1. What did you get for Christmas?
Well, I’ve already written about what Nick got me for Christmas, courtesy (HA!) of my Pinterest board, but a few other things I got and loved: a few awesome sweaters, a new pair of cords, a set of awesome pots and pans, a panini maker (WHICH I LOVE), and...

Ten on Tuesday: January ‘12 Edition
A serendipitous cover girl
About two months ago, an associate of mine reached out, asking if I’d be willing to help find brides who would be a good fit for an article about weddings. The piece would be featured as part of an upcoming bridal guide in my city’s magazine. I was more than happy to help out and...
January Self-Portrait 2012: The Beauty in the Break
On the one hand, I want to join everyone who likes to bitch and moan about winter. “I’m so sick of this snow” and “When is it going to get warm again?” are as much a common refrain in the Werner house as any other Midwestern home this time of year.
On the other hand, I...
Where I Want to Keep the Focus in 2012
The other day, I spotted a Tweet perfect for my frame of mind: “If you don’t have time to write down your goals, where are you going to find the time to accomplish them?”
I’m a big believer in goal setting. In the knowledge (and I think there’s scientific proof to this) that when you...
2011 in Review
I thought I’d stir things up a bit with my 2011 in photos review and share a few of my most meaningful personal posts from the past year (and my apologies if you’re all, “Isn’t she celebrating 2011 a wee bit late?” … the truth is, yes, yes I am. And I’m blaming Mr. Bronchitis...
Favorite Music Finds of 2011
If you know me well enough (or, really, barely at all – haha), you know my great affinity for good books and good music. For the past four years (which, that is hard to believe!), I’ve put together a year-end list of my favorite albums. Because they’re fun to look back on, here’s my picks...
December Book Review: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
There are certain books for which you take notes as you read along. 7 Habits is one of them. In my case, a COPIOUS amount of notes (12 pages worth, I think?) There were just that many nuggets of knowledge I wanted not just to gloss over but hold on to for the months and...
On the mend….
I can’t believe it’s been nearly a week since I lasted check in on the blog! Sorry to have gone silent friends, but these past few days have been r-o-u-g-h. I managed to land both bronchitis and a sinus infection in this nasty bit of sickness going ’round and it knocked me flat. I don’t...
Best of 2011: The Favorites
I hope every photographer takes the time to compile a best-of-the-year collection of images. In doing so, you take the 20 minutes you never give yourself any other time of year to really look at all you’ve accomplished. Here I sit, having pulled together some of my favorite captures of 2011, and all I can...
