We met in the country.
On the road.
Her name was Jada.
I took her portrait.
For free.
Because I would do this for free.
If I could.
It’s good for the soul.

Just a little note to mention that I will be out of the office Friday July 4th to Sunday July 12th.
I am really hoping to completely unplug to allow the creative side of my brain to rest for a bit. Sometimes it gets going and then I drive my husband crazy.
I will still have limited access to email, but I will only be checking it once a day.
If you have any business that needs to be completed or you want to schedule a session, please do so by Thursday afternoon. Most weekends are booked into August but I still have plenty of weekday afternoons available. My favorite time to shoot because it cools down a bit and there is nothing like the light here in the evening during the summer. Gorgeous!
While on the ferry a few days ago, I decided to do a small personal project.
I walked around the ferry with my 50 1.4 and forced myself to stay at an aperture of 1.4 (Manually, of course).
It was a really fun project. All these happened in just 15 minutes. Here’s what I saw.











So a few weeks ago I posted something about a future mentorship program. I set up an email address just for this program and had it set to forward to my gmail.
Apparently that didn’t work.
After a few emails from some folks telling me that they had signed up, it dawned on me.
The emails never forwarded.
So I logged in to my regular mail client and I am totally overwhelmed at the amount of people that emailed me. And I have not responded to any of them. So to all of you out there that that expressed interest, I am so sorry I have not responded yet. I am going to go through them all this weekend and when I’m up and running, I will let you all know.
I did a small personal project while on the ferry yesterday evening and I will share that soon, but here is a fun one!
[Every stall was filled, 5 on each side, so I had to shoot quickly! FYI … The shutter on a 5D is NOT quiet!!]

I was digging through my archives today grabbing some images for a project I am part of and ran across Dylan’s session. It was one of my early faves!
From the archives. Dylan + Mom. Soooo cute!
(Oh and just for fun, Gracie is in my office with me. Dreaming away and wagging her tail in her sleep!)
