  • I had the pleasure of taking family portraits for some close friends. They needed a photo for their annual holiday Christmas card. After the formal set ups, we got to have fun with toys. This Darth Vader helmet sure does warm up a setting, doesn’t it? 

  • Through the Fire

    The weather is hovering between 30-32F degrees today. We even had – what I like to call – snow dandruff. So, we eased into our morning with some reading by the fire. It then turned into “Let’s look through my water glass and take pictures of the fire.” It made me think of a super hero…
