Still trying to find that motivation so I’m going to start a project which I hope will help me with motivation but also clean some of the rust off to help me get ready for my big trip to Greece in a few weeks. Starting tomorrow I plan to use my Lensbaby Velvet 56 every … More Motivation
My work schedule this year allows me to get a run in every morning without having to rush to get to school. I love it, and even though I’m not a morning person per se, I’ve learned that I really enjoy getting out on the road just as the sun is starting to breech the … More My morning runs
I took my camera along on my walk that afternoon. I knew I would have several opportunities for some photos. The light was pretty flat that afternoon, but I really like this photo and all the lines of the trees. I should probably crop the big dark tree on the right, but I kind of … More Black and white
We were in Angel Fire, NM over Christmas. I ventured out one afternoon for a walk.

It was a crazy looking sky with the … More The Calm Before the Storm

I had put out a seed packet of wildflower mix as an experiment last year and surprisingly these came back. I guess I didn’t realize there were some perennials … More Close up
I rented a Lensbaby Velvet 56 a couple of weeks ago, and I must say, I’m a fan. I will admit I wasn’t sure what I would think about it because normally I like a crisp image. But that bokeh and dreamy image that is possible with that lens is addictive, and I have found … More Macro
Hey there! I’m Laura, and this is where I will be posting my photography journey. Like so many others, my passion for photography really took off when my boys were born. I was always the one with my camera at parties, sporting events, and at school. So naturally it became a hobby. At one point, … More Welcome
