Photoshoot: The Girls
I remember growing up with two older sisters. They were close and I was left chasing them. For a while my middle sister and I were close. I treasure those memories. Shooting my friends children reminded me of those summer nights hanging out with my sister. How cool I thought she was. She seemed to … Read more
Video: The Kids
Yesterday when I was sick I recorded my nephews. I don’t know if others will find this as entertaining as I but I find kids so creative. I thought it was pretty cool that David, my three-year old nephew, sat down and had a conversation with me.
Being Still.. It’s not so easy.
It’s interesting how hard it is to be still. Even watching Jacob, my nephew, it was hard for him to stay in one spot. Today I woke up pretty stick. I slept most of the day but for a few hours when I was awake, my nephews were here visiting. Strange thing is that my … Read more

After I watched that interview I must have spent a few hours watching some of Creativelive’s workshops. I then became a devoted student. I got an email announcing the news that Gale would be teaching a … Read more
