Giving up? Or have you had Enough?
“There’s a difference between giving up and knowing when you’ve had enough.” One thing about the 50’s you know when you have had enough. Perhaps it is because you know you are on the other side of that half of a century mark and you know while some people make it to the ripe old […]

Do you feel good enough? In your profession? In your personal relationships? In your life? We are in a world where it is easy to feel as though you are constantly being judged.

Is busyness an illness?
Is busyness an illness? Yes! Busyness is an illness and I have it bad. This photography business is what has taken me to the edge.

Self Portrait – The ultimate selfie
Like Frida Kahlo I love doing self portraits. Early in my photography career it was a way to try out different techniques, such as lighting, posing, locations etc..

I’m going to “TRI” real hard…
Inspiration comes in many ways. I was minding my own business when a client shared she was doing the Pasadena triathlon, one that I participated in last year in the swim portion on a relay team.
