SubscribeMy mom will laugh…my dad will shriek…my hubby will probably ask if this is “appropriate”…and my own inner “healthy self” will mention something about hitting the gym again…BUT…yes, I said B.U.T. (not butt), I just had to jump in with both feet and post a very revealing blog post about nothing less than lovely, luscious,...
Being in the world of photography has lent itself to having many amazing photographer friends. I love nothing more than spending time collaborating on shoots with other photo pro’s & enthusiasts, or shooting each other from time to time to freshen up our social media & blogs.
BUT, when I was asked lately to actually “M-O-D-E-L”...
Recently, I’ve been spending quite a bit of time answering questions that come in about my work, website, blog, equipment, etc… and have also been asked to mentor a few new photographers. And to top it all off, I EVEN had two sweet gals approach me with requests to intern…da bomb! It is such an...
In celebration of their recent engagement, I had the joy of doing a fun engagement session for our dear friends, Frank & Jessica. Jessica had the fabulous idea to shoot in a forest, which of course I was stoked about! So she and I set off on an adventure, in the week preceding their shoot,...
PET PEEVES:
Pointless phone calls. “So…what’s up?” “Nuttin…whazup with you?” “Umm…nothing really.” “…” “Cool.” “MmmHmm.” “…”
Being tickled. (And don’t try it, and think it’s funny. I get violent. And our friendship might end up on the line.)
Being scared. (Like someone jumping out of a bush & yelling “Boo!” for no good reason.) Grrr…
Taking your sweatshirt (pants,...
My friend Gail is the queen of experimental dining. She tries out so many new recipes that I don’t think I have EVER tasted the same thing at her house more than once. And dinners at Gail’s house are EPIC! You see, Gail worked for Harry & David for many moons and developed some amazing...
I love, LoVe, LOVE when ladies come to me for boudoir to surprise their hubby’s with. It’s such an amazing, beautiful, timeless gift that EVERY hubby is sure to love!
I don’t like waiting until said hubby knows about such deliciousness to post peeks on my blog about it, or pop a new pic up on...
If you’re reading my blog (I’m in awe), you’re probably looking for some recent photos I’ve taken, or at least some photography chat. Hmm…alas, today you get this. Pregnancy mumblings. Sorry to disappoint you…truly. I feel a weight of guilt over two things…the fact that I’ve hardly blogged much this past month, and the fact...
I know. This is the longest I’ve ever gone between blog posts. But trust me when I tell you…I have a veeery good reason for being so remiss. I’ve been a bit out of commission this past month. What, you’re wondering, could possibly keep me from my blogging for so long? Well…I said it was...
I’m a bit behind on blogging this incredibly special family, but couldn’t resist showing their adorable faces fully decked out in their Christmas finest, this close to Christmas! So here, my internet friends, are some quick shots of a very sweet family for the holidays.
Thank you Elizabeth, for allowing me into your & Emilio’s secret-forest-haven...
Growing up, my brother was all about trains while I was all about horses. Wait…actually, I still am all about horses! Anyway, my mum…Marmie as I call her, in her ever amazing creativeness, made Michael and I custom Christmas stockings…needlepoint, velvet backs and all! And, of course, Mikey’s had a train on it and mine...
Ever since our newest equine rescue, The General, came to live with us after his extended time on the track, he has been a doll! The sweetest big boy you’ll ever meet…loves his peeps and loves his new pony pack! Unfortunately some much anticipated donation promises have yet to come through and my dear friend...
While I was busying putting some more festive touches on the house in between editing a wedding, Duke was taking a post-bath nap on his bed in the office. I paused, as I often do, so many times to give him little kisses & appreciate the depth of his snoring while I bustled around getting...
I truly have been blessed with SO many amazing friends since moving to SoCal! I miss getting to see my home girls in Oregon, and was very bummed to move hundreds of miles away from them. But God always provides, and provide He did! I am surrounded by loving, supportive, creative, energetic, honest, genuine friends...
This couple and wedding are an absolute fairy tale come true! I can’t say enough about Hans & Loraine. For as short of a time as I have known them, I have grown to love, respect and admire them. Their lives are a testament to following your calling and having faith in God! And I’m...
