Josh and Courtnie had a baby …

  So, my wife’s baby brother had a baby of his own — premature and beautiful. Better yet, Josh and Courtnie had a baby in North Carolina. Now, when my wife’s other brother had a baby (just two weeks ago), I coax everyone down to the studio for a quick shoot. Stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., however,...

  As we gain experience, the desire to teach and share ideas grows with every season. So when Adrienne decided to begin teaching workshops, it seemed like an obvious next step — new friends sharing ideas and vision. Saturday’s workshop was a validation for us that the workshop is indeed a fabulous way to gain...

Love in the Time of Kodachrome

The ushers see me but don’t seem too concerned. This is good. Taking a few deep...

Currently you can only find these lovely jewels in my studio in downtown Overland Park.  I’ve had the special opportunity to hand-select pieces to display & offer at an introductory rate during my open studio on April...

The Best Birthday Gift

Only 48 hours before my birthday, Emmaline started saying ‘ma-mama-mama-ma’.  A couple of days before that she started saying ‘dada’ but over the last week her favorite word consistently was ‘mama’.  It’s incredibly sweet.  Although it is hard to deny her when she calls out to me… she clearly has me figured out.  And it’s not quite as sweet...
