Jane Wayne rides again
Made a new best friend today and her name is Rose. She’s my new best friend because she took good care of my mama, aka Jane Wayne. Mom hadn’t ridden a horse in years but had never given up the dream of riding again. One reason Rose is so wonderful is that she is well cared for by her true best friends, Ethan and…
Walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers
I don’t have much of a story to tell you today, but I wanted to share some of the details I spotted at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin. Just pretend you’re strolling slowly along the trails with my mom, dad and me. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you, Lady Bird! Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so…
Sunrise Alleluia
Is every sunrise this breathtakingly gorgeous? I wouldn’t know because I typically sleep right through them. Today I was up, though. I was with my Friends at Surfside Beach, remembering that the tomb is empty and giving thanks for the great love of the Father. Taking photos had not been part of the plan so my camera was left at home. Who knew THIS…
One Wonderfully Made Day
Each day tells a new story in the book that is your life. Some of the stories are joyous, some are bittersweet, and some are comfortingly uneventful. Do you keep mental snapshots of those days? Would you like to also have photographs that document your stories? One Wonderfully Made Day is a different kind of portrait session – one that aims to observe and…
Every now and then
I don’t know about you, but every now and then I just have to take a break from my daily routine. Every now and then I need to stop looking at people through my camera lens and instead look at … not people. Every now and then I just need to wander around noticing lines and rust and shadows. Every now and then it…
Countdown to New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve 2013 was a momentous occasion for a couple of reasons. First, The Oh Hellos had their biggest show so far. The sound check alone was pretty overwhelming … … but the final hours before the band took the stage required even more fortitude to endure. What better way to pass the time than some singing and joking around? You can listen…
Telluride
I took an awful lot of photos on my Colorado trip. This is not the least bit surprising, just overwhelming. Because why take photos if I never look at them again? And why look at them without also sharing them? And why share them without carefully selecting the ones I think you’ll enjoy the most? And why share only a few when I can…
On the road again with The Oh Hellos
I’m traveling around Colorado with my favorite band again! The Oh Hellos played a show at Telluride’s Sheridan Opera House last night, and what a terrific old venue it was. So many gorgeous details that took me right back in time. See that small set of box seats? The outside corner seat was my vantage point for the show. I thought surely Mr. and…
Fair Week Mini-Sessions
You may not know this, but you WANT me to come out to the Fairgrounds with you next week and take photos of you. Families, kids, Class of 2014 seniors, golden years seniors, couples, brides, ladies in fancy dresses, guys in boots and 10-gallon hats — the Fair makes the perfect backdrop for all sorts of great photos. Take, for instance, these fun shots…
