photography for doers and dreamers
So I’m not sticking with the theme this week. I will definitely work on that in 2010. But for today I want to reflect on where I was 10 years ago at this time. In one word, Y2K. Well, if that’s a word. I was a single mom in a ministry that was a bit [...]
Hidden treasure. Seriously, I found hidden treasure in my uncluttering today. The most valuable treasures I found were my collector’s figurines that I received as a gift years ago. I love these girls and am so thrilled to have found them so I can display them in my room. They make me happy every time [...]
You’re all set up for a photo shoot. Maybe it’s one of your first, you’re doing it for free to get practice or build your portfolio. Or perhaps it’s a client that booked you after seeing your images on Facebook or your blog. You’re excited. You’ve looked at images for inspiration. You connected with your [...]
Today I put together a few gifts (albeit a bit late) for some dear friends. If you’ll remember about a month ago, I showed you an example of a new custom photo card I had printed with one of my images. Well, I had a few more printed and assembled them into sets of 10 [...]

Here are her words… I went from being just an avid picture-taker (which I’ve always been actually) to an aspiring “for real” photographer. My [...]
Instead of buying stuff for one another this Christmas, Ron and I decided to give each other the gift of time. So we planned an evening out, dinner at Picasso Wine Bar and dessert at Starbucks. It was the perfect gift and made for some interesting images for today. I particularly love the colors, lines, [...]
Yep, his fifth Christmas and he finally really got it…Santa comes down the chimney, eats milk and cookies, gives us presents and we get to open them. But don’t forget about the real Christmas story and prayer before opening presents. Or about the three presents Santa promised when Daddy called him since it was too [...]
This time last year we had only been in our house for about 10 days. And we had none of our stuff except what fit in our minivan for the drive cross country. The moving company hijacked our stuff for a month, including all the Christmas gifts so we made do with a couple air [...]
As I write, it’s less than six hours from Christmas Eve. I’m starting to feel the pressure, as if I’m getting pulled into the swirling vortex of holiday frenzy. Am I alone? Or are you feeling the pull and getting lost in the swirl with me? I’ve done well up until this point, not obsessed [...]
