Photos from the Road: New Orleans Cemeteries
I'm just back from a wonderful trip to New Orleans. I'm considering offering a photo tour there in the future so decided I needed to do some scouting of the area to identify locations I'd like to share with others on a workshop. And of course, while I was there - I...
New Photo: Lavender Siberian Irises
I’ve recently added a new photo – Lavender Siberian Irises – to the shop on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website. I love Siberian Irises. In 2015, I photographed a group of siberian irises in my studio – and rather than my usual photographing one perfect...
Come Photograph with Me in 2017
I’m busy working out all the details for the photo workshops and tours I’ll be offering the spring of 2017. I don’t have dates or prices finalized, but I’m close enough that I wanted to let you know what I’m planning. In January - probably on Saturday the 21st...

In the Studio: Purple & White Fringed Tulips

Siberian Irises
Some of my favorite flowers to photograph in the spring are the siberian irises. Since I’ve started photographing flowers in my studio, I’m able to photograph siberian irises more often than just during their bloom time and I’m able to create photos that I can’t do at...
Imperial Star Artichokes – cynara scolymus
Last month I paid a quick visit to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. One of the new to me plants to photograph on that trip was some Imperial Star Artichokes (cynara scolymus). When I think about artichokes - I picture dipping delicious artichoke leaves in...
In the Studio with Melancholic
I thought I'd share something a little different on my blog today. Bill and I have been working with several figure models in our studio recently. Bill usually does most of the shooting - he's been creating some wonderful tintypes lately. Every now and then I'll grab...
New Photo: Antigua Carnations
I’ve recently added a new photo – Antigua Carnations – to the shop on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website. I’ve always thought of carnations as those flowers that you get to match your dress/your date’s tie when you’re attending your high school prom in...
How I Organize My Photo Files on my Computer
One of the conversations I seem to have over and over again is talking about how I organize my photo files on my computer. I’ve met people with everything from very complex systems involving dates, locations, subjects, etc to having all their photos in one directory...
In the Studio: Pink & White Tulips
Earlier this year I photographed a wonderful set of Pink & White Tulips in my studio. I thought I'd share some of the photos from that set with you today. ...
