It’s hard to believe that I’m wrapping up my final week of my food photography class through Social Fabric University. I’m a few more critiques and a final portfolio away from finishing up the class. I’ve really enjoyed learning more about how to improve my food photography skills. The feedback has been extremely valuable for me. Watching everyone expand their skills – myself included – has been fun. As with many first time classes, there have been a variety of bumps in the technology road. It’s been a learning experience for those of us involved as well as those presenting…

Exploring Williams, Az – Day One
Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography
We decided that we needed to take a little break from our normal routine, so a camping trip was planned. We needed to head away from our immediate area as it was just too hot to be camping here – especially dry camping which is our norm for our area. Originally, we were just going to head out for the Memorial Day long weekend, but we were unable to get into a campground.

I’ve picked a couple of new skills and techniques for my photos. More…

Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him…
An Early Anniversary Surprise
Posted in Family, and Photography
On Sunday, Daddy and Munchkin headed out to the grocery store to get much needed groceries. Our pantry, fridge, and freezer were looking rather bare. Not having the staples is no fun. I made up a list of all the things we needed (at least as many as I could remember) because my head was hurting too much to venture out with them. Normally, sending them out for groceries is a tad dangerous as I never know what might make it into the cart, but this time very few extras found their way home. One of the extras was a…
