Calendars are the classic end of the year gift. And it’s such a personal way to connect with friends and loved ones all year! What’s great about a calendar gift is there are no rules to calendar creation! It can be anything you want it to be! One image or 12, epic photos or snapshots,…
“Augh, you’re such a dork!” (or a “loser” or whatever….) Have you ever said that to yourself? I’d never say it to another person, but I’ve sure said it to myself before! We can be so hard on ourselves- so harsh, so demanding, so critical!! Where’s the Grace? I’ve been reading a great book lately,…
Photography is literally the preservation of our own personal Memory Lanes. I can’t tell you how many times I have taken a photo in the last 8 years purely for the purpose of remembering my life! Because if your life is over-full or on-the-go, and you are going and seeing a lot of things, you…
When it comes to choosing your art for display, sometimes we need to consider a collection perspective. I have recently been painting flowers, which is something I love to do.

The waves come crashing against the shore, constant, relentless, filling the sandy beach with new life, washing away the old, bringing the new. It’s the healing wash of the waves.

What do you see in your mind’s eye? When you quiet the mind, rest your eyes and allow visions to pop into your mind, what do you see? Recently I heard an Instagram story by Alicia Keys, where she interviews a Deepak Chopra, a meditation authority. Their conversation was on the topic of thankfulness. In…
Today is Sunday. It’s the day for inspiration. Only because I set myself a loose goal or direction to blog every day and Sunday seemed like a good day to write something inspiring. But honestly, it is just a day to DO that thing that has been on your mind. The thing that you have…
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…
While we were at Ben’s in Vermont, (continued from yesterday’s blog), we took a little stroll through the property, past the little houses he built (a blog about that is in the works!), and we headed for the outback field! We just took off down the path, out toward the pond where his dog loves…
