    The past few weeks have been non-stop. I’ve been really busy in good ways. Last weekend, I shot a beautiful wedding on Friday, did head shots for a recently published author on Saturday. On Sunday, we spent all day working in the yard. This week,…

    Dena May 20, 2014

    Roman was posing nicely on the log when his Papa came over the hill. As soon as he saw him, Roman went all smiley and wavy. This boy just loves to wave nowadays. It’s the sweetest thing. Anyway, we were all outside for our first…

  • Rain

    Dena April 14, 2014

    Express yourself completely, then keep quiet. Be like the forces of nature: when it blows, there is only wind; when it rains, there is only rain; when the clouds pass, the sun shines through. These words come from the Tao Te Ching, an ancient Chinese…

  • Oh, New York

    Dena April 3, 2014

    I ventured into Manhattan the other day for a business meeting. I had forgotten just how deep my love/hate relationship with that city is. There is no other place like it in the world. A veritable explosion of colour, culture, and life. It takes my…
