Yesterday, two of my young nieces competed in the USATF PVA Track Championships in Prince Georges County Maryland. They traveled from New Jersey to attend the meet, so my daughter, her friend and I met them there. Not only was it an opportunity to see my family, I was also able to practice sports photography. I…
I’ve always liked western styled boots, and thought they were especially cute as part of drill team attire! But I never thought I’d actually purchase a pair because I’ve never felt the cowgirl vibe. Another reason I haven’t purchased a traditional pair of cowgirl boots is I couldn’t think of what I’d wear them with…
The first weekend in January I invited a few friends over for a photo shoot. It was a very long, but fun day! All of the ladies were fantastic models and a couple even styled and posed themselves, making my job easier. We had a blast! Here are a few of the fab results! …
Last week’s post featured UGG boots and shoes. I photographed my UGG boots, which keep my feet and legs very warm. I love to wear boots in the fall and winter months, as I’m not one to wear boots in the spring and summer, it just seems a little odd because when I was growing up my…
OMG! Boy has it been cold! Yesterday, I worked from home and could see morning snow flurries from my office window. So I knew that it was going to be another bitter cold day! The snow was being tossed around in a million different directions, so I also knew that it was windy as well.…
In my first shoe blog, I stated that I love shoes. However, I am very particular about my shoes and over the years I have remained pretty consistent in what I’ll wear. One year when I was in grade school my parents went school shopping for me and my siblings and brought home saddle oxfords…
Last night I went to the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C. to photograph the ZooLights. The last time I visited a zoo at night was over twenty years ago to see ZooLights at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington. I arrived at my destination earlier than anticipated only to encounter traffic.…
Saturday morning I attended a meetup at the Conowingo Hydroelectric Dam (http://www.harfordbirdclub.org/conowingo.html) in Darlington, MD, to photograph bald eagles. This location is known to have bald eagles this time of year and by the numbers! I’d been anticipating this event since hearing about it several weeks ago. I thought this could be a really cool thing…
Last Sunday I had a photo session with little Miss Mila. She is a beautiful seven week old, whose mother is a former colleague. Mila is her first born. In preparation for the shoot, I visited the baby section of a couple of big chain stores and then Buy Buy Baby, looking for prop ideas.…
Have you heard of the United States Institute of Peace? I just learned that this agency has been around since 1984. The United States Institute of Peace was established by Congress in 1984 as an independent, federally-funded national security institution devoted to the nonviolent prevention and mitigation of deadly conflict abroad. More information about the Institute…
