Where have I been?
Posted in: Business, Personal
It’s been almost a month since my last post. I’m embarrassed, to tell you the truth, since I’ve still got a lot to share with you! But as most of you readers probably know already, I am a full-time teacher and do photography on the side. School started August 23 for me, and since then, I have not had a free minute to blog. ALL of my free time has been spent editing, retouching/packaging prints, designing guest books, etc. We’re even hiring a housekeeper because neither my husband nor I can find time to clean our nest. Sad, right?
Anyway, if you want to see more updates, please sign on as a fan on my Facebook business page. I usually put the pictures there first and then blog them as I have time.
One day, when things slow down, I’ll be posting 4 bridal sessions, 5 or 6 more engagements, and 2 new weddings (with 4 more coming this fall/winter). Oh, and seniors! I’ve got some great high school senior shots to show off. So, don’t give up on me yet! : )

My Awesome New Bag
Posted in: Personal
I’ve been looking for a camera bag for months, and I do mean months.Everything I’ve seen has either been too small, too large, too boxy, too sporty, too fancy, or too girly. Or, it’s everything I want but lacks a messenger-style strap. It’s been a trial, to say the least. Good camera bags are NOT cheap, and I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars (yes, really – they cost that much!) for a bag I don’t absolutely LOVE.
So, I gave up and started looking for a custom bag designer – someone who could construct EXACTLY what I wanted in function, while still making sure the form looked cool, too. I wanted something large, sturdy, and modern, that could make carrying 20-30 pounds of equipment (maybe more?) as comfortable and convenient as possible. And did I mention, it needed to match with everything?

Spring break!
Posted in: Personal
I’m on spring break! I have taken myself on vacation to my cousin’s house in Raleigh, NC. The aforementioned cousin is away at the beach, so it’s just me, my camera, my car, and a grand piano for a few days. School has been wearing me out lately, so I’m really enjoying the relaxing time.
Here’s a little bit of nature from the back deck, featuring a fun new swirly border. (I think these borders will look awesome in a wedding album.)
(I do still have email and web access, so if you’re reading this and wondering about wedding or portrait info, go ahead and do the contact form, and I’ll be able to get back to you soon!)

My husband is a masters student in the English graduate program at Virginia Tech. This year, he was put in charge of planning the final dinner/event for their graduate student conference. He asked me if I would come and take a few photos, and – being a diligent photographer wife – I obliged. The following shots are from the concluding open mic/reading at Gillie’s, a vegetarian downtown restaurant and favorite of Blacksburg locals. Click the photo to see more.
