I’ve always been impressed with photographers who tackle “365 Days of Self-Portraits” projects. One of my favorite photographers to do this is a woman I found on Flickr years ago by the name of Lauren Rosenbaum. I don’t know this gal, I don’t think she has a blog, I’ve never tried to contact her before,...

What I’m Lovin’ Round-up: Take 1
When I started a section on my blog called “I really love,” I thought I’d document one thing I love per post. (You know, maybe a book or a movie, or some pair of earrings I loved so much they hadn’t left my lobes in weeks.) Then I realized, over time, that a lot of...
Honey … I can’t find my wedding ring
It happened last week. Nick came to me with a sheepish look on his face, professing he couldn’t find his wedding ring.
My response was something along the lines of “Excccuuusssee me?” Or maybe it was a dirty glare. Yeah, I think it was the glare. But to be fair, well, I should have been more...
Just call us the Gilmore Girls…
I’d be here at my computer until tomorrow if you asked me to list all the things I love about my photo BFF, Betsy King. She’s a busy mama of an adorable tot with another one on the way, so it’s not always easy for us to get together. Which is probably why, when we...
How (but more importantly, why) I got started in photography
I remember it like it was yesterday. Falling asleep the night of my wedding happier than I thought it was possible a person could be. Beside me was my best friend, my HUSBAND (the first few times you say that is so surreal!) and in my mind what exactly did I remember about my wedding...
I be up in B&N just working on my bizness …
So the POINT of this blog entry (aside from setting up a Fergie song that may get stuck in your head the way it’s stuck in mine – THANK YOU FOR THAT EARWORM MR. LOCAL DJ) is to talk about books. Specifically BUSINESS BOOKS.
Here’s the funny thing: In all the bookstores I’ve been to (a...
Forget Team Edward, I’m Team Nick
If you follow me on Twitter, you might have caught a tweet I made shortly before Christmas about having a certain little something wrapped under my tree from “Vampire Nick.” I was, of course, instantly amused and curious as well.
I opened my main gift from Nick first (an awesome Flip video camera I’ve been playing...
30 Hours to Recharge
They say the first step in treating an addiction is self-admission, right? Well if that’s true, here goes Internet: I AM ADDICTED TO MY PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS.
I’m fully aware this problem plagues ALL small business owners. And since I’m the full-admission type, I’m OK with being one of the ones who puts those seven words...
2009 in Review
I realize I’m getting this review of my year out there late. But better late than never, right? Thankfully, (though perhaps it should be), improving on my punctuality was not one of my resolutions for 2010.
Here’s the thing: These year-end lists? They can consume photographers’ brains. We’re all, “I should do a montage of...
Favorite Music Finds of ‘09
I pretty much shout from the mountain tops I’m addicted to music. Last year, I took to the blog to talk about some of my favorite tunes of ‘08, and I decided (that’s right, it’s my blog, I can do this kinda stuff if I wanna ) to make it an annual thing.
So...
