  • What do you photograph?

    People often ask me, “What do you photograph?” This is a quick peek of some photo shoots from the first two months of 2024… Artist, teacher, mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend, Marla, is living with stage IV breast cancer and wants to document her complex emotions of living with cancer. Ashley Jones and Grace…

  • strengthening my niche…

    I have tried almost every kind of photography. Food photography, corporate photography, landscape photography, product photography, aerial photography, wedding and family photography. I thought being able to photograph everything was an asset. I can be whatever you want me to be. But today I listened to a photographer talk about choosing your niche. Pick one…

  • It’s the year of the Head Shot…

    So far my first three photo shoots this year have been head shots… which is way more exciting for me than for the person I am photographing. Typically I get some pretty big groans and grumbles and usually the common expression, “I hate having my photo taken,” comes out. And I say, “Yes, me too,…

  • Homage…

    I am excited to kick off a creative new year with a group photography show at Toby’s Feed Barn in Point Reyes Station… Each photographer was asked to pay “homage” to something and I chose to pay “homage” to the amazing women I have been lucky to photograph. We would love for you to come…

  • My Best Tip-Toe Forward…

    Last week I received a phone call from a well-known company asking to see my portfolio. They wanted to see still life, food and some people (because they don’t usually do much photography of people.) While that phone call was very exciting, the problem was that no one had ever asked me to send in…

  • Faces behind the food…

    Mitch wanted me to take portraits for the Town Hall cook book… I was more than happy to oblige. This assignment was the first time that I used my new Contax 645… but I couldn’t help but use my Rollei too. I am happy with the results but I still love the square best.

  • Coaching & Creative Projects for a Well-Fed & Full Life, by Rachel Cole… (coming soon)

    Thank you, Rachel, for inviting me to come and help create the imagery for your new website. Despite the odds, I think we did pretty well, and I can’t wait to see the final results. And thank you, Bridget Farmer, for bringing your style to the styling. It is amazing what a person can do…

  • This is film (and my summer)…

    I love film and I love summer. And I couldn’t live without either one. Well, maybe I could. But life would be a lot less interesting and a lot less fun. The only problem is that they are both so very time-consuming. This summer was so busy that it seemed not to exist at all.…
