For I Have Found The One
My gift to them was photographing their wedding, but I wanted to give them something tangible before the ceremony...
Natural Beauty
1/125 sec at f/11 and ISO 100 at 185mm. Shot with Nikon D810 and Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8, lit with two AlienBee 800's and softboxes. Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.
Chairs for Two
Ever have a memory that’s fuzzy and splotched with time, but there’s one element of the memory – a person or a thing – that stands out clearly? This image represents the clarity of that pair of rocking chairs, just waiting at the lake for someone, or a pair of someones.
My Studio Companion
1/125s at f/3.5 and ISO 800 using a Nikon D810 with 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor lens. Natural light from the window behind subject, along with ambient room lighting.
What’s cuter than a little girl in Mommy’s wedding dress?
Yesterday, I spent a fantastically fun morning with my best friend, Audrey, and her 4-year-old daughter, Tegan. We’ve been talking about doing this since Tegan was a baby, and we finally made it happen; we dressed her up in Mommy’s wedding gown and took pictures in my studio!
It’s About Time
My last post was in August of last year. Seven months. Sheesh. But every time I sat down at the keyboard, I found myself struggling with where to begin.
Breaking the Ice (2015)
Let’s get to know each other a little better, shall we?
Put On A Happy Face
...My mother’s sure-fire solution, in particular when we were in public, was to wrap her arms around me and sing “Put On A Happy Face” at the top of her lungs....
Your Talent
I fell in love with this sentiment the moment I spotted it on Pinterest. I decided it was perfect for my studio. I used the digital kit F-Stop by Heather Roselli along with styles by Mommyish and some of my recent photography.
“Why you want to leave me?”
Certain phrases work their way into our family vernacular and, over time, I forget where they originated...
Desire to Create
I collect quotes + words + bits of wisdom on several of my Pinterest boards. I love being surrounded by words. Maybe it’s the voracious reader in me … but I’d rather see words + ideas on my walls than simply photographs. I created this for a 16×20 frame in my studio.
No more fear.
I blogged regularly from 2006-2010. Then, as my health began to unravel, faster and faster, like a ball of yarn rolling down a staircase, my posts stopped.
