Garden Rose Bouquet
Currently flowers seem to be in abundance in my life and it is reminding me of a time when I was somewhat newly married and wasn’t a mom yet. I worked part time at a professional photo lab and the other days I tended to house tasks with weekends saved for portrait sessions and weddings. I would bring home flowers…

First Floral Bouquet Shoot of 2026
2026 is off to a very good start! Apparently I haven’t photographed a bouquet of flowers in the studio since 2023 (I’ve done many single stems) and I’ve already done 2 different bouquets with one waiting. The nearby Trader Joe’s floral department is definitely helping this cause. My husband has quickly figured out that we can not go there and…

Goal for 2026
Making prints more consistently of my photography is a goal of mine this year. I use to do this all the time but when my Canon Pro printer died on me a couple of years ago, and I didn’t have the funds to replace it for awhile, I got out of the habit. The convenience factor of being able to…

#Unfolio – Final Thoughts

#Unfolio – Week 3

On one side I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing these images and the why I took them without comparing them with what I consider my portfolio work. It’s felt…

#Unfolio – Week 2
Week two of #unfolio is going strong and I finally shared an image I’ve been sitting on since last May, the woman painting in the botanic gardens. I don’t typically take photos of strangers in public but this moment made me stop and photograph her. I never planned to share it because it doesn’t fall in line with what I…

#Unfolio – Week 1
It all started when I decided to only share flower images on social media for the entire month of February. Every single day (all 28 days) I posted a flower from my portfolio. The exercise in having a theme for the month was very enjoyable. I found it calming to know what I was going to post and I enjoyed…

January Notes
Everything in the garden is resting. The only green I see are the juniper trees standing tall in the low sunlight, the very few boxwoods peeking out from the mulch, and the amazing pincushion plants that somehow keep their green leaves during the coldest time of year. I start to grow tired of the brown that surrounds us here in…
