Are you ready for Part 2?!! Happy Monday Friends! Let’s start the week off with one of my favorite populations to photograph! High School Seniors! But let’s start from the beginning of Day 2 of the CONFIDENCE Photography Workshop! We started the day with demystifying the whole concept of metering. For some reason, the photography [...]
Today is the second Monday of the month which means there is a NEW Photography Exercise at the SOAR! blog this morning! Yeah!! I’m teaching on the concept of Less is More, and how to apply this to our images. I’m not talking about cropping your images on the computer. That works in the beginning, [...]
Kari of MamaBloo has a new Photo Tale for April! I don’t know about you, but I LOVE her Photo Tales! Today, she’s talking about the realities of lighting in her home. I couldn’t help but think that the timing of this Photo Tale was great with two earlier posts I wrote this month on [...]
I want to introduce you to a very special lady. Her name is Sreyown Sun. She lives at the orphanage in Cambodia and was our only female student when Brian and I did a photography workshop/photo shoot around the city. Sreyown is not a mother from having her own children. But she is an amazing [...]

For those of you who have been following Me Ra and Brian’s Thailand Adventures Part Deux, you know – like I do – what an amazing (both in good and bad ways) trip it has been so far. I gotta tell ya, I had been working on a photo tale to share with you [...]
Our life has been made up of vomit and diarrhea the last seven days. Yep, there is no nice way to put it but just say it as it is. If this had lasted for one to three days, I don’t think I’d use a whole blog post to share. BUT as of last night [...]
I feel like if you give me a laptop, a cup-o-coffee, and some time alone, I can tell a pretty good story. Better yet, put me among friends, feed me, and give me the floor and I can PERFORM a good story. But I am still working on telling the story with my camera. [...]

He was sitting next to me. The plane was headed to San Diego. It was the middle of December, and I felt so exhausted I chose not to introduce myself—just close my eyes and rest. And then the storm came. It was the worst storm that month for San Diego. [...]
