Sarahwas the second model who sat for my Spanish Harlem project.  She responded to my post in one of the local photography groups.  We scheduled to meet on August 18 in the morning.  Our session was in the same area that I photographed Diêlha.  I wanted the same theme, and I wanted to see what Sarah would bring to […]

It’s been two months since moving to Austin, and I feel as if I’m not moving forward in my business. To be frank, there are extenuating factors, and the biggest one is that we’re currently a single income family. All extraneous spending is on hold. The cost to set up an LLC. was out of the budget. I […]

One of the things that I’ve noticed in some of the photography groups where I am a member is that some of the images posted by male photographers have the female models in very sexualized positions.  These women are barely clothed, and are posed in extremely suggestive poses. It can be very discouraging and upsetting as well.  I […]

It’s been over almost two months since we moved to the Austin, Texas area, and it still feels as if we’re visiting.  I’ve met several photographers, attended a couple of group photo shoots, and explored different locations for future photo sessions.  This past weekend was another expedition session.   Initially, we were going to the Farmers’ Market in Cedar […]

We’ve been in the Austin area for a little over a month, and it still feels as if we’re visiting.  When we moved to Phoenix, I had the same feeling.  I’m not sure when the feeling dissipated.  It’s hard to describe.  You get up every day and perform daily routines, but it feels surreal. I decided to take the […]

 It’s been a month since we made the move from Arizona to Texas.  A month of learning our new town, and trying to acclimate to the humidity. After living in the desert for 14 years, this is an adjustment that’s been quite challenging.  I’ve decided to take the summer off so that I can get acclimated to […]

Empty Rooms   Last month was one for changes.  Last year, my husband and I decided that we were finally ready to leave Arizona. We were ready for a change.  When we first moved there in 2004/2005, I told my husband that I wasn’t going to spend the rest of my life in Arizona.   I knew that I wanted […]

A couple of months ago, a photographer in one of my Facebook groups put out feelers for women who would be interested in a traveling dress project.  The concept for this is one dress in multiple different photo sessions.  Each photographer would have the dress for a designated period of time, complete a photo shoot, and then […]

When I began to think about my May Personal Project, I became overwhelmed.  I had no idea what I was going to do.  In the midst of trying to decide what to do, my husband and I were packing for our move to Texas.  I became so anxious that I was paralyzed.  What would I do?  The answer came in […]

It is so important to have a professional headshot in today’s world. The new business card is your social media profile whether it’s Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook. A selfie doesn’t carry the same impact as a professional headshot. When Adrienne asked if I shot headshots, I told her absolutely! We’re part of the same social […]
