Weekly Photo Challenge: Movement

Challenge: Movement.  How do you show movement in your photos? This photo choice is a very deliberate show of movement through the camera lens and the blurring lights, but how else can you show movement of objects, or of the action that’s happening in your picture?  In 2007 my older sister, Charlotte, got married. She was…

Happy Birthday, Isaac

Five years ago he was just a fellow intern at the Dolphin Research Center. I wasn’t looking for a relationship, in fact I had just gotten out of a relationship and was ready for some freedom, fun, and relaxation in the Florida Keys. One day at work he came out of the closet (no pun intended) wearing…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Close

Challenge: Close. It’s a feeling, it’s a proximity…it’s people, it’s a place, it’s objects. They’re close. I learned to keep my trigger finger always ready for action while working in the Florida Keys as a Bottlenose Dolphin Photographer. I loved being able to capture the beautiful gray creatures up close and personal. Here is my…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Together

I have always posted examples of my own photography for the weekly photo challenges, but this week I’m switching it up a bit due to the theme. When I read the word “together” I instantly thought about my fiance, Isaac.  Since September of 2007, we have spent almost every day together (except the year we…

Weekly Photo Challenge: SUN

Challenge: Sun. We’ve done sunset before, but what about when the sun, in its full glory, is the feature of your photo? This is a photograph that I took for my friends, Kim and Brandon. I love a good sunburst shot, and I wanted this one to emphasize the baby she was carrying. I like how…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Two Subjects

Challenge: Two Subjects.  This “theme” is more of a composition challenge. Share a picture with two subjects!  A few months ago I photographed my sister-in-law and her family so they could have a non-cheesy Christmas card to send out to loved ones. There is nothing worse than receiving a Christmas card that looks like it could…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Journey

Okay so the weekly photo challenge was posted last Friday, I’m a bit late. It was a busy weekend full of family, food, exercise, and relaxation. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!  Here is a picture from my recent beach trip that says “journey” to me. It just so happens to be four of…

My Boy

I’ve been thinking about you a lot today, old friend. I don’t let myself think about you too often, it still makes me sad. I’m scared of driving down the road and seeing a Wheaten Terrier happily trotting alongside his owner. All you Wheaten’s have the same sweet eyes and jovial disposition. I’m not sure…
