I had the chance to do an engagement photo session in the last week. The poor groom-to-be was so tired from working a night shift, but they were both great sports and so much fun to work with. This is one of my favorite shots from the shoot. What have you been photographing this week?…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Planter
Is this what the doctor meant when he said I had Plantar Fasciitis? Ok, maybe not….Maybe this was just one of the fun pictures I took in Pennsylvania last week. I walked by this clever planter and had to stop for a picture. What have you been photographing this week? I’d love to see your…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Hiking
Sometimes I am still amazed at the beauty of this place. Growing up in California was fabulous–beautiful–but a trip to the mountains took a couple of hours, and I certainly didn’t have anything like this in my back yard: AJ and I joined some friends for a day trip to a local Falls and lake…

Give Me Your Best Shot, America
I have a confession to make. I didn’t take many pictures this week. It was just one of those weeks. When I went through my pictures from the last 7 days, I found some rather boring photos. I had the pictures of my gutters that desperately needed cleaning (the pressuring of my husband finally paid…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Womenomics
My favorite shot of from this week is certainly not the most technically proficient or beautiful picture, although the women in the picture are both proficient and beautiful. This is one of those occasions when my favorite shot became my favorite because of the story and the memories behind it. There is a great group…
Give Me Your Best Shot (or Two)
I typically pick one favorite shot of the week to display on Fridays, but I couldn’t pick just one this week. On Wednesday, AJ and I spent the day surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery I can imagine. One picture wouldn’t do the day and our experience there justice. This day needed more…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Baby Doll
I was sure that all of the pictures that I took of my friend’s little girl on Tuesday were going to be flops. She’s a gorgeous little baby doll, but, well, she wasn’t exactly thrilled about my camera. It took a good 30 minutes for her to be able to look at me without screaming…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Benihana’s
Yesterday, I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of a former babysitter and the daughter of a good friend of mine. I’m still working on those photos…..but these untouched shots from our lunch at Benihana’s were some of my first-round favorites of the day. I am still loving my borrowed 24-70mm L lens. Granted,…
Give Me Your Best Shot #16
In looking through my photos from this week, I discovered that I had more than my usual number of candids of people outside my family. Kind of fun for me! That’s one thing I love about having a big ‘ol zoom. I can sit in one spot and inconspicuously snap pictures of people in their…
