I belong to local photography group that consists only of women.  The members are models, photographers, makeup artists.  The group was started as a safe space for women creatives because of prior bad experiences with male photographers.  I was a member before leaving the Phoenix area.  Since then, there are groups literally all over the […]

Sometimes you have to pivot your plans. That’s what happened with this rainy day photo shoot.

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 […]
