A couple of weeks ago I had the extreme pleasure of being asked by my good friend Emilie Sommer to be a mentor at the Roots workshop in Cape Cod. I have been involved in another similar workshop, the Foundation workshop, for years. If you check out the blog archives you can […]

Hannah and Tyler are a couple that compliment each other so well. Hannah is super outgoing and willing to try anything for this shoot, and Tyler is a bit more subdued. This balance makes for a wonderful pairing. Although a great relationship, it kind of made an interesting challenge for me (”the other Tyler”) […]

In case you did not know I am a big time KU Basketball fan.  It is really the only thing in sports I actually care about.   So this is a crazy fun time!
So today […]

So you have read my other post, hopefully, about my recent experience at the Foundation Workshop, and how wonderfully inspirational it was for all and for me. Well, it proved itself again.
Let me explain.
This workshop really gets me going for the season and more importantly keeps me going for […]
