Yesterday would have been my mom’s 78th birthday. We went to visit the special place we have to remember her that is this lovely tree outside my childhood home. I miss her so much. ❤️🩷

The light on this beautiful baby was breathtaking this morning. Couldn’t help but want to capture it!

Do you have a favorite flower? Is it due to it’s looks, fragrance or because someone special once gave you that variety? My faves are lilacs, peonies and roses… Lilacs because my mom planted tons of them along our fence at my childhood home and I LOVE how they smell… Peonies because they are stunning when the bloom and I had them for my wedding bouquet and roses because, well, they’re gorgeous! Spring is here and I can’t wait to see lots of these soon! 🌹💐🌺🌷🌻 * * *

Embarking on a few new magical endeavors… excited to use some new skills and ideas!

Hoping you have a wonderful holiday and a fantastic new year!

Does anyone out there remember Mola Ram from Indians Jones??? He was the guy who ripped another guy’s heart out in the movie. So there is your reference point to this image… this is the costume I made for my husband (pictured here in a past Halloween) as that character. I sculpted the horns and teeth necklace and thrifted/sewed the rest (including the shrunken head 😂). 5 days and counting until All Hallows’ Eve!

It’s Halloween week and I couldn’t be more excited! Wanted to share one of my favorite costumes (if you don’t know me - this is me as the female version of Sherlock Holmes from a couple years back). Virtually every year for the past 15 years I have made costumes for Halloween 🎃. Some for myself but mostly for my family and friends. Some are thrifted, some are sewn and or sculpted by me and some are a mix of the those. Is your favorite holiday Halloween too? 👻 I wish it could come at least twice a year!! 🐈‍⬛🍁🧡🎃

Throwback Thursday to an incredible senior session a few years ago. Great model with confidence, poise and personality you can feel in the images. The trifecta for getting amazing portraits!

I’ve been looking a lot at my favorite work lately and it seems I that I really like shooting into the sun. I’ve been doing it my whole career but this year I’ve embraced it in a whole new level. There is something about the warm glow that really calls to me and backlit images just seem dreamy… the good kind of dream. 😊

This is Star. She is my little pride and joy. Of all of the things I photograph, I tend to photograph her the most, which is telling. She is readily available though. I’m pretty sure I have well over 1000 photographs of her in my phone right now. 😳
She is around 17 and purrs like a finely tuned motor for hours, unlike any other feline I’ve ever known. Just thought she was worth sharing today. Happy Tuesday! 🐈‍⬛❤️
