The Petticoats have arrived!

Thumbnail
I can't wait for my next session with a little girl! I just ordered a bunch of Kaiya Eve Pettiskirts, and they arrived yesterday. These are going to be too darn cute. Hmmm...which little girls are due for their portraits?...

It's a dreary day...

Thumbnail
We are getting some much needed rain here in the Nashville area today...it's been 27 days without significant rainfall. Some of the storms were bad enough that I had to unplug the computer equipment. But everything seems to have turned green overnight! I did have to get out in the nasty weather today and deliver these portraits to a client....

On top of the world...

Thumbnail
This past Saturday, my very brave and very hyper husband went rock climbing with his friend, Jerrold. I am terrified of heights, and dreadfully out of shape, so I went shopping instead. But Kelly took along my trust little Canon Elph, and Jerrold was kind enough to take some shots as Kelly took the challenge and climbed to the top of that...

Say C-H-E-E-S-E!

Thumbnail
This little guy is the son of one of my colleagues - he can be quite the "ham" in front of the camera. ;...

A little vent this morning...

OK, I know I am not the greatest photographer in the world. I have many photographers whose work I admire, and I strive to learn from. I respect them. I have never been jealous of another photographer's work. I only try to figure out how to achieve similar results in my own work. So I get really ticked off when a newbie asks for advice, and then tells me I'm rude, disrespectful, and jealous when I give her the advice she asked for!...

A day at the Zoo...

Thumbnail
Or should I say Stroller Hell! I don't know what I was thinking when I agreed to go to the zoo with my friend Sarah, two of her boys, and a friend of her 6 year old. Really, it was 80 degrees and everyone in 4 counties was on Spring Break. Had I lost my mind?I arrived at the zoo at 10:20. Zoo Drive is about a mile, mile and a half long...

Well, I have joined a few more photographers' forums. Over at ILP (I Love Photography), I have joined a group that reads each other's blogs. So that means I actually have to update mine more than 3 times a year! OF course, that means I have to find something to blog about...OK, plans are moving forward on my new business venture. My...

Looking out...Gazing back

Thumbnail
I took this photograph while I was "going-walk-about" in San Francisco last December. The giant B+W portrait in the window caught my eye, but the people gazing up at it as they walked by was the story I was trying to catch. [P.S. This is one of those shots where it's best seen full-size...

The Intense Look

Thumbnail
This post is a little late as I was over on the Big Island for the last few days. While there I did a photo shoot with Alan, who is competing in a couple of bodybuilding events this summer. He is very dedicated to his sport so I'm sure he will do well! Anyhows, this is one of my favorite B+W images from that shoo...

Can you take just one more step back...?

Thumbnail
This is a shot of one of my photo buddies who is a pro sports photographer. He let me borrow his fisheye which was LOTS of fun to play with. The location where this was taken is one of the 'secret spots' on Oahu; it is a great place to go whale watching and to see the sunset. No worries about my friend though - neither the "model" nor the...
