New Website Launches

For the past 15 years I've had the amazing opportunity to provide educational and motivational programming to photography associations across the country. I've made some great friends along the way and really enjoyed knowing that I could help other photographers succeed. I also knew that in order to focus on building the new studio I'd need to take a break from speaking. Well, now that the studio is up and running (and I couldn't be more proud of what we built!) it's time for me to recommit myself to something I have such a passion for.

In order to get the word out we developed a new website . . . kind of a virtual resume. And, even though we're still tweaking it, I'm super happy to share it with you.

Check it out by clicking on the link: www.learngrowsucceed.org
Just remember it's .org NOT .com or .net.
Let us know what you think?

Thar Be Whales

I just returned from the most amazing adventure! We went back east to spend time with friends on their boat and while we were about 30 miles off Nantucket we were surrounded by a pod of whales! They were so playful and curious . . . you can see how close they came to the boat. At one point it actually seemed like they were waiving to us!
It was awesome to see how powerful they could be while at the same time graceful. It was quite a day and one I still get goosebumps thinking about. We joke about getting alot of 'tail' in Nantucket :) Enjoy the beauty!

Fun with my camera

I just spent a weekend up north relaxing at mom and dad's mountain home outside of Payson. We had alot of fun and sure enjoyed the cool moutain air!
Their yard backs-up to the forest and is constantly visited by animals of all types so I spent one morning getting a chance to just 'play' with my camera. The hummingbirds are so busy right now . . . mom spends much of the time just refilling feeders. I learned the hard way that wearing a red shirt is not a smart thing to do when photographing hummingbirds.
