I guess when you’re motivated there’s no controlling it so why bother trying right?  I love smoothies and for some reason I fell into a rut where the blender just sat in the corner of my counter and gathered dust.  Last weekend I watched a food photography workshop and started to really think about light […]

Fun with lenses: Canon 50mm 1.4

In honor of my newest addition, the full-framed Canon 5D Mark III, I’ve decided to start a little series where I play with my lenses and have a bit fun with different f-stops.  Today, I started with Canon’s 50mm 1.4 lens.  I shot everything at 1.4 and went for a soft series of shots with […]

In what might amount to one of the biggest leaps forward in my photo career I have upgraded to a full frame camera.  I’m so excited and I can’t wait to get started.  The difference from my previous crop frame 7D to the 5d Mark III is tremendous.  My lenses will now be reflective of […]

Happy Canon Day!

Relax with P.F. Candle Co.

Restaurants, cafes, bars and coffee shops have always delighted me beyond the food and drink.  I love the architecture, design, and style of spaces and how it all comes together to give you a terrific experience.  I’m making it a point to start documenting some of that inspiration.  Here are a couple recent snaps from […]

Hello August

Somehow, ever so quickly we have arrived at August.  I’m an optimist so I still think we’ve got a couple more good months of awesome weather around here.  With any luck we’ll dip into some October beauty as well.  For now though, I’m enjoying every droplet from growing tomatoes on my balcony to swimming in […]

Family

I’m so happy to share some photos from my shoot with the Burns Family.  We basked in the glorious evening light and topped the whole thing off with ice cream for little Clementine.  I feel so lucky to be able to capture moments like these.
