This year’s Spring iPad wallpaper installment is dedicated to Aaron from MACampus, who wrote a very kind blog post about the wallpaper I gave out last year. (He also loves his iPad as much as I do and shares it’s many uses with the world.) Thanks Aaron! I opted for a bit more color this year. The orange tulips look like they pale in comparison to the other flowers, but when their tangerine-y goodness is up close on the iPad they’re outstanding. That wallpaper is probably my favorite.
Please enjoy and use whenever you’re in the mood for a little undercover Washington DC beauty. If you feel so inclined, wander over to my Facebook page and hit “Like” – I’ll be sharing more wallpapers on my wall as they are released.
On your iPad, simply touch and hold the picture that you want, then click “save image”. The wallpaper will now appear in your iPad photos, where you can set it as your background.
Tip: When you’re setting your iPad wallpaper you can move the image around with your finger to frame it exactly the way you want.
I should probably title this Indiana Portrait Photographer, the family’s place of residence. Or Kentucky Portrait Photographer, at that’s where these were shot. Jordan, Andy, Harper and Juda are a beautiful family, inside and out. And so easy to photograph.
On Thanksgiving Day they took their little ones out to play and let me follow them around. Couldn’t have been a more gorgeous fall day – 70 and sunny in the hills of Kentucky. Do you see a tiny resemblance? Jordan’s my cousin, and since I’m an only child I’ve been given the honorary title of “aunt” to her awesome kids. I’m so lucky. 
Sometimes I wonder why I chose a profession that forces me to wake up at 5:30 a.m. on a weekend. True, I’m a morning person, but six days a week of groggy mornings a bit much for anyone. So why do I keep doing it Saturday after Saturday? Because that’s what it takes to make a gorgeous photograph – and that’s my job – (and I’m sure I subconsciously love it?)
Early rising is about catching the right light. The first and foremost important factor in all of my shoots is working with great light, and if we’ve booked an outdoor session that means I’ve probably scheduled it before 9 a.m. or directly before the sun sets.
Good light, or at least the light that works for my style of shooting, is soft and even and makes things look interesting when it hits the earth — that happens in the wee hours of the day (or under overcast skies) so it can’t be wasted!
Most people go to the mountains to ski. Some go to kayak or climb. I decided to go to turn my brain off and relax.
A design conference I decided to attend, HOW, was hosted in the mile high city this year, and only 2.5 hours away sat Vail, beckoning me for a minor spa retreat.
The Washington DC Cherry Blossom season is the perfect time to work on developing your floral photography technique. I spent Sunday morning doing just that – primarily to find some nice spring wallpaper for my new iPad. If you succumbed to the tablet craze, feel free to enjoy them yourself.
