Postcards coming soon!

This is one of the projects I've been working on.
"Shadow and Light"

Postcards will be the first product available from this. Creating these diptychs and triptychs are more work than I first anticipated. Sometimes I will get a group of photos together and then as I work them on the template, I decide one doesn't work in the group, or the crop size doesn't please me. But this is just a teaser of the many that I've created from my photos I've shot over the past few years at chuckwagon cookouts, cattle drives and other western venues.

"Camp Gear"


"A little soap and powder"

I'd love to hear feedback and if you are interested in my western images and products, I'll add you to my mailing list. You can post anonymously, but I'd really love to hear if you like these.

Red, pink and beautiful

Valentines Day! Best part was seeing my grandchildren. Just took some snapshots of the little guy when his daddy brought him over. I get to do an actual shoot Sunday. But then my other one showed up later! My husband bought her the outfit and then, seriously, she raided my jewelry cabinet and picked out these beads on her own. I didn't even know she had "thieved" them...sly little stinker! She knows just which ones to wear. The session didn't go so well, until I gave her the donut. We had bears, strawberry, balloons, nothing...but the donut worked!

First signs of spring

Shot this Thursday! In my front yard! this week there have been tornadoes/spring weather, and today, it is 32 degrees. definitely Oklahoma!

Art to banish stress

I scrolled down to see who might have stopped by my blog today, when I see a link for 1000journalsfilm.com. I click and get a neat list of places to visit. I clicked on the second name, Art Tea Life blog and end up with this video below. I was a part of this project. I've blogged about it before. I need to go buy the book since my pages were published in it. Wow. I look back and think, that was a LONG time ago....10, 11 years. I recently started working on some of my old art journals and photo journal. I need to do it more regularly. It's a great stress reliever. I need that right now.


Here's that link to my first post about this project:

I refuse..

to twitter! I have yet to have an interest. not even enough to investigate it to see why so many people are excited about it. do you twitter? why? what's the purpose? just tell me. i mean really, you have something so important to share with the world at that very exact moment, you can't just pick up the phone and tell your best friend? ummmm.....no, let's twitter to the masses!
now, I know, odd comments coming from a blogger! i started the blog when I first opened a photo studio. then it became a way to show off some of my art photos and once in awhile, news that was happening locally.
and of course, for family.
but seriously...twittering...whatever in the world for?
