It snowed yesterday. At least where I was. It was wonderfully, thick and sloppy and sticky … and beautiful. Canon 40D, 50 mm lens, 1/320, f/2.0, ISO 200. Edited tweaking PW Action Set Vintage. Also, Merry Christmas from my little ro.fam! We had fun making a mini photobooth out of my living room. We just...
I very much enjoyed my whirlwind trip to Colorado back in November. In a 4 day time span I flew to Denver, took super fun photos of some of my most favorite people, took those same super fun people to watch the Women’s Flat Track Derby Championships LIVE, went skiing at A-Basin, and then flew...
Who doesn’t remember the great Tara Whitney 9 – 20x20s with the IKEA clip frames? And then who else bemoaned the fact that IKEA no longer sold those beautiful frames? When I finally had an excuse to frame 20×20 prints for Muncie’s October ArtsWalk, I desperately began searching for large format clip frames and at...
On my way back from a photo session the other night I drove by a field of gold. Now I’m giving away a little fact that I have very little country girl in me. In fact, I am allergic to almost all things country-living related. But it doesn’t stop me from thinking it’s beautiful. Even...
I’m a journalist at heart. I was the yearbook editor in high school. I went to school for journalism graphics (with the emphasis on writing, editing and design). After years of working as a graphic designer, I am now a photographer with a flare for photo-journalistic style. All to say, I felt my roots yesterday as I...
Welcome back golden hour of sunlight … ^^Tommy just finished reading The Tale of Despereaux, and now it’s my turn.^^ And you can almost guarantee that if you’re a chubby baby, bathed in dirt and a soggy diaper standing in my driveway at the golden hour of sunlight, your photo will be taken. Thanks...

There’s just something about this image that, try as I might, I cannot put into words. But I like it. And I guess that’s good enough. I see peace. I see trust. I see love. I see a moment in time where the light and breeze and the great, blue water were just perfect. I feel...
My friend Amy and I have shared a lot of great memories together. One that tops the list is the 6 weeks we spent together in Torino, Italy. Each week we got one full day off to explore, but for one weekend out of the 6 weeks we had a full 2-day weekend. It was...

Sometimes it can be pretty overwhelming to document a vacation. Especially when you’re as behind as I am at documenting life in general. At times like this I like to work backwards, or post the prettiest images first. Whichever is most motivating. The first part of our vacation was spent chilling with friends at the...

Two years ago, I wrote this over on the ro.fam blog. After a week off the computer I’d probably write the exact same thing. So if you’re interested in what I learned during Turn Off The Screen Week, then please feel free to head on over there and read on. During my time off, I...
Another year into my 30s, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a brand new day. It’s a brand new year. Anything can happen. Such as: My Murse graduating in a few short weeks. Tommy finishing up first grade. And a lot of unknowns and adventures. Today to celebrate 34 I began the morning with birthday...

The same day that Tommy took this photo of me (on the ro.fam blog), he also took all of these: His assignment? Detail shots. I think he nailed it. (from left to right: dusty garage floor streaked by a broom, broom, mark’s jeans, me waving hi, tree, leaf, louie on scooter, aztec tire) Two of...
A couple things I forgot how much I loved: Sitting in a quiet, almost empty, very comfortable and roomy coffee shop Reading a good book Enjoying my new favorite coffee shop drink — soy hot chocolate And taking photos of these things. … oh and all by myself so I could actually hear my heart...
