October 15, 2012: A Very Special Announcement
Last month I found out that I was selected as a finalist in the Relationship category of Canon and Ron Howard's Project Imagination contest. The image they selected was Let My Machine Talk To Me. This image was taken this past spring shortly before my friend who was modeling moved to Hawaii. The image holds a special meaning for both of us.
I want to thank everyone for putting up with my badgering through social media as well as in person. I appreciate all of your votes. See the video below for a special message from me. (Since I don't like to hear myself recorded I found a Bob Dylan approach around it.)

A little update on the other model. According to her owner, the robot has a bit of a swelled head this morning as she greets visitors outside her studio.

June 26, 2012: It Takes A Village (to raise a photographer)
As I was looking through the outtakes from my last image A Soft Place To Land. One image in particular stood out to me. I am standing in front of the mattress and my husband is peaking out from behind. Both my dad and husband were behind the mattress supporting my body weight while I jumped on it from the front. It is a perfect metaphor for the support that I have gotten from friends, family and complete strangers in regards to my photography.
It started out with friends helping me out with assignments for a camera techniques class. Most of these images were simple portraits exploring depth of field and shutter speed. Images became slowly more involved. Friends and family were asked to sit in cold stream waters, cover themselves in corn starch, carry large televisions down steep flights of stairs, hold heavy objects, stand still in awkward leg wobbling positions, stare straight at the sun and the list goes on and on. No one ever complained or ever questioned my vision. My friends and family have always had the attitude whatever you need, I am there for you. Whether my need was for a model, assistant, location, heavy lifting, babysitting, prop searching, they have been there.
It is because of them that I have been able to achieve my visions and take my photography places that I never thought I could. I want to thank each and every one of them. I seriously couldn't do it without you.
