This is one of my recent time consuming projects… I finally pulled everything together to make a fantastically awesome book of my work to show as a sample to those interested in just that – my work. I really love it and currently am treating it similar to how I...

I can’t believe how quickly we are approaching Christmas and 2010! Time always seems to fly (unless, of course, you happen to find yourself sitting at a desk) but I think the month of December goes the fastest. August is probably a close second when you are a student...

… and a happy thanksgiving to all

Nov 25, 2009 | seasonal

yikes. so long since a post. and you know why? so much going on! With the weather being nice on the weekends, I have been riddled with guilt at the idea of not venturing outside for at least a little while. And my room where I do all my crafting/editing/creative...

Fred Astaire…

in feline form. I love the idea of naming ‘sets’ of animals names that are pairs. Micky and Minnie. Bonnie and Clyde. Thelma and Louise. Chocolate and Moose. So, why not Fred and Ginger? Perfect! Fred started his life out as Diesel. That’s a cute and somewhat manly...

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon these images…    This little Peanut’s name is Guthrie – as in Arlo Guthrie. Cute, no? The Hulse family was the first family to let me take their photos and chase them around a park. They were so great to work with and when I...

This morning I was able to rouse myself from my sleepy slumber a bit earlier than usual. I am loving the extra light in my bedroom in the mornings. It has reinforced the idea that I’m not incredibly lazy, I just hate getting up when it’s dark out. And that, folks,...

October 10th 2009. One of the coldest October days that I can remember. AND the day that I was set up to visit Deer Lake Orchard and do a wonderful MINI session for all pet lovers out there. I had the day all scheduled. I had planed ahead quite a bit with all my...

Is it December, already?

I keep hearing that Photographer’s holiday season starts in September. It seems to be true. I know it’s the end of October, but on every blog I read and every cool photo website I go to, there is nothing but holidays holidays holidays. It’s OCTOBER people! But I...

Little Man Strugs

Oct 22, 2009 | chocolate moose images, portraits

Once upon a time there was a little man named Barrett. And in his younger year (or months) Barrett had a love for the camera. He was pretty content just lying there on a blanket and staring at himself in my camera lens. Fast forward to the new age of ‘young toddler’...
