So with everything Ryan and I have been going through on this journey, I needed to connect. I needed something to ground me and help me feel more solid in where we are at. So being the giant nerd that I am – I looked to books. I wish I could say there’s a wealth …
What to Wear: Styling with Shoes
I had another post scheduled for today, but I decided to share another What to Wear Wednesday with all of you instead. As you all know, fall is hands down my favorite time of year. And I love all the different options for clothing you have this time of year with layering and accessories. Today …
Converting Film Negatives in Photoshop
Every once in a while, I will get a special request from family, friends or a client asking me if I would be able to do something with cherished old photographs. Sometimes it’s taking an old print they have and giving it new life. Sometimes it’s taking one of the old curved surface prints and …
Gratitude Project: September 2015
It’s been a little while since the last time I shared any of my artwork from my Gratitude Project with all of you. In spite of my fine art projects, I still seem to find time and have a desire to go out with my camera and document the things that move me! Especially on …

Lessons from Art School: Film Photography Nostalgia
One of the things I pride myself on as a professional photographer is that I am fully trained and educated in my field. While many photographers today are self taught and have no degrees or certifications in their craft – I actually went to college and double majored in photography and graphic design. Now I’m …

Why I Write…
When I started writing here over 7 years and 900 posts ago, I mainly used this space to post about my business and share my photographs. Because that’s what you’re “supposed to do” when you’re a photographer. You get a website and you start blogging. I was so new and fresh to this world of …
