it’s just so pretty sometimes

snack-time, that is. couldn’t call myself a photographer if i didn’t photograph things that strike me with inspiration…at least most of the time.

    love that you (we) find inspiration in the smallest things! :-)



when you’re sick

and you’re six and you’re the coolest guy in town, a little star wars on the couch works miracles. (note: i tagged this photo in the “rockstars” category…just wait, you’ll see. he’s a rockstar in the making.)







jillian, class of 2010

look out world, she’s almost a free woman! actually, the world with jillian roaming free is sure to be a better one. i love this girl, she never fails to impress me with her never-ending awesomeness. she’s beautiful (obviously), as well as brilliant, full of kindness and has such a deep soul…not to mention totally rad.

just one more

i’m working on getting this particular little client’s gallery uploaded today…couldn’t help but post this shot when i ran across it again.







two of my favorite things

i seriously love both of these things…as much as one soul could love food.  in fact, i look forward to the first like a giddy 4 year old little girl waiting for the ice-cream truck. naturally, i have to photograph them because i photograph everything i love. everything.

what is it? irish-style steel cut oats with toasted pecans and a light drizzling of agave nectar. mmm…healthy eating makes me happy and it’s nothing short of delicious. this is better than pretty much any sugary sweet confection i can think of.

this one’s slightly more of an indulgence, but so worth it from time to time. a double-shot cortadito. one perfect shot of espresso in each glass with a teeny bit of frothed milk with agave nectar rather than sugar. i’m pretty confident that i appear slightly off my rocker for my insistence on healthy food choices… since they don’t actually offer agave nectar as a sweetener at most places, i bring my own…in a medicine syringe, tucked away in my purse. i know, it does seem slightly overboard. trust me, it’s not. just go with it. raw agave nectar is totally natural, no funky chemicals and low glycemic…and wonderful. this beauty is from the liberty market’s e61 bar. they make ‘em top notch.







and another…

…custom storyboard. just couldn’t help but post it.







walk a mile…

…in the shoes of a sweet little ballerina. i’m guessing in this case, it’d be a charming little stroll.
