    It’s All About Color

    Over Valentine’s Day weekend, my hubby planned an action packed photo-focused getaway, and the final stop of the excursion was the Tampa Bay Chocolate Festival! I mean, what gal doesn’t want chocolate on Valentine’s Day? And without a doubt the word of the day was COLOR! With so many food trucks and vendors to explore,…

    Perfection is Boring

    This photo is full of story. Everything about it screams look at me! This was my first Food Truck Rally I’ve had the opportunity to shoot, and while I did get some great shots, this one may be my favorite from the night. As a writer, I want to tell this gal’s story. Why did…

    Diary of a Bad Writer: Marginalia

    Have you ever picked up a book only to find – gasp – the pages littered with random scribblings! If marginalia is a pet peeve of yours, then please don’t ask to borrow one of my books – especially any from my lit classes. Even my Bible is written in. Yes, I am one of…

    #NationalDonorDay

    Serendipitous. That’s what I should name this shot. My hubby and I had planned for weeks to shoot the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa, and on Valentines Day we made it happen. While every other couple I know was enjoying a romantic dinner or a fun date night, my Valentine took me to both the…

    No Filter

    I never leave home unprepared. My dinner date with the hubs and my son turned into a restaurant photography session. We were tucked into a sweet little alcove booth, and my eyes kept going to the couple across the way. They were so sweet, talking, smiling, touching each other – just small tiny actions filled…

    Whatever Happened To…

    Have you ever taken a photo and wondered – what’s the story? Or in this particular case – was it really forever? Okay Timmy and Missy, what are you two love birds up to today? It’s been said that a picture is worth a thousand words (cliche right?), but that’s what I love so much…

    A New Year means a fresh start, right? But what about all the things sitting in the hopper waiting on an edit?
