Several years ago, I read an interview with rocker girl Gwen Stefani. I don’t think she was pregnant yet, but she was talking about her marriage and plans for children in the near future. She asked “Really, what is more romantic than two people choosing to raise children together?” I know, I know. It can...

The Irish Claddagh ring is so cool when it comes to expressing love. On it’s own it symbolizes the key factors of love with three design elements. A heart representing love, two hands holding the heart for friendship, and a crown to honor loyalty. Cool, right? If that weren’t enough, you have four options of...

I’ll always love the Beatles. Anybody a Beatles fan? If so, you might understand the Beatles reference with the repetitive number nines.
On with the 14 hearts blog challenge. No. 9 is pulled from a wedding I photographed in San Francisco, way back when I was shooting with film. I’ve always thought this cake was really...

These images come from Julie and Rick’s engagement portrait session last summer. I followed them along as they picked blueberries, which they used to make homemade blueberry jam for their wedding favors. They were so nice to send me a jar.

Heart number six is in honor of my new friend Clayton Austin who is visiting this weekend, all the way from Texas! In addition to being the speaker at our CNY PUG meeting on Monday, Clayton also flew all this way so he could photograph some portraits in the snow here. With that in mind,...

Don’t forget I’m a newbie at this blog challenge business, but hang in there with me. Today’s entry is a little different from the rest. Instead of making a heart, Beth my sister “found” a heart. Kind of like when you’re laying on a blanket looking up at a summer sky and you see a...

Seeing as I am a photographer, and this is my blog, it is perfectly acceptable for you to assume that I am going to post another photograph with a heart in it for day two of my 14 hearts blog challenge. Well look out! This is a curve ball post, as I just have to...

I’ve heard people complain about holidays, saying that they don’t “believe” in them. That we should all just treat our loved ones special everyday. Well, who can really argue about treating each other special everyday? Not me. Yet, while Valentines Day has been notoriously called a Hallmark holiday, I still like it. In fact,...
