This month has been such a busy but fun one for us, in part because Emily had a break midway through the month. We’d been hoping to go to Disneyland over the break, but between being uncertain about how much walking I could do on my knee yet and hearing from a friend that several […]

I have always loved that my birthday is in March, because in March in California the flowers really start to bloom; life is crisp and bright and cheerful. Oh, and there’s Pi. ;-P This month Tom and I had a wonderful date wine tasting in a whole new area (this is just an iPhone selfie): […]

    Loved that you used your iPhone for some of the images this month. I always hate my iPhone pictures and am so jelly when people get such good images. The flowers are so beautiful.ReplyCancel

A few years ago for my birthday, I embarked on a project where I come up with 101 long(ish)-term goals that I would like to accomplish within the next 1001 days. I loved it, because it made me feel a bit more accountable with regards to actually doing the things I wanted to get done. […]

My 2015 P52 continues! Week 5 ~ This week was Superbowl Sunday, and every year for Superbowl we each get to pick one savory snack, one sweet snack, and one drink: no holds barred, calories be darned. And when we have company for the big game, they get to do the same—so there’s always a […]

This month I decided my “gratefulness” theme was going to be love. And I couldn’t decide what to shoot (had a few ideas that I just couldn’t make work despite my best efforts), so Emily helped me brainstorm. I wanted to use pink for Valentine’s Day, so we settled on using a mask we’d found […]

    Jessica, it hasn’t been so long that I’ve seen a portrait of your daughter- maybe the San Fran trip, but I can’t believe how grown up she is looking! She is so beautiful, as always. Love this pink mask, too!ReplyCancel

I think one of my favorite “photography” things to do is completing a 52-week project. I would love to be able to do a 365 (a photo a day for a year), but I find the thought of that completely overwhelming—so I like to do this, instead. At the end of the year, I have […]

The newest in my Tutorial series, shooting water droplets! It’s a really fun way to play around when you’re stuck inside during these cold winter days! I shot these images a long time ago, and I had used my trusty Canon 40D with the 70-300 variable-aperture lens and my 430EX speedlight set in automatic mode. […]
