I’ve been pushing myself in these slower months to get creative and create more of my fine art work. Even if it’s not a fully defined idea when I start – I think it’s good to push my boundaries a little and try new things. So today I’m sharing another in my self-portrait series that …

Studio vs. On-Location Photography
I know I’ve written before (many a time) about the options that are available to you as a consumer when it comes to photographer. We’ve talked about finding the right photographer for you, what to look for in a newborn photographer, what to look for in a senior photographer, and more. So I thought today …
Uncomfortably Defined
… sigh… So… I’m not sure where to start and I’m not sure how this will come across, but we’ll see if any of this makes sense by the time I’m done writing. You know, I’ve been writing and sharing little pieces of our story, our journey to grow our family here for the past …

Being Authentic in Business
I was having a really wonderful conversation recently with a friend and fellow photographer. We started discussing how often we hear about the importance of being authentic in our businesses. It seems like everywhere you turn there is some business or marketing guru preaching the significance of authenticity. And often the people who are preaching …
Fine Art Piece: Powerless
I wanted to share another fine art piece with you today. As you guys know I’ve been slowly creating and sharing pieces from my self-portrait series that I’m calling The Journey.
