Best of the Best 2022 Here we are 2023 is knocking on the door, and we are about to say farewell to 2022. Hopefully quietly, with no fireworks involved, but I know better than to think we can get that lucky! So we will just stay home and be there to comfort our confused doggos. Really the best place for us to celebrate anyways :-)
A first peek at some of the footage from our trip to South Africa. Such a magical time. We traveled to a variety of awesome locations; The Kruger National Park, the small fishing town of Dullstroom, St Lucia along the Indian Ocean, Cathedral Peaks in the Central Drakensburg and finally the town of Clarens that I hope to someday call home (at least
So I had to stop myself and ask, why is something happening halfway around the world affecting me so much? I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places on this spinning orb.

The camera was in LOVE with Leo today. What a wonderful time we had exploring the dunes. We had the WHOLE place to ourselves! We were out on the dunes for hours and only ever saw one other person at a distance. It was wonderful... So peaceful, and I was able to let Leo run without fear. A couple more weeks and the
We had a wonderful weekend escape out at Muskegon State Park. The dogs kept us busy and also gave us a laugh or two. Life wouldn't be the same full wonderful joy without them. So many things I can attribute to my fur children. They keep my healthy by getting my butt off the couch to walk them. They keep me calm by
I love to edit on the road, to still have the feel of the place in my blood while working the images. However, it is often the ones I work on when I get back to the studio that are dearest to me. I am often too in the moment to see the completed image in my head when I am on the road. Knowing
