As a kid, I remember being obsessed with Spot the Difference games, published in the cartoon section of the Sunday newspaper. Yes, I was already pretty detail obsessed as a kid, and it helped develop eagle eyes which serve me well in my current career. Today, I created my own version of Spot the Difference… Read More

Finding the "I" in WPPI 2013 {thoughts from a sixth-time attendee}
Back at home. And sitting at my laptop in my dining room. One son is happily pounding away on his drum kit downstairs, while my youngest watching my iPod intently while sipping on juicebox like a little drunk man. I’m allowed to spoil them after four days of being away. And yes. It’s good to… Read More
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall! | The Beloved Collective Photography Festival
Hello Fall, Goodbye Summer! Didn’t it feel like summer 2012 just flew by? A little crazy! I just wanted to give a quick shout out to everyone. It’s been a busy summer of weddings, portraits, family camping trips and whatnot. I still got a lot on my plate and it’s one huge balancing act. When… Read More
Building a Brand | Power of Passion Workshop
I really didn’t want to let another day pass without a new blog post — I have been so neglectful! Since my last entry, I have been shooting like a madman and feel absolutely excited about what’s ahead this year. I recently won a free website and hosting from Livebooks, so I want to work… Read More
Thoughts, post WPPI 2011
I have been dragging my butt writing a new blogpost, while still basking in the post-WPPI glow that one gets after a week-long immersion in everything photography. After this yearly sabbatical, I had to jump right into work and catch up on editing, scheduling shoots, taxes (ugh) and relearning my children’s names (joke). But finally, here… Read More
Exploring Jesh de Rox's Manly Tingles
A normal person would name the blog post – A Beloved Platform Talk with Jesh de Rox, but hey – who said I’m normal? I’m glad to have caught your attention. The name Jesh de Rox to me instantly evokes thoughts of touchy-feely-artsy-fartsy talk. People who have seen him speak have urged me time and… Read More
Yervant @ WPPI 2010 Plus Classes
Australian photographer Yervant is considered among the best wedding photographers in the world. Every year, his WPPI Plus class gets sold out, so I consider myself one lucky gal to get a slot in his class this year. Yervant came to our classroom, strolling in casual, with no pomp and circumstance. Dressed in all black,… Read More
Sandy Puc' Family Tour 2010
I have been a faithful puppy dog to Sandy’s photography workshop series, having attended both the Babies & Bellies in 08 and Tots to Teens tours in 09. This year, the master photographer embarks on her national tour again, enticing us into the wonderful world of families portraiture. I was so there. Now, I have… Read More
Bob Davis @ Golden Gate School of Professional Photography
Meeting a master photographer like Bob Davis of la Storia foto always makes brings out the fan girl in me. I had the chance to take a class under Bob at the Golden Gate School of Professional Photography this week. And while I was blessed to have been awarded a scholarship by PPGBA, paying the… Read More
Mamarazzi Workshop
I was recently invited by my friend Rathna to speak about photography for our Mothers Meetup group. I thought it was a great opportunity to bond with moms and teach them how to get the most of out of digital cameras. We coined the workshop, the “Mamarazzi Photography Workshop.” Catchy, isn’t it? I can’t take… Read More
