Father & Son Shoot

Tuesday I was scheduled to have a father/son shoot late in the afternoon. As things unfolded, it turned out that my client couldn’t make it. Rather than skip the shoot, I decided to do it anyway with my own father and son duo. I had the ideas, location and final day on a rental portrait……

Stacie & Zachary

To say that I am ecstatic with the results of this shoot would be an understatement. Early in the week, the forecast was calling for rain.  Since rescheduling would be difficult, we chose to stick it out and hope that it was a light rain at worst.  I brainstormed ways that we could work with……

5 Ways

I mentioned it in my last post but I just have to reiterate how thankful I am that my mother shares my passion.  I delight in seeing her perspective.  A grandmothers view.  Her read of available light.  Not to mention that 95% of the pictures of me in the last several years have been from……

Another Mini-Milestone

It’s a site that allows you to print your own designs on a variety of fabric.  With my recent sewing kick, this was right up my ally.  I immediately……

Orton Effect

As with any hobby/profession, one learns most when surrounded by people with similar interests. When my photography was merely a budding hobby, I partnered myself with a few forums. They were places where I could ask questions and glean some well placed advice through comments and critiques. Over the years many groups and forums have……
