Hi all,

I just got a few sample photos in to demonstrate to clients the quality of products I have available for them.  And holy moly – these samples sure live up to that statement!

The first is a beautifully, beautifully framed 11×14 print (I’m not kidding when I say my jaw dropped upon unwrapping this beauty of a frame), and the second is a gorgeous float-wrapped canvas.  It’s got a thicker “center” in the back of it to help it stand out (or float) from the wall.  Really cool and just so stunning.  This one’s 16×20.

And, one more thing before you get to see the photos, I’m super excited that the very friendly Assistant Photo Editor for the Chronicle of Higher Education contacted me to photograph a story for them up in Pablo, MT.  (I’m freelancing for them – they’re located in Washington D.C.)  I won’t reveal what the story is about until the actual article appears, but it’ll be great I’m sure, and it means I get to spend half a day in Pablo, documenting a day-in-the-life of one of Pablo’s residents.  I’ll post a link to that article when it’s published.  :)

And now I’m off to have a fun Friday evening with friends.

Cheers!

It was Christmas in January for me today – I got a new 50mm macro lens (yay!) and figured I had to play around with it.  (Twist my arm, right?)  So…what to photograph?  One of my rings seemed like a good idea.  The poor old thing is rather rough around the edges (it’s been with me for…oh…17 years and I’ve worn it non-stop).  But, I had fun – gosh, I love macro photography.  I seriously kind of love the last shot…I suppose it appeals to my minimalist side.  (And, I couldn’t resist and threw in a shot of some knitting and bamboo needles, too.)  Anyway, just wanted to share some uberly macro photos – enjoy!

Cheers!

    I found your website and am so pleased that you are enjoying photography so much. We’ll be looking forward to seeing your photos taken this last Monday at Pablo, MT. Now I know a little bit more about what “macro” photography can do, but the photographer has to see it all in her mind’s eye, first. Thanks for sharing.

    The photo of your ring is really striking. It makes me think of the celebrations we’ve had together — even that silly banana “birthday cake”!
    Love, Grandma

  • Thanks for the comment, G&G! I had completely forgotten that banana birthday cake! I’m hoping to post the Pablo photos sometime soon with a link to the actual story as well. If you want, I can help you subscribe to this blog…that way you’ll receive e-mail notifications every time I add a new posting. Let me know what you think! :) Love you!

Hi all,

I just wanted to share a couple product shots that I did for Barb of Wild Thymes Pattern Co. in their final product versions.  She’s used my photos in her pattern kits, and several other shots have been used in a quilting catalog, The Pine Needle, based out of Oregon.  Check ‘em out!  (Also, it’s worth mentioning that the design of the Pine Needle is very nicely done.)

Here's the cover of the catalog...

My photos are the ones at left.

Barb's quilt that I photographed.

The colorful wool bundles that I photographed.

Fun stuff!

Cheers,

Hi there potential brides and grooms,

I just wanted to let you know that, unfortunately, I will NOT have a booth at the wedding fair this Saturday. It’s for no other reason than it’s difficult to get a spot since the fair only allows a certain number of photographers to have a booth – basically, it’s at random who’s in the fair. If I coulda, I woulda!

However, you can still always set up a time to meet with me and chat. As usual, chatting is free. :) Be in touch!

Cheers!

Hi all,

I finally got around to putting together a fun (and short) little video which features my vibrant, photojournalism style of shooting….the photos are from the wedding I shot in Cancun.  I hope you like it!  I think it’s kinda fun and makes me smile – hope it does the same for you! Feel free to share with friends if you like it. :)

Cheers!
