$125 sitting fee includes DVD of all photos taken

I truly enjoy seeing the best in people, and nowhere is the best more evident than in still photographs (driver's license photos excepted).  Capturing specific moments in time can help us to remember both the milestones, and the everyday, ordinary events that add up to create a life.

What I'm Reading...

  • Hal Niedzviecki: The Peep Diaries: How We're Learning to Love Watching Ourselves and Our Neighbors
    If we have a home on the Web, death ceases to be absolute (or, only children love the attention)...
  • Laura I. Rendon: Sentipensante (Sensing/Thinking) Pedagogy: Educating for Wholeness, Social Justice, and Liberation
    What if there were room in the academy for wholeness, introspection and spirituality? Laura I. Rendon suggests that there IS. In fact, there MUST be.
  • David Sedaris: When You are Engulfed in Flames
    It's not that every essay is brilliant (which they are), but it's the little lines of his that sneak up on me and catch me off guard, causing me to laugh out loud when I'm in public places. Please, treat yourself to this book. And a cigarette, if you're so inclined.
  • Christian Lander: The Definitive Guide to Stuff White People Like
    Includes film festivals, microbreweries, non-profits, and standing still at concerts. Funny, because it's eerily true!
  • Cary Tennis: Since You Asked
    A collection of advice columns from Salon.com that is not only spot-on, but also literary. Tough love never sounded so elegant. This guy is my new hero.
  • Richard Louv: Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
    It's official: Kids need to play outside. (Really?) Beautifully written, with ideas to get whole families out of the house and into nature--where we belong.
  • Barry Lopez: Arctic Dreams
    The Arctic is this planet's canary in a coal mine. We need to listen to its song.
  • Chet Raymo: Natural Prayers
    Delicately written essays on the delicate, natural world. God can most definitely be found in the tiniest of things.
  • Segersten & Malterre: The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook (2nd ed.)
    Good food, good writing--good times!
  • David James Duncan: God Laughs and Plays
    Because I really think (s)he does.

What I'm Watching...

  • Dexter: Season 3 on DVD
    I'm not typically a fan of cop shows, but this one I can't resist! It's smart, funny, creepy and takes place in Miami. What's not to love? We've all got a little serial killer in us, don't we...
  • Food, Inc.
    Throughout this film, I just kept thinking, "At what cost?" Greed is an epidemic in our society, and guess who gets the short end of the stick?
  • American Idol
    I am unapologetic about this. Adam Lambert, you're my man...
  • Gran Torino
    Yeah, I cried at a Clint Eastwood movie. And you will, too. It's THAT good.
  • Slumdog Millionaire
    If you only see one movie this Oscar season, make it Slumdog. Trust me. You won't regret it.
  • Barack Obama
    Honestly. How could anyone have any doubt? C'mon, nation--don't let me (and the rest of us) down.
  • Sarah Palin...
    ...making an ass out of herself. Give me strength.
  • The Democratic National Convention
    Michelle. Hillary. Bill. They're all there. Let's get this party started!
  • Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride
    I want to be Hunter S. Thompson when I grow up. Gonzo, indeed.
  • The Daily Show
    So many 40-something women I know have a little crush on Jon Stewart...
  • Ghost Hunters
    Roto-Rooter workers by day, ghost hunters by night. How awesome is that?! I need to have a talk with my high school career counselor...
  • Countdown with Keith Olbermann
    Keith is both snarky and smart, and I just love that in a man...
  • The Dog Whisperer
    Cezar is a miracle worker. I know several people who could use his services...
  • Film: "In Burges"
    Lots of violence, lots of language, but Colin Farrell and Bruges. Just as I remember it.
