Sing it with me….”Oompa Loompa doompadah dee”. That is how I felt. I was layered up like there was no tomorrow. I mean that last time I played in the snow was in 2004 up in Indiana when they had a really bad blizzard. The temp was 3 degrees. One, Two, Three! It was ca-ca-cold....

I thought long and hard about making chicken and dumplings today. It was just one of those days. Cold, raining and just plain o’ dull outside. Plus it was my BFF’s birthday. Chicken and dumplings is her specialty. Which I have highjacked the receipe from her and Paula Dean-ified it. Thus thinking long and hard, “Do I really...

We have arrived to our new stomping grounds. Our new home is the same for the 2009 Little League World Champions, Chargers and Padres: San Diego! The weather is amazing and the views are spectacular!

I started reading a book recently that was recommended. Strike that, wasn’t recommended. Wrong book, but right author. I didnt realize that it was the wrong book until I was well into and came to a part, that I know would never have been recommended. Immediately, I was like man oh man. This is definitely the...

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...

As we are driving along our trip after this and this and this and this and this Tony is amazed at how I can STILL be in awe of trees. “I just am”, was my normal response right after, “You are not from my part of Texas.” See in my parts we barely have enough rain to keep...

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...

For me, I think I would of loved living back in the day. Waaaaay back in the day. When it was cool to be light and not sun tanned. When the women wore those puffing dresses showing off your waist and hiding everything else. Big floppy hats were the thing to wear . I am talking...

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...

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...
