In October of 2006, I took my first trip to Paris...my friend Peg & I spent 8 days exploring the city, mostly on bicycles. Rented a little flat we found on craigslist (i LOVE craigslist!) in the 3rd arrondissment (sp?) and enjoyed some wonderful weather along with the usual rain for that time of year. First thing we did was Le Tour Eifel; what fun! This photo was taken on a bike trip to the … [Read more...]
Introducing…Juliet
This "maternity" photo was taken on July 12th, 3 days before she was born. One week later we did the newborn session... Born July 15th (one of 15 babies born in Corpus Christi on the 15th) -- she is four days old in these photos...I love newborns. Sleepy and pliable. The "pod" she's laying in is from a palm tree; very appropriate for a Corpus Christi baby. Had to climb an extension ladder … [Read more...]
Sometimes, all you need is Grace
Having made a recent move, I've been going through archives of work; recently found files from my original website, created in 2002. Thought it'd be fun to share some early work, and some of the stories behind the images. This first one, "GRACE," was one of my first forays onto the digital playground. The hopper actually has the word on it (a brand?) and sits in a field just outside of Blanco … [Read more...]

Quote of the Day: I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a … [Read more...]
Mysterious Vintage Photo with a Rock Star
Can you name the famous people in this photograph? I restored it several years ago from the original 8x10 photo. It was shot by my friend Lilo, who is originally from Germany and is now an American citizen. As I understand it, she was always hanging around Berlin with a camera...she just happened to look around and snap this. I find it fascinating...of course Bowie is immediately … [Read more...]
Ooooh Baby!!!
This is Jayden...beautiful happy child! I came to his (first time) parents' house to create portraits for them; and because of the already searing San Antonio heat before 9 a.m. and no acceptable background outdoors, I created a studio "on the fly" inside the comfort of their home. Note to self: ALWAYS carry a black sheet when in "itinerate photographer" … [Read more...]
