One Sunflower, a Camera, and Time in the Studio
One sunflower, a camera, and time in the studio. That really is all I need to supercharge the desire to make a little bit of art. Photographing flower portraits (if you will) is my life long passion project. Taking blooms and truly spending time observing their beauty and uniqueness brings an immense amount of joy to me. The process takes…

The Month I Want to Slow Down
It’s October 1st and it doesn’t feel like it should be. For me, August and September are filled with so many activities and tasks that they go by quicker than I can even begin to try to enjoy them. There’s harvesting needing done from the garden, unfinished garden projects that need completed before our first freeze arrives, and then of…

2026 Camp Heirloom
As I come out of the fog of a crazy humid, hot and busy market weekend, all I can think about is how thankful I am for being able to be part of this for 10 years. It started small, hosted on a farm and no one had any experience, to now being held in a city venue with over…

Lost Canyon Ranch
Our family loves to go hiking together along the many available trails in our area. It’s not only a chance for us to get out together and be outside with our attention focused on something other than our phones or work, but it’s also a chance for me personally to take photos. There is nothing that I love more than…

How I Make Photography Prints
Prints have traditionally always been part of the photography process. Negatives were always meant to be made into prints that could be held and displayed. Digital photography has sort of lead us away from prints. We get instant gratification after we take the shot and once it is shared online there is almost no need to have prints made. I…
