Hurrying through the last of the summer
I have a bit of a confession to make. I’ve been back to work for over a month now, and while part of me is enjoying the routine chaos that is my job, the other part of me still wants to be footloose and fancy-free, traveling Europe with my backpack and rail pass. To be [...]

Senior picture time
I do intend to finish my trip journal at some point… and I also plan to get through my trip pics… somehow. All 36 GB of them. I will. Honest. Anyway, in the meantime, I had the privilege last Saturday of going down to Old Sac to meet up with a former student (he’s attending [...]
We interrupt these trip pictures to bring you a magazine cover!
Back in May, I got my first paid photography job — photographing some San Francisco-related things for a cover and the cover story for the magazine The Bourbon Review. Go me! Here’s a link to the article (opens a PDF)–the pictures on pages 1, 4, and 6 are mine, as is the shoreline one on [...]
“…Her eyes as clear as centuries/ Her silky hair was brown…”
My post title is from a Paul Simon song that I’ve liked for years… it somehow seemed to fit for my coworker’s lovely daughter, whom I was privileged to be able to take pictures of a couple of weeks ago. Kristin, she’s beautiful. :-) . . . .
So many good pictures that I don’t even know where to begin
[By the way, yes, I know this post broke the main page of my blog. I have no idea what's wrong, and this has been an ongoing problem, but I'm trying to get a ninja to help me out with it. Grrrrr.] Here are the last of the pictures from Thursday’s photo shoot — the [...]
I want to eat his cheeks
Holly is a friend of mine from… well, it’s kind of a long story, but she grew up in Davis (just outside of Sacramento) and went to Cal Poly at about the same time as me, and now she and her husband live just outside of London. Anyway, last summer she and her husband generously [...]
They grow up quickly
I love taking pictures of people’s kids, and it’s been a privilege to take pictures of my coworker Laura’s granddaughters several times over the past year. As I was working on processing the most recent batch from right before Easter, I was struck by how much the girls had grown up. I mean, I know [...]
Before and After
I don’t usually do much Photoshopping of the pictures that I take. I shoot in RAW and I post-process, but that’s only using Canon’s free Digital Photo Pro app, and usually the only thing I really do in there is sharpen and tinker with white balance. But for the photo shoot I did of my [...]
Sisterly love
IMG_5566-2, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. This was the last picture from my photoshoot of my coworker’s granddaughters during spring break. Shortly after this, hunger- and naptime-induced meltdowns ensued. I love this picture, though. :-) .
I really need to learn how to use my flash
Pic from today. I call it “mistake with fill flash.”, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I’ve got a great flash–Canon Speedlite 430ex. The problem lies in the fact that I really don’t know how to use it. I can muddle through the settings well enough when I have time, but when I’m in a pressured situation [...]
