This past Friday, my son’s school had a Mother/Son Mystery Dinner. Past years they had an actual dance where the boys and moms had to dress up and dance. This year they decided to do something a little different. A … Continue reading
Ok, you’re probably wondering what the title of this post is all about. Well, no I didn’t photograph any sharks (darn), nor did I get anywhere near any sharks to photograph them. One of my sisters appeared on the ABC show Shark Tank this past Friday (2/24)! It was so exciting to see her on TV. If you didn’t see it, I provided the link to the site in case you’re interested. Her name is Raven Thomas and she’s the second entrepreneur that comes on.
First of all, Raven’s pretzels are the bomb! They are chocolate covered pretzels with a variety of toppings like Oreo, M&Ms, Snickers, white chocolate, almonds, and the list goes on and on. Please check out her website, The Painted Pretzel. You may think I’m biased, but her pretzels are truly wonderful. Give them a try. I’m sure you’ll like them!

Last month I photographed a rather large family. My client had her parents and her siblings and their families over for the holidays and wanted family portraits taken. It’s not very often that they get together, so being in the … Continue reading

On the last day of last year, I had my very last session for that year. I thought it was a great way to end my year. I had the good fortune of photographing a beautiful family out in Loganville. … Continue reading
During January 14-17 I attended Imaging USA. It was excellent! For those of you who are not familiar with Imaging, it is an annual photography conference that offers workshops and an expo for all things photographic. This year it was held in New Orleans. This was my first time visiting New Orleans and I had a great time. I didn’t get to eat as much New Orleans food as I wanted, but what I did have was more than worth the wait….mmmmmm, shrimp and grits in étouffée sauce! If you make it to New Orleans, please go to Mia’s Balcony on St. Charles Avenue. You will not regret it!
We (my good friend and fellow photog Kim, who flew down and met me there) stayed in a small, historical hotel in the Garden District, not too far from the conference center. Every morning we would wake up and walk to the convention center. Talk about getting the blood flowing! The workshops started at 7:00 a.m., so we were up and out early. We also walked to lunch and walked back to the hotel at the end of each day. Boy did we get our exercise in! One night while walking back to the hotel after the convention party, we witnessed an interesting (for lack of a better word) sight. I can’t really go into it since this is a PG post, but I will tell you it was of an adult nature. I’m sure you can come up with an idea of what we saw.
The workshops were fabulous and have given me so many new ideas that have re-energized me. I can’t wait to share my ideas with you in the coming weeks and months. I’ll have special offers and brand new products. If you are signed up for my monthly newsletter or “like” my page on FaceBook, you’ll be receiving some information this week. If you are not, then maybe you should. I’d love to connect with you.

Happy New Year! Yes, it’s another year and a clean start for many. I can’t wait to have my first session of the year! My last session was actually on the 31st, so that was an excellent way for me to end last year. The chance to create beautiful images for others is my passion and I can’t wait to get started.
Have you made a New Year’s resolution? I did, but mine is the same every year. My resolution is to be happy. That’s it. No, I don’t need to lose weight. I don’t need to find a new job, I just want to continue to be happy. I think that’s pretty simple and if you know how, easy to do as well. I already do what I love for a living. I have a wonderful son and husband and yes, we even have a great dog. All of our needs are met and even some of our wants and my family and friends are happy and healthy, as are we. What more could I ask for?
So, do you have any resolutions for this year? If so, I’d like to read them. Just drop me a line on this blog or on my Facebook page. My next blog will be of one of my last sessions, so stay tuned.

Lately I’ve been photographing lots of babies. That is definitely a good thing. They are so cute and little. When they yawn it’s one of the most precious things to see and of course when they are sleeping. I love … Continue reading

Ever been to someone’s home or some other place where elaborate desserts were on display and you thought “That looks too pretty to eat.”? Well that is exactly what I experience every time I photograph for any PattyCakes’ Cake Competition. … Continue reading
