A couple weeks ago, during a gloriously, warm October day I ventured out to get some pictures of the last fall flowers. For Columbus, Ohio locals, Inniswood Park is always my “go-to” flower park when I’m gettin’ the feelin’ for nature shots. That day, I got some other friends within the flowers … All pictures […]
As I recap the summer I’m bringing up an old poem of mine, one that is even more appropriate today as it was when I wrote it 2 years ago. The words, “My beloved Summer full of new and strange adventures” bring all kinds of new meanings now. This last summer was the most traveled […]
A couple weeks ago I ended a “bucket list” trip with my husband, Eric. There were no kids, just us, and the open road to see mountains, red painted cliffs, sagebrush for miles and the driest heat I’ve felt in years. First we went to California for his mother’s 80’s birthday and to see the […]
About a year ago, sometime wasting time on Instagram, I started to see a trend pop up. And it seemed to be a coincidence (or maybe my phone was now able to hack my own thoughts) because I was just starting to take my film cameras off the shelves again. I was seeing all these […]

I just love the long and soft shadows that envelope the house on bright, sunny mornings because the shadows project interesting illustrations onto the walls in a burst of reds, oranges, yellows and blues. The soothing light breaks the routine of making school lunches and waking up bleary-eyed children because it makes me pause; makes […]
As anybody close to me knows, I’m not a morning person and most definitely on the weekends. So when I decided one cold day to get up early and get downtown before the sunrise to take pictures on a Saturday morning, I thought there might be something wrong with me. Has it turned out, leaving […]
Over the last ten weeks I have been taking a digital photography class at the local art college, Columbus College of Art and Design. Considering I already have my B.A. in Visual Arts and I take photographs all the time, some have asked, “Why do you need a photography class?” Well, simply, I wanted the […]
The yard can look pretty and inviting when it’s blanketed with sparkly crystals all over the place, but I hope these are the last photographs of snow until December! Also photographs shot with Canon Rebel xsi / Canon EF Lens 50mm
