My very last session of the year was with my own family. It had been six years in the making but we finally did it. There is a multitude of reasons as to why it took so long. A photographer’s family is no different than a family that doesn’t have a photographer as a member. […]

First of all, let me apologize if you saw my previous story on Instagram. I stated that I would blog about my latest family portrait session. Yes, this post is about a family portrait session, just not my family. Because of time, lack of time and life, I was unable to edit the images from […]

It is just a few days before Christmas & I have yet to really do any Christmas shopping. You read that right. I. Haven’t. Even. Started. Why is that, you ask. I really hate shopping. That’s really it. I really hate shopping and Christmas shopping seems to exacerbate that hate. The reason is that Christmas […]

I’m tired. I’m so tired. This year has been something for the history books. First, it was an election year and I hate election years. Why, you ask. Because we are bombarded with campaign ads, usually negative ones. Then we get bombarded with campaign texts, calls and emails. I am so over it. And who […]

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing one of my most favorite families. In fact, I photograph them every year for their annual Christmas cards. I believe I have been photographing them for about 11 years now. Out of those 11 years, there is only one time I did not photograph them but […]

If you’ve followed me for some time now and actually have a good memory, then you know what this time of year is. For those of you who don’t know, it’s my birthday time. My birthday was on Tuesday and every year I do a blog about my birthday or at least something I learned […]

So, if you have been following me for a while, you know that I really dislike having my portrait taken. Yes, I know it’s ironic but it is what it is. I just don’t feel that I am very photogenic. My friends and family disagree but I feel that I look better in person. Even […]

If you follow me, you may have noticed that recently I advertised for Fall mini-sessions. These types of sessions are not my normal thing but I figured, hey, why not try it.  Well, let’s just say it was not a successful venture. People seemed interested in it and in my photography but I’m guessing that […]

Every now and again (actually this is only the 2nd time) I allow guest posts on my blog. Well, it is my blog and I do want to keep it in my voice, but there are times when I share my platform. This is especially true when someone has some good information to present. For […]
