Light Painting

Tonight we did a little light painting in the back yard! It’s been a long time since we just played around with the camera and light. Earlier this week I saw tiny mushrooms that were growing around the base of several trees in my neighborhood. They gave me the idea of a photo shoot I’ve been…

My Girls

I thought it was time for some new pictures of my daughters. The best thing about being a photographer is being able to update pictures of my own children whenever I feel like it. Clearly, I want new pictures every season. So, I take new pictures all the time and I’m very lucky my daughters…

Tiny Moments in Time

I love to take pictures. I love to capture moments in time that will never be here again. That all sounds so great, right? I mean really, isn’t that why we all take pictures? We want to remember a moment of something that happened, or a life event. I think what I really want is to…
