Earlier this month, I’d spotted a story over on NPR that caught my attention: A query to submit your photos of women who inspire you in honor of March being Women’s History Month.
I took the story as a prompt to talk over here on the blog about someone who means the world to me...

Women Who Inspire: My Sister
What I’m Lovin’ Round-up: March 2011
It’s been a month filled with travel, home improvement projects and plenty to love — here’s some of it!
1) My Yes to Carrot lip butter: Sure, I’m still a Burt’s Bees girl at heart, but I have a few tubes of the Yes to Carrot stuff floating around the house, including the office, so it’s...
Mallory: 7 Months
It’s been SO fun to edit these images over the past few days; seeing my best friend radiant as a new mother with her cute-as-can-be daughter is as much a gift to me as giving these images is to her. When you have people you love in your life, you love seeing them in a...
Let Mark inspire you the way he inspires us Fast Trackers
When I attended Dane Sander’s workshop out in Colorado in December 2009, I came back and started talking to people about how inspiring it was and how I’d felt included in another new photographer community. When people asked what was special about the workshop, I talked a bit about Dane’s style, about the topics we...
Ten on Tuesday: March ‘11 Edition
1. What is your cleaning style like?
Well, I’m someone who thinks cleaning is the pits (raise your hand if you join in the sentiment). But it’s a necessary evil. My motto is: “A clean house is a quiet mind.” And I truly believe in that. So my goal is to enter every weekend with a clean...
Creativity and the Unconscious
A few weeks back I read a book called “The Courage to Create” by Rollo May. At times, I was totally engrossed. At others, well, I’m not gonna lie. Rollo lost me. But those passages that had me really had me. And one of them addressed the idea of how, to be at our best...
For Japan With Love
I was in New York City last week when I heard news about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Here I’d gone to bed in my hotel room, high on the experience of having hung out with a fun group from Ball State, hob-nobbin’ with a Broadway star, and it was about 2 a.m. before...
March Self-Portrait: Navigating NYC on my own
Half-way into the month and already I’m posting a self-portrait? Consider March my “On-Top-Of-It” month then! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make this month’s photo happen during my visit to New York City last week. I was there for my day job (I work in marketing and media relations for my alma mater,...
An afternoon in Red Rock Canyon
I’d be remiss if I didn’t wrap up last month’s trip out to Vegas with a blog post about our visit out to Red Rock Canyon. The place was so gorgeous in its desert-y kind of way. Great word, right? Desert-y. But you know what I mean — giant rocks everywhere, yucca plants, that baked...
Mallory: Sneak Peek
Over the weekend, when I wasn’t inhaling paint fumes (our living room painting project is in progress), I was loving on my best friend’s little baby girl, Mallory. Tracy is my go-to girl and I adore capturing every milestone in this little lovie’s life (from in the womb to newborn to now). We had planned...
