Sometimes a picture doesn’t quite capture the beauty of nature. These flowers were gorgeous and I love the aluminum vase that my mom found from long ago and gave to me.

A vintage Ritz can with coordinating flowers! My mom found the old can when she was cleaning out and after helping out at an event, I got to take these flowers home...
While photographing this arrangement, I noticed the can was leaking water... Oh well, can't have everything. 😁

A stormy night...this is my biggest adventure rece

A stormy night...this is my biggest adventure recently. As the sky was filled with lightning, I headed over to the largest open space near our home to see if I could capture a shot. Luckily the storm was still quite a ways off, so I didn’t get wet and I landed this picture. I was hoping for a lightning streak, but instead had to settle for these amazing clouds.

In this session, Lawrence will talk about how he converted his Jeep into a photographer’s mobile home/office; how he plans his travels and shoots; the photography gear he travels with and much much more.

I've always wondered... What does homemade really

I've always wondered... What does homemade really mean? I'm probably a little lax on the definition because I think if it baked in my oven, it is homemade.

Yep, these came out of a can, but they did bake in my oven. If it makes you feel any better...I made some gluten free biscuits for my daughters from a mix... Those just weren't quite as photogenic.

I added butter, Mike's Hot Honey to one (thanks, Elaine, for letting me try this at @coznlinda ) and apple butter to another! So good...

Check out these beauties! I realized something very important about myself this past year. I only have the patience to grow miniature plants. So here they are, my dwarf sunflowers. They are half the size, but they bloom in 2 months! No, they are not the size of a plate, but I am very content.

"Photography Outside Golden Hour" with Simanta V. Mahanta (@simexposure)

Golden hour is the holiest time for (most) photographers to ply their art and enrich their portfolios. While there is good reason for it, stunning imagery is there to be captured outside these hours as well. Sim Mahanta has taken some of his personal favorites in daylight. With his tips, Sim will help you unravel the possibilities and discuss how to work the light conditions in your favor.
