katie & don’t press send
My friend and neighbor Katie authored her first book a few years back (and is working on a few more) entitled “Don’t Press Send” and goes across the country presenting to both parents and students at schools about being a good “cyber citizen”. I read her book when she first published it and it was excellent and thought provoking, but seeing her present was another level. So much important information for kids and adults, it’ll definitely change the way we all behave online. Or at least it SHOULD change our behavior! Mindfulness, being responsible for our online behavior, stepping away when it gets too much, not posting without permission, etc. Good rules to live by, online or off.

pandemic purchases & pastimes {part 3- skin care}
Another installment of my fake influencer pandemic purchases and pastimes. Because there is nothing to freaking do (still) and there are so many hours to kill in a day, I started actually taking care of my skin last year. Well, all of that and the fact that I’m officially old as shit and wrinkly. Ya know, like an added bonus. So with alllllll the other things in the nighttime routine, I’ve added in this awesome facial cleanser from Beautycounter, used with the vibrating facial cleansing brush, and then followed by Beautycounter’s Countertime Supreme Cream and Countertime Eye Renewal Cream. Then I use the rose quartz roller & gua sha for a few minutes. My skin has honestly never felt better- so soft!! I don’t know how much it’s helping with the wrinkles and jowls, but it’s certainly not hurting and the gua sha and roller feel so freaking great. If you use the gua sha, I definitely reccomend doing so on very moisturized skin with either the products listed above or a facial oil. You can check out YouTube videos on best use. Hope this helps! Oh, and if you’re buying from Beautycounter, please use my consultant Annie Sullivan. She’s the bomb and knows her shit- plus I love supporting other women in small business!

catherine’s pre-prom party
A few weeks ago I shot a pre-prom party for one of my favorite (breakfast at tiffany!!) clients and her friends and family. We lucked out with the weather and managed to get just about the whole shoot in before it started raining (but I felt badly for the kids who’s prom was on a boat that night). They seemed to be excited about the night, which is lower key than most prom’s; no dates allowed, no big gowns, no limos or busses, which was actually quite nice with a lot less pressure on everyone. Catherine’s mom threw a wonderful party for the kids and their parents. I hope the rain didn’t ruin the rest of the night and they all had lots of fun!

biosoft & praesid
One of the greatest things about my job is that I get to learn about all kinds of different things while photographing them or doing graphics work. Besides the usual photography I generally do like families, children, headshots, parties, events etc. I can add bands/concerts, yoga, physical therapists, dancers of many varieties, lawyers, dentists, bikers, beard care, baseball, football, jewelry, bars, food and now I can add dialysis to my list. It’s never boring! I worked on a logo, website and business card for Keith as well as some photography for his website. Here’s a bit of that session.
