Hey, there! So, my favorite picture-taking time of the year – RenFaire – is upon us again and I had to share the first art piece I’ve made from it so far. Because I love it. Can’t help it. I named it “She Walks Through The Faire” and it will soon be available on our […]

Looking at the lustrous photos of glamorous movie stars, I was intrigued by the idea of attempting to duplicate that look. So, I strong-armed The […]

The weekend before last, we had the honor of shooting a renewal of wedding vows in celebration of a 50th anniversary!

Both Silent Jay and I have put a couple of sneak peeks on the Shona Skye Facebook page, and there will be a blog post coming up with more pics, as well. But, I thought, this being Monday, we’d […]
I’m on a new kick – to take portraits of hands performing their work or talents. I, of course, started with The Hubs‘ hands, playing the guitar… I took a bunch of different angles and finished some in black and white. I can’t decide if I prefer the desat color or the black and […]
This weekend, I was brought in to shoot photos of a Trunk or Treat event for the employee families at the administration offices of Numotion, a wheelchair and mobility company. It was their first such event and my first event of the Halloween season! It was a huge success and even Chuck E. Cheese himself put in […]
So, Sunday night, The Hubs and I had joined an event being hosted for an Alton area photography group at the McPike Mansion, one of the most haunted houses in the Midwest and once featured on a television program documenting the Scariest Places on Earth. And, now that she’s got some free time, as her run as […]
