This was a image I had to make. It burned in my mind for months and I could not get it out until it had been created. The night before the sunrise shoot I could barely sleep. In the field during wint...
Sometimes it is more of a feeling I want to convey in my photography instead of a storyline or concept. I knew going into my shoot with Tyler that I wanted a melancholy scene and was inspired by the ...
Every image is a new journey for me. I dont believe I have a consistent style and after years of struggling with feeling like I should I have decided that I am OK with it. I love exploring and trying...
While in Australia I had the opportunity to interview with the editor of SilverShotz: The International Journal of Contemporary Photography. I am featured in Volume 7, Edition 6. I just received my c...
I am back from Australia now, with a major case of jet lag. I knew my trip would be an important moment in my life, but I didnt realize just how life changing it would be. I came to the Gold Coast as...
While at August Exposure, I had the opportunity to do a shoot and had 20 of the attendees come along with me. The weather was unpredictable, in fact, at times it was down right torrential. Luckily I ...
What a ride the past four years have been. I rekindled my love of photography. I did this for myself and myself only; just for fun, a hobby, a release. Slowly this "hobby" became more than I ...
Back in February I came up with an idea to create a large birds nest for a womans head. At the same time, my friend and producer of bigger shoots, Gretta, became pregnant with twins. Everything sort ...
As the year is coming to a close, I would like to extend a warm thanks to all my clients, customers, associates, friends and family who have made 2010 a successful year. Big things are coming in 2011...
I thoroughly enjoyed shooting recent high school graduate Natalie. She has already started college and has a bright future ahead of her. It was a frigid day, but she was a trouper, wearing strapless ...
February is here; the month of romance and love. Here is a little boudoir from my latest Valentines Day sessions to start your month off! p.s. Boudoir sessions are available anytime of the year!
She had always wanted to be in a room filled top to bottom with balloons, and that day she was. The space quickly turned into a surreal, magical playground. Drowning in a sea of iridescent pink, we s...
I love to combine craft projects with shoots. It all started with making a dress out of a book, a birds nest hat was sure to follow. Whats next? Lets see... Im thinking big.Model: Gretta KohlerMUA: E...
Spring is here. The days are getting longer, color is peaking out from once bare branches. A new life awaits. Beautiful both inside and out, the mother glowed. Her child will be here in a matter of w...
Hi everyone! Hope Spring has been good to you so far. I am busy with new shoots, new ideas and enjoying spending time with family. I receive emails from time to time inquiring about my techniques, ba...
Some clients touch your heart and stay with you long after the shutter goes off. That was Sheila; a spunky, cowboy boot wearing woman, full of life. In her first email to me her words were, "I am...
Life is better than anything on television. (Or at least it can be, if you turn it off long enough to give it a try.)This is the first of a new series I am working on; combining technology with natur...
It was as if I had stepped back in time. Crumpled sheets cascading in a wave of orange and brown, polyester lingerie, amber glasses and even a Marie Osmond tee (oh yes she did). It was a scene worthy...
After having my daughter, I heard the same comment from friends, family and strangers, "Enjoy this time, it goes by so fast." I heard this constantly, over and over to the point I wanted to s...
I woke up one morning with the childrens book Caps For Sale in my head. I hadnt thought of that book in decades, but suddenly I remembered being fascinated with the illustrations of the peddler with ...
I feel spun and sleep deprived. I am happy to report that my creative juices are flowing beyond belief. That usually is followed by restless nights lying awake with ideas running through my head or s...
When Sara contacted me that she wanted to have portraits made with the three new members of her family, her chickens Alice, Nuggett and Henrietta, I was thrilled! What a opportunity for some fun and ...
My model Tracys heritage is of Cherokee/Lumbee decent. When concepting a portrait session for her, we both decided it would be great to honor that part of her family. With the help of her Uncle John ...
I am very excited about my new opening on Sunday for LadyLike: Portraits of Fascinating Women. This is a different kind of show for me, for once, I am not in a single image! This exhibit brings toget...
