Viva Las Vegas

Were back!!!
Tutt and I went to the DWF convention/conference/party/ all around good time! We learned a lot about every aspect of how to make our business and more importantly our art stronger and more "us". I have decided to shoot black and white film again, HURRAY, change the website and really create the beautiful work I love. Thanks to the Boutwells, and John Micheal Cooper of Alt F, I have given myself the permission to be me. (sometimes the simplest lessons are the most difficult to learn)
So who wins from all of this? well you do, my clients, my friends and my family all will be happier and prouder of the work they show off! and i will be prouder and more comfortable in my own skin. with tutt by my side we are pleased to serve you with our art and service.
thank you so much for the lovin...

peace

everyone erin...erin, everyone...

hello all,

today was beautiful here, I got to play with my client, friend and after dinner recently therapist Erin. She is so cool, we had a blast playing in the park. Erin hired me a s a stranger to shoot some head shots to promote her opera career, by the time we were done we were friends and making plans to hang out and chat about all things life together.

What a gift my job is... create art and make friends!

life is good.

The Megibows

The Megibow's are close and dear to my heart, they were my first clients when Happenstance first started and after a long struggle baby Jake was born.

It has been my true pleasure and honor to know and watch this family grow and photograph them along the way!

Here are a few of my favorite images...

my first blog!!

Hello and welcome to my first blog!

Why blog you might ask...I don't really know. I am jumping on the band wagon and let's hope I don't break anything. Also because I like the idea of having a daily(or so) journal. I always loved it when I allowe myself the time to stop and write in my childhood journals about my latest dreams and the new loves of my life, and the very serious and important drama of childhood, I guess this is my attempt at achieving the same thing well without all of the drama. No worries though I will always include my latest dreams and crushes.

Now I don't have exceptional grammar and I don't have the same eloquence and skills that my mom and hubby have but I will do my best. I will post my most recent work, thoughts and discoveries sharing them with you and hoping you enjoy them.

Please feel free to comment, barf or contemplate my postings but remember the old saying "if you don't have anything nice to say..."

The following images are that of my family... enjoy

Leah, Kash, Teagan and Kelly ... they are best friends and cousins by love

This my favorite image of my best friend as Meredeth Grey says "my person" she and her son Teagan have a breathtakingly fragile strength.

Thank you for visiting my blog...photography is my passion.

peace.
