Leap Year 2012

Always fun to have an extra day in a year. If something is holding you back from pursuing a hope or dream, maybe leap in now!! Stretch your arms way up high, let go of fear, believe you can, and leap into the unknown.

A beautiful, enchanting place!

Happy Valentine's Day With Love!

May your day be filled with abundant love from all directions.

Courageous Women Retreat-Shambhala Mountain Center

Last August I had the privilege of photographing the Courageous Women workshop at the Shambhala Mountain Center. This was a group of women who came together for a week who were fighting cancer in some form. It was one of the most inspiring photo shoots of my career and one that impacted me greatly. These were powerful, inspiring and wildly courageous women taking on the battle of their lives with incredible grace and strength. I have since learned that 3 of these women have since passed away, one just yesterday, and this post is in their honor. I am very grateful to have photographed them and to now share these images with their loved ones; images that show them joyful at this amazing, supportive retreat. This retreat will happen again in 2012. If you know of anyone who would benefit from such an experience, please do spread the word. They all loved it!! Blessings to the spirits and families

of CJ, Jax and Lynette.

First thoughts of Spring

My Grandmother's 100th Birthday

Today was my grandmother Nilda Follini's 100th birthday.

She lived to be 95 and she was an extraordinary woman. This is a photo of her and my grandfather George, back in the 50's. They were married for 55 years until he passed away.

Their love produced this. The beauty and abundance of family goes on. Thanks George and Nilda for an extraordinary love and an extraordinary family.
