Earlier this year, Target carried this “Little House on the Prairie” type dresses.  Lots of people, including myself, thought that it was a joke.  I mean, really?  Who would wear something so ugly on purpose?  Some people decided to have photo sessions, and labeled them the “Target Ugly Dress Challenge”.  I liked the idea, and […]

The beginning of 2021 was hectic!  We came to the realization late in 2020 that my mother-in-law would need to live with us on a permanent basis.  The reality was hard to take.  Creatively, I wasn’t photographing anyone outside of myself, my mother-in-law, products, or food.  I needed to create an image that could be included at my exhibit […]

Blog post about my session at the Charmed Gardens Greenhouse

Have you ever been inspired by a song, article of clothing, or an event?  This usually happens for me when I think of a person project.  For this particular session, I was inspired by a dress.   I follow Raw Golden Rentals on Instagram.  I’m not sure how I found her page, but I am so glad that I did!  While I […]

On the last Saturday in September, I had a photo shoot in Downtown Round Rock, Texas.  The session was scheduled earlier in the week because I needed to shoot.  I have a session scheduled for October, but I needed to get behind the lens before that date.  I had a t-shirt that I purchased from Banana Republic which […]

Fall has arrived in Central Texas.  The mornings are cooler, and there’s less humidity.  The time for sweaters and boots is fast approaching, and I am here for it.  Experiencing some semblance of fall weather is one of the things that I enjoy about living in here.  I’ve been able to wear sweaters and boots longer.  However, with COVID-19 still […]

Last weekend, I created some of my favorite images of 2020!   Since my Concrete Valkyrie session was successful, and a number of models wanted to be part of it, I decided to do another session.  I wanted it to be different from the concrete session, and knew that the session would be held in a park.  I scouted […]
