Almost Famous Dance STACK THE STANDS DANCE AND POM COMPETITION PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL 2011 Wow what a day 11 hours of almost non stop shooting. 9,360 images of the day. Yea you saw it right 9,360 images for one day. But it was a good day and when you meet a challenge like this it is always satisfying. The only thing is that is when the real work starts. All those images have to be edited, sorted and put into galleries for online viewing and they have to be done fast... Read Full Story

It was an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to record the memories of a special day with Scott and Michelle.I t was a beauty full day and evening. We had the opportunity to make some great images that will make for some great wall art when finished. We stopped in a local state park for a few quick images. I personally like the black and white versions of these images best. It always makes it easy when you have such a great looking couple. One... Read Full Story

I had a great time and privilege photographing a super family. I like to do outdoor photo sessions especially when we are at a place that means something to the family I am working with. On location can give you some problems with lighting and areas to pose the family. I think we made some great images, I especially like the images on the porch . I used two speed lights in a small soft box for most of the lighting that evening. When possible keep the sun to there backs to give some back light... Read Full Story

Well, as you can see, it has been over a month since I posted to Monkey's Momma. I really don't know where to start except to say that it has been a fun journey, starting this blog, nurturing it and posting my musings for all of my readers. But.....all good things must come to an end. And this is the end for Monkey's Momma. Over the last year, my life has taken some twists and turns. My husband has had some health problems, my best friend died, Monkey's extracurricular activities keep us... Read Full Story

My dear, sweet Aunt Dorothy went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 14th. She died in her sleep during her morning nap, throwing our little family into turmoil. One of my cousins was visiting her husband's family in Texas and was not able to get back until right before the funeral. The rest of the family took turns falling apart, but her three daughters and son were able to pull it together for the funeral and I think my Auntie would have been proud. As for me, I spent three days a... Read Full Story

  These are some photos from my latest photo shoot. Little Red is the granddaughter of one of my friends. We let her play "dress up" during the photo shoot, and she really hammed it up for me. She was truly a delight to photograph! Isn't she pretty?         Read Full Story

I had the pleasure of reviewing this awesome little nugget called The Napkin, The Melon & The Monkey by Barbara Burke. This book should be on the nightstand of anyone who deals with the public (and really, who doesn't). It would be particularly helpful to someone starting their own business or in the customer service sector. This is a fictional account of a customer service representative who changed her life by simply changing the way she looked at things. It is full of "aha!" moments. My... Read Full Story

  Recently, my family and I were treated to three full size bottles of Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion from Vaseline. We were asked to try them all out, and tell my readers what I thought. Well, three bottles later, I can honestly say that my family really enjoyed this new lotion from Vaseline. It is infused with something called Stratys-3, which is a moisturizing complex designed to reach deep down through all the layers of skin for extreme moisturizing. Initially, I thought that the...
