Happy Leap Day!

I had an opportunity to hear an amazing woman speak last night. Annie Griffiths, one of National Geographic’s first female staff photographers, spoke at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. It was absolutely amazing to see the images she has created over the years, and hear her share the stories behind them. Even more astounding, she traveled and worked with her children. She had an energy that was captivating and a spirit for life that was very contagious. She shared so many brilliant ideas but this quote from her sums it up:

“Get out of your comfort zone.
It will all work out.
Follow your heart,
and work your little tucas off.”

So in honor of leap year, on this leap day – do something that takes you out of your comfort zone. Follow your heart and work your little tucas off. IT WILL ALL WORK OUT. Happy Leap Day!

Merry Christmas

Santa and Mrs. Claus made an unexpected appearance this year. Instead of taking Rudolph and the crew out for a spin, he hitched up Clyde and Dale – his two trusty Clydesdale horses.

A Day at the Park

A day at the park with a 1 year old certainly eliminates the need to hit the gym. Oh my. As a mom, you have to be ever vigilant with your kiddo at the park. As a photographer, you not only have to keep up with, but also stay ahead of your child at play. So many fun moments and expressions to capture – if you fall short at all the moment is lost. I was exhausted after my shoot with little B, but kept up long enough to capture him at play!

Go with the flow…..

In General, It’s good to have a game plan. Thoughts, agendas, schedules, to do lists. I generally like to have my thoughts together (it makes me look a little less flighty). But, things never seem to work out like we expect. Sometimes worse – sometimes better. This shoot was an organized one, but mother nature threw us a massive dose of winter chill and some serious wind. We could fake warm – but the wind was providing serious changes in the hair department. On our journey to find a wind free zone we stumbled along a new store and begged for reprieve. The owner was kind, and adventurous – she let us invade her space!

Lifestyle

I take a photojournalistic approach to Lifestyle photography.  To me, I want to capture and reflect true emotions.  So on my lifestyle shoots, we play – we laugh – we have fun!
