If there’s one thing I pour my heart and soul into each year, it’s my Christmas minis. And in this case, specifically my Studio Christmas Minis- From the Beginning. Creating life size sets is my jam. This story begins 13 years ago when my daughter was a baby. I would sew costumes for her to […]

Many of the locations I photograph don’t have too many passers-by, but Centennial Park is quite popular for walkers, runners, and bikers.
