prom – spring ’09

My first session was extremely fun thanks to these two!  I’m almost finished post-processing – trying not to overdo it. I wanted to share my favorites here.   I definitely took too many shots, just to make sure that I got “the one”.  I kept thinking “Senior prom only happens once.”  I can only imagine what...

Some of you may remember this image as my old blog header – I hold it near and dear. I am officially making the move from Picasa to Lightroom for my photo organization.  I still believe that Picasa is a great (not to mention, free) application – I just found that I need more control...

Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer. ~Barbara Kingsolver

how sweet it is

When I was younger, I would spend summer evenings with my father in his garden as he watered his plants and vegetables.  He would spray my bare feet, and I would laugh, giggle, and run away – always to come back for more. It warms my heart when I see my daughter sharing the same...

Three things that I love ~ Carrying my camera with me everywhere I go.  I love to freeze moments in time that I don’t ever want to forget. The first few minutes I spend every morning snuggling in bed with my two year old.  I love the quiet peace that we share together during that...

let go

Let go.  Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love? ~ Leo Buscaglia +++++++++++++++ When it is our time, we must let go.  Take a leap...
