Tulip Time

Jan 31

Ah…..spring time in Oklahoma. Okay, it’s not quite spring time in the city just yet, but I was inspired to bring a little bit of spring into my house for some macro and studio shots.

Tulips are one of my favorite flowers.

This bunch seems to be right out of the green house since the buds are so tight.

I’ll probably be working with them for a few more days (just to get the most from them that I can.)

Snow Day! (Actually More of an Ice Day)

Jan 27

Posted by marianne in None

Well, I’m no longer in school, but once in a while I still get a snow day. I’m originally from Denver, CO and so I should probably correctly identify today as an ICE day. Oklahoma doesn’t really get snow as much as it gets ice (think, precipitation coming out of the sky into all that wind…you get the picture).

Since the ice storm closed my office (state office), I decided I needed a photo project to occupy my down time today. I started out in the bathroom and was drawn to the white on white.

Okay, I got lucky and got one of my cat, Lois. Normally she turns her head when she hears the camera’s auto focus “beep, beep”.

Cute little kitchen cow.

This is a childhood toy that I’ve had forever. It came from my grandparent’s house just before Grandma packed up and moved to an assisted living center.

Real (and old) Mardi Gras beads. Very cool.

Meet Shannon and Josh

I’ve know this couple for a few years now and I’m thrilled they are planning their wedding day now! We got together for an engagement shoot this past weekend and I am sharing a few from the day.

It was a pretty exciting day for me since I just recently got studio lighting and a backdrop. They were definitely game for some indoor and outdoor shooting.
