Well boys and girls my news paper interview is out today. I am pleased with how it turned out and hope that it might gain me a little more business in the area. If you would like to read the interview for yourself, it was written by Sally Slattery and can be found online, here.

Hello Boys & Girls!  It is the start of another new year, well really, we already nine days in...but who is counting? I have been busy with more cleaning jobs than I thought I would have this winter, also been busy fighting a cold I got thanks to my brother, thus neglecting things here; but today I had some time for photography and a bit of an update for the blog.  First: I am excited to

I get asked from time to time if I know where my photos that sell through Getty Image, end up. My answer to that is that I do know who buys an image, but not how it gets used, unless I happen to stumble upon one of my "children". Just today I was Googling myself (I know, how very pathetic.) because it can be a good way of finding out if anyone past friends and family have heard of your work, and

Just thought I would share with you all some news on the photography front. I have entered three contests this year and have heard back from one so far, that one being the Photographer's Forum magazine's 31st Annual Spring Photography Contest. I did not place, unfortunately, however I was a finalist. As such my photo will be part of the book being published by Photographer's Forum magazine; there

It seems spring might actually have come to us here in the North, granted there are some forecasted snow flurries for Thursday night, but today was warm, sunny...in a word gorgeous! Even the birds seem to be singing louder today. In appreciation of that fact, I am sharing some lovely spring flowers with you all.Happy spring everyone, enjoy it while it lasts, before you know it we will all being

Time to update my bio. It seems that in day to day living things don't change much but looking back at my two year old bio it is definitely time for an update! There are some funny catches to the wording I want to fix in favor of clarity, some additions to the work I have done since I wrote that last bio and an award won.So with some refining and a little reworking I hope this will be an

I might have mentioned a while back that a book publisher contacted me; they were looking to use one of my photos as a cover on an up coming book. Well the long awaited day has arrived, the book is now out!It is called "When The Bough Breaks" by Joanne W Jones, and is a memoir recalling the questions, challenges and then coming to terms with not being able to bear children.

This last month was another large scale (for me), planed photo shoot with some kind friends. I have wanted to try winter portraits so was hoping for snow, but not "below-zero-snot-freezes-in-your-nose" kind of weather. Wonder of wonders, that is just what I got.This year I wanted to practise my skills on a larger number of people in each shot, go outside my "usual" kinds of photos by trying to

I know it has been a while since I wrote anything to update this blog; my apologies to everyone. However I'm sure you all know how busy and distracting life can get.Anyway, I thought I would share one of my little goals for this year. I have always been fond of the strong, directional light in old master still life paintings. I have learned a bit more of how to copy that light in the past year,

I wasn't going to say anything, but here goes. I entered the International Photography Awards a few months back...and as I am something of a defeatist, didn't expect anything to come from it. Which nothing really has come from it; nothing huge anyway.I entered three photos, and the two still life photos I entered, to my wild surprise, actually made it into the Honorable Mention Gallery. Not much,

"Where have you been young lady?!" One of those things a mother might ask, and if any of you are still so gracious as to stop by and see if I am still breathing...thank you. Yes I am still breathing, you can all put your compacts away. It has been something of an adjustment with my father having passed away, almost five months now, helping clean out his things and help my mom find work. As the

Hey all. Sorry it has been so long for this promised photo update, I have been busy as I am sure you are and it is hot here which I am so not ready for; thus leaving me more in a melted/cranky frame of mind than one that is conducive to writing/posting and photo editing: So enough of my excuses, on to the photos.First off I had a crew of two for photo assist and seven models. Four guys I shot in

Hi all! Been a while. Life is busy, summers are crazy and I had a personal tragedy. My father died suddenly and unexpectedly on the third of April. I am trying to get back to life and shooting, thankfully I have some exciting and distracting plans for this coming Sunday.I have planned a big model shoot; compete with makeup, hair, locations and seven models! Ok, so I am shooting three women, but

Hi all, latest photo shoot from me would again be with S. She is a doll and is ever so kind as to come play model for me at odd times and learn with me. Yesterday she was to come over to try shooting in a wintry orchard, a sort of book end to last springs blooming orchard shoot. The place I picked for my setting is not even three minutes from my house and on the way there it started to snow; the

Last two photos were actually taken on two different days, but have the same new prop in them; two yards of purple and gold sari fabric. I was in the “big city” for car repair and hit the fabric store for some new material to drape in my still life’s. There were some really beautiful colors and patterns of fabric, but this was the only stuff that looked like it would be in an “old master” kind of

It wasn’t hard to twist my arm that I needed to shoot a person for a change and one evening my brother filled the bill.My light still set for the still life work I had done earlier in the day was also perfect for portrait work. I had my brother in a dress shirt, black tie and dress pants. I like the simpler clothes choice for portraits, and slightly dressed up is always more fun to shoot. My

Having set up for still life work, I tend to leave my equipment up for a few days at a time. It is just too much work to take up and down a backdrop, light, props and move furniture more than once at a time. It can make “normal” living a pain, but my living room is just big enough that if I move part of the furniture over to the far side of the room I can leave my things up and cut out some set

Having decided what my still life was going to be saying, the next day I went to put together some real soup fixings, only to find my carrots were limp and the greens too wilted to be any good. Another trip to the store was in order, good thing too, because I found out that tulips were now to be had! Hurrah! Spring is on its way, and another idea that was percolating could be accomplished. The

Getting groceries I was looking at the fresh produce and thinking how I should get some to play with still life again. I can’t remember now just what grabbed my attention, I think it was the green on carrots; but I ended up with carrots with greens on, lemons, pears, habanero peppers and some blood red roses. The result of these ingredients was inspiration and an overall drive to create, not bad

Just a quick up date; I had some more photos accepted by Getty this month, and two sold. One for the second time, and one new; they sold in Italy and Japan respectively...I may not be traveling but my photos sure are.I also had a Blurb book printed to have a nice review of the last years work. Lastly the shoes were to show a friend and are unrelated to photography.Hope that you are all enjoying

Not much of a post from me today I am afraid. But I wanted to share a few of my favorite shots from last week. I had a friend come model for me, unfortunately it has been too long since I shot people, so it took a while for me to warm up and get across what I wanted. In the end I got some work I am pleased with....however it has led me to consider the fact I should plan shooting time, once a week

I really truly cannot decide which of these versions I like best. Plain. Textured. Or black and white. I guess that is hanging me up is not so much which I like best, I like them all, but rather which to send to Getty. Once an image is accepted they have exclusivity, which is fine by me, but if they take the one I can't do anything with the other two. So which do I send? One? All three?Decisions.

I have been wrecking my knees in the last few weeks, namely doing still life photos. It is not the still life itself that is killing my knees, but rather the fact I have to currently shoot them on the floor. I’m not exactly complaining I love doing still life! But the perfectionist in me has to get it right, so I end up doing something over, and over, and over. Plus I just really love doing

You might remember a few weeks back I was blogging about getting my photos into the Flickr collection with Getty Image. I have been trying to have patience as I wait for keywording and the selection process, it’s not so bad really, but when you are excited about something it is hard to wait. The 20th of the month is statement time, and this month “Huzzah”! I finely sold my first photo! I hope

Part of me is embarrassed to admit this, and part of me is very proud of the very thing I am so embarrassed about. What deep dark secret am I so shy about sharing? Nothing as juicy or salacious as you might think.

Lucy was having one of those days...the world felt like it was on end and off kilter.She just wasn't sure where her other leg had gotten off too. The suitcase was suspiciously light for a girl used to carrying a full set of bowling gear on vacation. Someone locked her out of the motel room, again.

...momentarily anyway. I am still a busy, busy girl, I would say that keeps me out of trouble but I seem to stay out of trouble any way.So anywho; I thought you my many, many readers would like to see what I was up to this last weekend. You may or may not remember that I was planing a Trash The Dress day, and was looking for clothing advice, well I had to scale things back a bit (like in Eddie

As you may or may not know there is this thing that is popular now, particularly among wedding photographers, that is something called “Trash the Dress”. Some people actually do completely trash the dress their model is using; roll in mud, bath in cave pools, etc. This is something I have really want to try for a while, do the whole make up, fancy dress contrasted against some odd surroundings…

(For those of you that are wondering, Getty Image is one of the largest

I am sorry to have to say this but; I have not been inspired, again, this week. I don't know if it is the heat, my current schedule, or maybe I am getting a little board with blogging. But here I am. Maybe I should be mixing it up a little more....Well this last week I did have some fun things happen. I went out to see "Julie & Julia" with a girl friend. I had one photo shoot day, just still life
