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...

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...
#49) Attend WPPI (and a recap!)
#49) Attend WPPI
Oh my…it’s not too late to post up a recap of my WPPI experience is it? I figured if I don’t do it now, then it’ll be 2012 already and I’ll be packing my bags for the next one! Whew…bare with me folks, it has been a whirlwind of activity since getting back...
The power of workshops

About six months after I came back in 2009 from attending Melissa Jill’s MJ 2 Day Workshop (an experience I blogged about here), I had someone email me the following:
I just recently discovered your blog and I think it’s great! I started from the beginning of your archives to present. I...
New images, same fresh lookin’ Web site
I’ll be honest and say I’m like a lot of other photographers out there who build a Web site. And then, once it’s built, promptly forget about it. Kind of like, “It’s there now, so I can let it be, right?” Which is so silly of me to think, but it’s easy to let the...
The hours of my day
I spend so many months of the year working and dreaming about this particular season. When life slows down and I’m cooped inside because there’s four inches of snow on the ground and being outdoors is miserable. It’s a summer conversation that plays out in my head when I’m neck deep in editing and have...
WPPI 2011: I’m going. Are you going? Let’s meet!
If you’re a photographer who’s been active in the industry for a while, chances are you’re familiar with WPPI. It’s the biggest convention and trade show for photographers in the industry and, for the past few years, I’ve sat sidelined, feeling a bit like the one person on the planet who didn’t make it to...
How Facebook corralled me into creating a fan page
For a long time now I’ve been comfortable posting my photography work to my personal Facebook page. I didn’t want to create a business page because a) it’d be one more thing for me to update and b) who isn’t a smidge annoyed by all the random messages they get from people they don’t know...
The proof I needed …
For most of my weddings, I’m hired as a one-gal show. If I do have someone accompany me, it’s in the role of assistant, never a second shooter. That all changed earlier this month when Courtney Reece accompanied me as second shooter to my most recent wedding. You know how people always talk about how...

Photographers, if you’re unfamiliar with this Web site, it’s a GREAT resource for collecting ideas and vendor options for marketing material for your work. Robyn does an amazing job of making this site fun, fresh and relevant and it’s definitely one...
