"Whoa! That's so cool," my kids gasped, breathless in their excitement as they saw the colors stream through my camera lens. What looked to be a faint line of pink quickly burst into a blend of dark pink, purple, blue, and green. Photography is magic.The human eye is fairly weak, really. We're just not equipped to see the variations and brilliance in night light with our own eyes (one of the reasons I thank my camera after every shoot). Magical, ethereal, something other worldly -- ways I could ... VIEW POST
Photography is magic
Suffragettes, skeletons, and the sisterhood
A handful of weeks ago, I thought about writing this post - and I want to add that it also had a great title at the time (I specifically remember thinking, "WOW, that's a BOMB title!"). As it happens, I can't recall it (*pulls out hair in frustration*) and this post remains title-less until it comes to me (and it probably will in a nightmare at 3 AM). It's no surprise to anyone that election season is upon us. From yard signs to commercials, robocalls to door-knockers, endless mailings to ... VIEW POST
Learning to appreciate nature and its gifts
"Autumn's Fire" fine art print available hereLeaf peeping is at its height here in the mountains of Colorado and I feel like there is a renewed interest in learning to appreciate nature and its gifts. We were lucky to be able to drive up Guanella Pass -- one of the most popular aspen-viewing drives that begins just outside of Georgetown.

Weekly Seasonal FavoritesThe Sleepy Hollow collection speaks to my moody, spooky-loving heart. I was thrilled to provide product photos for this collection and have put together my top picks ...

Your soul deserves to be on fire
Recently, I scrolled upon a GIF that said, "Forget about being cool. I want to be so kind that it freaks people out."I thought, "SAME." Then, I thought about all the time I spent trying to be cool, imagining myself as the cool kid, pretending that I was someone else that was cool, practicing being cool in the mirror (damn, it was cringe), and in doing so, *not* being kind OR cool... It was a lot of time, to be honest, and I regret it. I massively regret it. All of that time led to years of ... VIEW POST
Bare Feet & Dirty Hands
Sometimes, writing comes easily -- words flowing fast and violent like white water rapids, almost too quickly that they're overwhelming. Then there are times that it's a struggle -- as if I have to coax them out from murky depths somewhere deep inside the recesses of my brain. Rarely is there an in-between. Either I'm overcome with words or I'm lost for words. It's the reality of riding the waves of inspiration followed by dry spells, burying myself in my journals whenever I feel the pull. ... VIEW POST
