I love these kinds of portraits, where the viewer gets to “look in on” a person just doing their thing, where the fact that a photographer is there is not relevant to the subject of the images. Capturing a moment in time, unposed and unaffected. Because these are the memories I most want to savor […]
This month I signed up for my first ever CM Breakout Session, “Lensbaby Love: The Basics and Beyond”. I got my Lensbaby last year and have been practicing like crazy, but there were still things I wanted to learn. So when this breakout was announced, I decided to finally try one. It was such fun, […]
I love shooting wide open, and I love it even more when I get glorious circles of light, so I was excited about this month’s challenge! But then Emily asked if we could scrapbook this weekend, and since she is starting high school (high school!!!!) in a few days, I was feeling nostalgic so it […]

This month, I decided to dedicate my Lensbaby post to shots from a special evening our little family spent at Filoli, called Step Back in Time. It was such fun! We got to be at the park as the sun was setting, and it was simply beautiful! Tom and I had intended to get costumes, […]
A couple of weeks ago Emily and I were in Disneyland yet again! This time was one of the reasons we ended up getting annual passes this year: It was one of the several planned trips we were taking that made it a smart move. My sister and I have been talking about going together […]
Our assignment this month was to “think outside the box”: to find a location we wouldn’t ordinarily think of to shoot in, and figure out how to make it pretty. I was excited about it, because location scouting around here has long been on my to-do list! But alas, it will have to remain on […]
