A Garden Tea Party

Last week I had the honor of attending a precious tea party along the shore with Mr. Bear.   

Headshots = Boring?

I do quite a bit of headshots for the movers and shakers around town, and love it when I get a chance to work a bit out of the box. Before having a new headshot done, be sure to think through the spirit that you want to convey to your viewer, client or customer. We can do the standard and necessary “head and shoulders…

Ordering Paralysis?

Do you have visions of a classic, vibrant and personal hallway display of family photographs, but are stuck on what to order from your photo sessions?

we’re moving!
