The stone courtyard was lit by gas lanterns, warm, golden light that drew the photographers one by one like unwise moths. We had laughed and talked and made eerily beautiful underwater art in a pool under the stars, framed by stone walls full of history...
I don't remember who took their clothes off first, but the cascade of naked bodies into the pool was immediate. After nights of girl talk and sharing confidences and building trust, a day of empowering boudoir photography, showgirl costumes and wandering around in lingerie, and then...
Okay, so I thought we got this party started yesterday but clearly I just didn't know. Today has been the most incredible, FUN, fulfilling and amazing day of my entire life. This isn't hype or hyperbole or PR nonsense, this group of women is utterly...
My dear friend Jessica Lark said goodbye to her husband this weekend. He's gone to Afghanistan for a year as part of the last deployment there- the ones with the dangerous job of being the last American soldiers stationed there, packing up and moving out. I have...

I am grateful for one of my favourite clients finding new love and happiness. <3 Miss J! I am grateful for my own bed, after a road trip and a leaky air mattress. Turns out kittens + air mattress = doom. Who knew? I am grateful for...
Well, in retrospect, I never said I'd do 100 CONSECUTIVE days of gratitude. So I'm fine. Day Three I am grateful for blueberries, even if it appears that, eaten in enough quantity, they shoot out of my son like a rocket and require me to abandon work...
Bugger, I almost forgot already! Today will have to be quick as I'm already in bed. I am grateful for my friends Wally and Rick, who showed up unexpectedly with Timbits and a third studio strobe this morning and gave me a good reason to get...
