Composite and Painting
I am working on some new skills. Compositing, painting with photoshop brushes, and using Ipad apps for more creative options. Here is a major experiment photo-painting inspired by the group How We Grow Our Food. I wanted to include a cow/milk/barn. I love old barns, and couldn't resist including one in this painting. The first … Continue reading Composite and Painting
Neowise Comet: Summer 2020
It was about six years ago I began this blog with the very first pictures I took as I was learning manual control on my Nikon dslr. I blogged for awhile and then got busy with the kids' school. We joined a homeschool charter and I became a "driver" back and forth to school several … Continue reading Neowise Comet: Summer 2020

We finally ventured out for a drive and saw so many trees/branches down, and a couple precarious power lines. One a live … Continue reading Snow, Ice, and Keeping Warm

She is one of the strongest people I know. I wanted so much to capture her with her family; I feel grateful … Continue reading Family Session at Sunset
Lady of the Lake
Hayley and I planned for two months for this photo shoot. Finding a location proved to be much harder than I thought. Who would have thought it would be hard to find a body of water with clear enough water in Oregon that wasn't also freezing cold or too far for us to meet? I … Continue reading Lady of the Lake
Fourth of July 2017
We had an all around good day this year which is a rare day when things go well the whole day. My father is visiting from NH so we were able to celebrate the day with him which definitely made it even more special. It was a day of eating and fun. We had a … Continue reading Fourth of July 2017
Perfect Light (April 2017) (Lensbaby edge)
I have been meaning to post these. It was a rare moment when it was just the three of us. Our older two were out doing something. I forget what now. Maybe a sleepover. We decided to take a walk. Mike and I used to go on a lot of walks together when it was … Continue reading Perfect Light (April 2017) (Lensbaby edge)
