ANNIVERSARY #31: 10-11-2020 I woke up super early this morning thinking about the fact that I SHOULD have posted a Blog on Sunday morning… but I didn’t because I had a two-day wedding to shoot that was all video (a Love Story feature film!) and by the end of the day I was whooped! But…

The Magic of Slow Mo…

The Magic of Slow Mo…

I recently did a video project with Master Photographer, Joey Ikemoto, promoting him and his studio. The goal was to show him in action with clients, posing, laughing, lighting and the whole process of the photo shoot.

Freedom of Style

Freedom of Style

Freedom is a hot topic these days….freedom of speech, freedom from control, freedom to BE who we want to be. (and we won’t get any more political than that!) But when we think about our art, we need to remember we have freedom to express ourselves however we want. In huge, loose strokes, or in…

The War of Art- the struggle is real!

JULY 1 It is incredibly hard to get started on something you feel is so important you don’t know where to start. We are worried about the future, the overall message, the sequence, the whatever! So much that we DON’T get started and we put it off for another day thinking we will be thinking…

Blend-IF: Photoshop Magic for Signatures

Blend-IF: Photoshop Magic for Signatures

  Ok, so I had a call from a friend (and long-ago student) who is designing the coolest cookbook ever, featuring the recipes and family memories of her late Mom who passed away about two years ago. What a lovely way to honor her, remember her and continue the family traditions! It will be a…

Therapy Thursday: Step One

Therapy Thursday: Step One

#SuzetteSays Let’s not agonize and overthink this. (again) In fact, let’s just jump in with STEP ONE. I’m reading a book, called HOW TO BE HERE, by Rob Bell and it’s been such an inspiration- I can’t even describe it. But in Part 5, “The First Number”, in the chapter called “Step One”, he talks…
