30 minutes after I arrived at the location of the wedding, there was an area wide power outage. Luckily my lights are battery operated and I was able to provide light for everyone! Also, the bride wanted the images to be edited in a cool tone. So an added …

Do you need images for social media? I've been invited to come every 3 months to capture new images of Beckley Chiropractic. Every time they need to make a post they can pull from their library of recent images!

I photographed this sweet girl when she was a little girl. Her mom caught up with me now that she's all grown! I'll add some of her childhood photos as I dig them out of the archives. What a Joy!

So I'm editing this beautiful wedding and i find this woman i had forgotten about. Grandmother of the Bride, making sure Grandpa was by her side and his legacy wasnt forgotten. For those of you who dont know, my "bread and butter gig" has been photographing in …

I love this image. I met this sweet girl when I was on location in Alton, IL. We bonded at my table after having so much fun taking her portrait. She tells me she's getting married the next summer In Lincoln, NE. A year, a test run to Lincoln and some zoom …

This fabulous model gave me lots of time to play with all the new colorful studio lights! These have no filters and no photoshop! <3

In 2017, I hopped an Amtrak for San Francisco. I had a friend and a sister in the are and knew it was time. It was like a work sabbatical, except I didn't get paid. The only thing I got out of the deal was bragging rights, so here we go ;) 

It takes 43 hours …

I am designing a program around the needs of our First Responders! I'm offering a free portrait to TPD, TFD, Paramedics, First Responders. Maybe I'll schedule it for the month of April! I want it to be on going, but I need to get some momentum going. Someone …

I'm making up this marketing thing as I go along. Scratching the inner most intricate places of my brain in effort to be effective. Slowly but surely! We'll get there!

I took this photo in Ireland! So fun I'm finding I can use my own photography as my stock photography! 25 years as a photographer makes for a LLLLLLLot of images <3. Details about the party are to come!

This sweet girl... Tiffany knocked her boudoir session out of the park! Dana Ziegler's makeup of Coffee and Lashes is so good at tailoring to her canvases. She nails it every time! <3

Thomasina DeMaio, San Francisco Painter, been part of the Artist Elites since the late 70's, maybe the 80's she told me all the stories of the times of the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco. It changed the population of the area. She said every week someone would …

Local Artist Randy Roach practices the 1851 art of tintype photography. We are blessed as a community to be able to pass these heirlooms down to thru our Legacy. So thankful. 

So we had a Client Appreciation NYE Party! Make Up! Music and Tintype Photography! Super successful. Happy times. Loved.

Turns out if I make my own 4-5 social media posts per week... I can pay MYSELF $500/mo. It's really hard to transition into being more transparent, but also I don't think I really want someone else representing me anyway! I want to be able to tell people what's …

I recall, this picture came from my Merry Christmas Blog. Which, Christmas is over, but the photo will be a forever favorite of mine. Two of my kids and my sweet grandgirls <3

My NOTO Arts District studio was so good to me. It was gifted to me to steward for 7 years. I'm thankful for the experiences and lessons I've received from my time there. I'm a lucky girl to move into a space where there's room for growth and evolution. I …

Turns out... on this new website of mine, its very easy to delete an entire blog. Sooooo... I'll do a little bit of recapping. Emotions and excitement for the unknown that seemed so significant at the time are difficult to recall. Good thing there's plenty …

I thought these pictures were gone forever. Recently I stumbled upon an external hard drive and I was so grateful to find that I backed up everything I had in 2017. In it was thousands of pictures I took when I spent 12 in Northern Ireland and Scotland. That …
