Happy Flying! This little guy sure loves to soar. You can see joy in his eyes and the smile on his face. This photo was created as part of a new service I’m offering called Capturing Keepsakes. Think of it as portraits for a most cherished child’s toy or prized family heirloom. Head on…… Continue reading Happy Flying

A Family Portrait
Well, the day is here. Day 365. What better way to finish a year of photos, than with a family portrait. These two are the reason I do what I do. I live for them and love them both unconditionally. Without their support, there is no way I would have ever completed this project. In…… Continue reading A Family Portrait
Superman and the Big Hill
To get to the best picnic spot in the park, little superman decided to walk up the big hill instead of fly. Of course, he also decided to roll down. Of all the shots I took over the Labor Day weekend, this is one of my favorites. My son, in his superman sweatshirt with…… Continue reading Superman and the Big Hill
Our Little Cookie Monster
This is our beautiful little cookie monster. As I start the countdown of the last 30 days of my 365 project, I want to revisit some themes from the past year. Of course, my son has been a big part of the challenge. His imagination, the way he sees the world, and his joy in discovering…everything, has…… Continue reading Our Little Cookie Monster
Monkey See Monkey Do

Are you looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop? Most of the images from this project are available…… Continue reading Monkey See Monkey Do
Water Flower
It’s amazing how beautiful a single flower floating in a water filled glass bowl can be. I found this blossom on a cafe table in one of our local markets. I quickly stopped to take the shot and went on with my shopping. It was only when I got back home that I realized I…… Continue reading Water Flower
Tunnel of Fun
How many times did my son climb up and down this tunnel of fun at the local church playground? Way too many to count. But I’m not complaining. I could sit and watch (and photograph!) him running, sliding, climbing, laughing, and playing all day and all night. For this shot, he stopped moving long enough…… Continue reading Tunnel of Fun
Big Shoes to Fill
Here are some big shoes to fill. Along with a few pair of my son’s small shoes. These were lined up in the kitchen near our backdoor and I just loved it! It’s like a family portrait in shoes because it represents they way we are – close, together all the time, and mostly happy & carefree (barefoot!). And out of…… Continue reading Big Shoes to Fill
Go For a Spin
Anyone want to go for a spin? Normally, I would answer this question with a yes! However, at a neighborhood carnival, I would have to pass. I love watching the rides twist and turn with the flashing lights and glowing neon. But my inner ear, stomach, and I have an understanding – everything will be…… Continue reading Go For a Spin
A Night at the Carnival
We spent a day and a night at the carnival. And even at 48 years old, I feel like a kid, wide-eyed and excited about the rides, the food, the sights, sounds, and smells. Of course, now that I am an adult, I also get excited about the music and the, shall we say, refreshments.…… Continue reading A Night at the Carnival
Paint Me a Blue Sky
“Paint me a blue sky. May the colors run true. That I may look to the Heavens, when I search for the truth.” –Ian Moore , “Blue Sky” from his debut album. I thought with all of the craziness going on in the world today, what everyone needed was a big, bright, happy expanse of sky.…… Continue reading Paint Me a Blue Sky
Spring Blossom
One of the challenges of shooting Spring flowers is trying to create something unique so that the blossom stands out from the millions of other flower photographs that out there. And really that should be the goal of any artist – to stand out from the crowd. To create something from the soul that will draw the viewer in and…… Continue reading Spring Blossom
