photography for doers and dreamers
Dance. It’s one of those things in life that seeps into your soul in ways unexpected. Not unlike music. When you listen to music or watch a dancer, you see a different side of life, a beauty unparalleled in the never-ending to-do lists and piles of laundry. It’s an ethereal experience, even a holy one [...]
For most of my life, certainly all of my adult years, I have dreaded my birthday. Not like some people pretend to, but really, wholeheartedly, and with fervor wished the day would just pass swiftly and without any notice. Or barring that, if I could just sleep through the entire day and not ever wake [...]

I'm here! In the city that never sleeps. I'm reminded of a dance I did in junior year to the song, "New York, New York." I wonder if that is where my obsession with this city began. All my life (as long as I can remember), there have been two places that I longed to [...]
Are you on Flickr? Do you really use it? I'm curious to know because I just recently started using it more frequently to upload, post, and view images. I've had an account for years but barely posted anything there since I didn't really see a need for it. However, after starting my tasra365 photography challenge [...]
My children. My husband. Real friends. Quiet time. Captivating images. Heartfelt stories. Yummy food. Funny movies. True laughter. Fresh air. Majestic mountains. Crashing waves. Seems I had almost all of the above today on my birthday and I feel blessed beyond measure. Some of my favorite things are my children, my photography, and capturing priceless moments. [...]

If you've been blogging for a while, you've probably heard of BlogHer, perhaps even attended the conference. Well, it's happening right now in Chicago. Wish I could've been there, but since we just returned from our speaking engagement in New Jersey, film shoot in New York, and visit with friends in Richmond, it was a little [...]
Ever since I was a little girl getting a new dress every year, Easter has been my favorite holiday celebration. I loved waking up early for sunrise service and knowing that I was free. I always had such a sense of anticipation and excitement for the day and still do. I hope today is filled [...]
