The Clarks Cross America

We did a three day road trip from Vienna, VA to Albuquerque, NM a few weeks ago. I sat in the passenger seat with my camera in my lap and just took photos of things that interested me. One nice thing about traveling at 65mph is there wasn't much of a chance to contemplate "great" shots. I just shot. I was taken with abandoned farmhouses and cars, barbed wire fences and the beautiful sky. We stopped at the St. Louis Arch. We saw the town Rod's father grew up in. We drove through forests and plains and deserts...and then we got home.

Backyard Magic

I met this beautiful family in their soggy (but amazing) backyard for a family shoot. It took a bit for the kids to warm up to me, but once they did...it was tickles and swinging and laughing all around. I LOVED how the parents were so laid back and let me shoot around playtime..and also how goofy they got with each other! I am so glad to have met them all (and their sweet dog)...I hope you enjoy them!

Gorgeous in the Forest

If you know me, you may be surprised to know that it is VERY hard for me to ask people to model for me. The first time I did, I was shot down so atrociously that I am definitely gun-shy now. But once I saw this beauty in my exercise class, I knew I just had too. I mean, look at her!! We met at her house and shot in her backyard and beyond it..which was an amazing forest. She told me that she wasn't photogenic. PSHHHH I say. I think I would cut off a limb to have hair like hers. I hope you enjoy!
