Do you know where body fat goes when you “lose” it? It can’t just disappear when your body uses it for energy. Right?? Like when you burn wood, it doesn’t just disappear… it creates heat and smoke, and leaves ash behind. I’d kinda figured burned fat creates energy and gets pooped out. Turns out, that’s …
Season 1 Penelope Season 3 Penelope I am unapologetically obsessed with this 3rd Season of Bridgerton, and especially Penelope. In fact, I gotta finish writing this post so I can go binge the rest of it which just dropped today! Sometimes I have clients say things like "I don't know if these photos look like …
AI Headshots vs. Real Photography The wonderful world of all things AI feels like a movie I've seen before. I'm seeing ads for fast, easy and cheap AI headshots. I'm seeing friends and colleagues use AI imagery in their slides for their speaking engagements. AI imagery on websites. I've heard the audience whisper that it …
I hope you think the video clips of Resident Alien are funny… but I’m not sure if they are if you haven’t watched the show. The show is damn funny and we could all use some laughter these days. Also, I’m in the throws of planning my Bubbles and Boudoir info night, and I’ve gotta …
How has your week been? Does the changing of the clocks mess with you? Cause I can’t seem to shake the daylight savings jet-lag. Last night I dreamt that I fell asleep in a restaurant. That’s how tired I am. It’s crazy that we’re still doing this seasonal clock-changing ritual. From what I can understand, …
The week between Christmas and New Years for me is always a very nebulous time. Days and time are fairly meaningless and I seem to sleep a lot, and read and watch movies. It did have one shoot that week, and it was a big deal because she needed new photos for an article in …
Around this time last year, I warned you that the holidays are coming and I recommended staying sane. So here’s your warning. Thanksgiving is a month away. Christmas isn’t far behind. Re-read last years holiday post for sanity tips! People who know me a bit might think I’m a planner-ish person. It looks like I don’t rush …
We just binged the How to Live to 100 docuseries on Netflix. I highly recommend it! If you’re not into documentaries, just watch the last episode – it sums up the first 3 and draws some conclusions. One point that struck me was that the 100-year-old shepherd in Italy is not without stress. He might …
Crystal and Dustin already did engagement photos with their wedding photographer. They loved those photos, but they had an itch for something more unique to them and more "them" for their save-the-dates. Crystal has been playing Settlers of Catan since childhood. She's roped so many friends and family into playing along the way, that now …

I’m writing from the future again, but this time because we ended up hanging out with friends we met here Bali yesterday. They’re here from Jacksonville, FL! So instead of doing my homework like a responsible adult, I’ve waited until just about the last possible minute! It’s not really a problem, because I think about …
I’ve poured my heart and soul into every aspect of this art and business, because my great love is pouring this creative thing I have into others. When it comes to marketing my work, there are things I just won't do anymore.
You know how there's AI everything now? AI can write music, poems, make art, blog posts. It can run your vacuum and do your homework. Now, it can do your headshots too. The thing about all the AI stuff is that none of is super great. It doesn't write a great poem or blog. It …
There's been a lot of hub-bub lately around all the AI stuff popping up. For a while I was seeing everyone posting their AI artwork, myself included… and then it faded. I jumped into the AI artwork machine and had a blast splashing around. But there's only so much fun to be had when splashing around. I got bored.
The past year has had me thinking about legacy. The term “legacy planning” has come up a few times. I guess once you're in your 40s, it's time to figure out what happens to all your money and stuff when you die.
It’s freakin' cold here!! But at least the snow makes it pretty, right?
When I was a teen, I got a fortune cookie that read:
If you have a difficult task, give it to a lazy person and they will find an easier way.
You know how in school, it's all about being right or wrong?
4 x 6 = 23… wrong!
blue + yellow = aqua … wrong!
e and i mixed up? Wrong!
The Holidays, they’re coming… We’re having some hot sunny days here, and I’m snowing on your parade. I know it’s harsh, but it’s in the spirit of love. First, I want to say that family portraits and sessions with Mom aren’t just for people whose family all gets along and are besties. In fact, since …
What the heck is REAP? I just made it up… it stands for Relax and Enjoy A Pro. There are times when it's great to DIY and other times it's not worth the hassle. Or you're just not going to get the result you want by yourself. With your Senior Photos, DIY is all you …
How much does a headshot cost in Loveland or Fort Collins is not an easy question to answer. It's like asking how much does dinner cost in Loveland? Because the short answer is "it depends." Dinner to some people means McD's and to others means Jay's Bistro. Dinner to some includes a bottle of wine, …

By presenting yourself in the best possible way, while being honest and authentic. The great thing about being yourself online is that you're more likely to attract someone who you …
A Boudoir portrait experience is a little like a rollercoaster—scary, but the kind of scary you are excited for. The rollercoaster exciting because it's out of your day-to-day comfort zone, and you trust that it's safe. With boudoir photography, the number one factor to look for is that you feel safe. Well, first make sure …
Confidence is a gift that doesn’t always have an ‘on’ switch, which is why I’ve decided to inspire you RIGHT NOW, right here.
