“Hey, do you have those earrings I handed you?” “Oh, sure,” I quickly answer. Really inside I was trying to remember just what earrings she was talking about. It was day three of the bike tour (I was doing this shoot at my stopover in Nashville) and I had officially gotten less sleep than I [...]

…
Spoken by Bono last night at the California Women’s Conference:
“When America looks outside of itself, its view of itself is never clearer. Its faith in itself is never firmer. Its purpose is never stronger. Today, at a time when America, again, is tempted to turn inward, turn away from the world and its troubles, it [...]
My Life

“Hey you. Let’s go on a walk.”
“Excuse me? Did you heeeaaar me?”
“What’s that thing making noise?”
“HEY! What are you doing? Stop typing and take me on a walk!”
“Fine. I’ll just lick your hand until you have to pay attention to me.”
“Who are you? Will you take me for a [...]
Saturday
I understand that this is total last minute, but I figured I’d throw it out anyway…
Saturday I am shooting a wedding in Knoxville. If anyone would like to tag along to serve as an assistant (help me with lens changes, make sure the bride’s veil is straight, bows are tied, group shot set-ups, crowd control, [...]
Family [6]
You might remember *this* family I took pictures of this past spring. Well, .5 came along to make them an official family of six so they wanted some updated pics. Four boys. All under the age of five. She’s a good woman. And, they’re a very fun family. Thanks for allowing me to view your crazy love [...]
I’m home!
Outside of a fun & easy shoot & a little editing, I slept the entire weekend and then some. I did not realize just how tired I was after the bike tour until I went to bed at 11:00 on Friday and woke up the next day at noon. And, the only reason I woke [...]
On the road… (day 4)
I know that when I heard 433.7 miles I thought, “wow”, that’s a long ride, but then you see them - mile for mile, pedaling through thunder storms as fast as they can only to be sprayed with water by the passing cars and semi-trucks. Pedaling with achy knees, tight muscles and sore throats. Pedaling up [...]
On the road… (day 2)
Nerves were high. Adrenaline was pumping. Bikers were suited up and ready to go. Tennessee Highway Patrol was on duty, ready to escort the men and women giving up their week to bike across the state. Monday was filled to the brim with bright sunny, rays of sunshine, puffy white clouds and temperatures that left [...]
a ditz, a love shoot & a good cause
I called Emily (my best friend & ass.) Thursday night from the Atlanta airport in a total panic. My Starbuck’s grande, decaf, skinny, no whip, cafe’ mocha didn’t look all that appealing after my goose bumps turned to sweatiness in a moment’s time. My flight to Memphis had left without me (or I had stopped [...]
California Shoot #1
The mood was light. The day was perfect. The sun shining bright. We met at Vasona, a park I’ve come to love because I’ve done 90% of my California shoots there. You really can’t go wrong. And, even more so with two beautiful, full of life children. It was a good day for a photographer.
Dear [...]
