Snow hit Portland, Oregon this winter and crescendo-ed with a storm snow accumulation of 8-12 inches and it is still here almost a week later. The last time this happened was eight years ago, so I have made sure to capture as much as I could to make up for lost time. At the time … Continue reading Snow in Portland (part 1)
Christmas Light Bokeh
I played with Christmas lights over the course of 3 different sessions with my kids. Using the lights in different ways, putting tinsel in front of the lens, using creative aperture with Lensbaby double glass optic, taking pictures from outside, looking in, letting the foggy window create foggy images. It was a lot … Continue reading Christmas Light Bokeh
Snow Flakes
During our short freeze we had a little snow on top of ice and I found some intact snowflakes. I have not yet mastered being able to photograph snowflakes as I would like, yet, for there are so few opportunities to practice, but here is my second attempt. The first one was last year. I … Continue reading Snow Flakes

Frost in Portland
When it does not happen often, you appreciate it when it does. The beauty of how frost outlines the leaves especially grabs me this year. Three days of winter weather here in PDX. Our days of frost, then snow, and then ice. This is the day of frost.

The makeup artists, costumes, … Continue reading Creepy Halloween Shoots

This is my first attempt at underwater photography. And I am IN LOVE with it. Everything that makes photography magical. Light, motion, emotion, surprises. Pure magic.
Misty Spiderwebs Foggy Morning
I wonder if something magical happens on a foggy morning before most people are awake. On Saturday, the fog beckoned me into its mystique. I rushed outside. I had a busy day ahead, but I did not want to miss the fog. The fog was amazing, but what I did not expect to see was … Continue reading Misty Spiderwebs Foggy Morning
Lensbaby
Some of my favorite lensbaby images. I am participating in 30 days of Lensbababy on 365project.org so I thought I would share some of my favorite images I've taken this past year or so.
