Relish in them. Seek them. Find them. Soak them in. The Good Things.
This week has been a doozy for lots of people I know. Sadness that school has started. Deployments. Illness. Frustrations of the new routines. Drama. All kinds of things have been out of whack this week for people I know.
As a lot of you know...

She wasn’t planning on having her image taken. She was “just” the grandma at the session. Oh yes, {grandma}, of the four little munchins in front of me. She thought she was only there to help if she was needed. I had another idea in mind. I told her to let her hair out of...

After the HOMECOMING and STONE MOUNTIAN and the LIGHTHOUSE we took a trip back into the past.
I knew it was going to be a great day when the first image I see is this….
Colonial Williamsburg was spectacular. I really was in my dream world of imagery. The textures, the lines, the clothes, the simple way...

Back to our journey out East…Days after Tony’s HOMECOMING we started our three day trip back to where he just flew in from. I was the professional “sitter”, he was the driver and Emmy was the designator bathroom spotter.
First stop…The Family Mountain. Also known as STONE MOUNTAIN. We saw the signs and had to check it out. ...

So here is my advice for the day. When you are cooking fish sticks and a certain 4...

She didn’t think it would work. There was no way we could do a session out at their place.
I hear this a lot from clients. You know the saying…”If I had a penny for every-time I heard that”… Well this is the statement for me. “You want to do the session at our place. I...

move it…move it.
or rather we call it…”shake it!”
That is our thing.
Em loves to dance. I love to dance. We love to dance.
I always have and hopefully she always will.
She had her very first dance recital this past weekend.
I have to say she really surprised me. They had a little mini routine they did at Christmas and...

Why do a Day After Shoot?
One simple reason…they ROCK!
We can do so much more with A Day After Session. The stress of the big day is over. There is way more time. And we can use some pretty cool props like these…
(You could never tell that SUWANEE and I were bundled up in jackets and...

Me and details go hand in hand. I try to let them go. I really do. But deep down inside I am all about the details.
When I am at a wedding, I go for the detail shots. They give a hint of the personalities behind them. Like here….
Sometimes they tell the story of the past. ...

Patience.
This is what I tell myself, up-teen times a day.
I knew when my dad told me today that the bluebonnets were dying I would need to have patience.
From the moment I say the one little flower, I had a concept shoot in mind. Emmersyn in a hippy flowing dress on a vintage trike in the middle...

It does. When you see someone you can just feel it. Fabulous-ness. When they have it, it just oozes it out from every pore.
Her look was awesome. The hair…my goodness the hair. If I could pull off long hair, this would be the style I would go for. Her glasses-Love them! Her playful side, so fun. And...

I would take a deep thought versus a cheese any-day. A ponder versus a smile. Just being versus hamming it up. A smile from the eyes versus a smile from the lips. I really do gravitate towards the soulful side of those in front of my lens.
Miss J fits this perfectly. I enjoyed finding what...

This girl knows how to have a good time. The moment I met her I just knew.
Every time I looked at her she was laughing. Whether it was with her girlfriends or with herself. She was smiling from ear to ear. Even when we tried to be serious she was laughing. In a good way.
Sometimes I...

I won’t blah away too much, because I know she is waiting.
I do feel her pain though. Being in the middle of the alphabet kinda sucks sometimes. When I was a kid in school, I was always in the middle. It didn’t matter if they started at the beginning or the end, I was always...

When folks hear my daughters name theyoften ask, “how did you come up with that one?” Would you believe me if I said an electronic? OR would it be more believable if I said the American transcendentalist?
What’s in a name? Where does it come from?
I find myself asking that when I meet people.
Especially when I met...
