Mass MOCA

Posted in Inspiration

Mass MOCA is awesome. Simply awesome. Jamie and I headed over for a jolt of creative adrenaline and lots of inspiration.  We had so much fun interacting with the art and playing within the space. My absolute favorite was Sol LeWitt, the colors and lines just excite me, I guess. That is the easiest way to put it.  If you have the opportunity and are close enough to visit Mass MOCA, you should definitely go. Here’s their website: http://www.massmoca.org/.

The artists are: Katharina Grosse: One Floor Up More Highly (spray paint), Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective (lines and color), and Natalie Jereminjenko with Tree Logic (upside down trees).

Jaime From VA

Posted in Portraits

My dear friend Jaime came up this past weekend to enjoy the delights of Saratoga County in the summer. As a trained ballerina, coming to Saratoga was like taking a pilgrimage. We went to the National Museum of Dance and two ballets at SPAC by the NYC ballet. I learned all about ballet; the people, the steps, different choreographers, the costumes, and schools. Jaime was a wealth of knowledge and she teaches ballet in Virginia Beach. I have a whole new appreciation for ballet now.

This photo was taken at the City Tavern after our trip to the top for a beer.

Jessi Arrington | TED Talk

Posted in Business, Inspiration

I absolutely love TED talks! Whenever I need a little inspiration or reasons to change up my routine, I browse TED. I really love Jessi Arrington’s thoughts about used clothing. She provides great motivation for going out and shopping at a thrift store or consignment store. She also talks about beauty, clothes, personal style and self confidence. I love that she says, “just be who you are” and “embrace your inner child!”.

Here’s a little happy for today! These are my finds from Saturday’s Farmer’s Market in Ballston Spa, NY. These flowers are from the Adirondack Flower Farm. I could stare at these all day long.

Sometimes Life Just Plain Sucks | Virginia Beach, VA

Posted in Uncategorized

Sometimes life just really, really sucks. Two Sundays ago, friends and clients, Katy and Adam lost their home in a house fire. I connected with Katy and Adam through the It Factor Job Club and then when I photographed them for their 6th anniversary in Williamsburg, VA. They were married near this inn and go there every year for their anniversary.  We created a canvas collage for them from their images, but below is what’s left of it. However, thanks to the generous help of  Simply Color Lab, my canvas company, we are getting them a new canvas cluster! While these might seem like the last thing necessary to rebuild your life and your personal space, they are critical to feeling normal again and having something familiar around you in trying times.  These images will find an amazing new home with Katy and Adam in their rental home, while they are in the rebuilding phase.

Photographs are so important and you don’t really know how important until they are gone.
