Old Friends
Last week one of my oldest friends, Nicole, came to visit from all the way across the country. We first met on day one of 8th grade and quickly discovered we were both completely new to the state of Florida.…
Take the Time to Explore.
Earlier this week I had coffee with a wedding photographer in my area who I really admire, Ken Kienow. We talked for about an hour and half about all kinds of things and he was kind enough to share…

Las Vegas Desert Shoot | Destination
Ahh. The Nevada desert. About an hour outside the bustling and always busy city of Las Vegas there’s a nearly abandoned ghost town named Nelson. This was the location for an afternoon reprieve from the craziness of WPPI and a…
Making Things Happen | My Experience
Making Things Happen: Vegas. There were 30 of us in the room that day. A BIG group. I’ll admit I wasn’t thrilled about the size to start with—to me it meant a less intimate atmosphere. I shouldn’t have worried. The…
The week that made it all real. Part 2.
The story of my life-changing week in Las Vegas at WPPI, part 2, continued from Part 1: Day 3, Tuesday 2.22: The morning came far too early as my roomie, Kate, and I were up chatting ’till the sun rose. That’s…
The week that made it all real. Part 1.
One week ago yesterday I was just getting in the car to make the 7 hour trip back to Santa Barbara County from Las Vegas. I was overstimulated, under-rested but just plain happy. It’s taken me a week to gather…
Two Weeks of Transformation
Wow. It has been “all quiet on the Western {blog} front”! I may not have posted here, but “things have been happening” as Gary and I like to say :)
For the past two weeks I’ve been participating in Lara Casey’s Making Things Happen Challenges. Week one: Clear the Clutter, then week two: Get Fired Up.
I took this photo this weekend while we were away. It evokes in me feelings of calm, refreshed order. Exactly what I’ve gained from participating in these challenges…
Mama Bear Instincts
If you know me personally or have been following my blog or Tumblr you know my love for our little pup, Claire. We recently spent 3 months without her as a by-product of my hubby’s Air Force training–we weren’t permitted to bring her to live on base with us at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery because the lodging is more like a hotel or dorm style than homes for the temporary students. It made us sad to be away from her but she spent that time hanging with my parents and their Yorkie Emma and had a grand ol’ time playing/fighting constantly with “Auntie Em”…
Gowns, Parties & VEGAS
So I was feeling all stuck this morning wanting to write about something little, or my business future, or my dog . . . and then I read a tweet by Southern Weddings Magazine about Airplanes & Blazers (the black-tie…
First Visit to Santa Barbara
So this weekend was truly a get-out-and-take-pictures weekend. Saturday it was Vandenberg, then Sunday after church we drove down to Santa Barbara to meet up with Gary’s sister who lives in L.A. as it’s a sort of in-between. None of…
