Photographer’s comfort, fear, and my Belize adventure
{I wrote this yesterday before Boston’s tragedy – I think the fear part will ring true with MANY of us} Photography is what brings me comfort. It’s how I show love to the world – it’s how I make people smile and remember that there IS goodness on the planet. After Jim died, though, it was nearly impossible for me to pick up my camera. A few weeks after he passed away, I shot a maternity session for a great friend. On the way home got physically ill on the side of Highway 13 because all I could think about is that I did not want her to ever lose someone like I did. I became consumed by fear for my friends and family. All I could...
Read MoreAn amazing 2012 – what will 2013 bring?
My 2012 was amazing, to say the least! I have been in awe of how much good can come from one photo, and one gift to a friend. We have been named to so many “Best of ” lists all over the world that John, Julie, & I can no longer keep track. My business has grown exponentially, but the best part is that we have been able to spread happiness and love all over the world. I am a happy, happy girl! I woke up this morning and decided to stalk some sunrises, sea smoke, and fishing tugs to welcome in the new year. Please enjoy my gift to you . Also – my travel schedule for 2013 will be intense – I cannot wait to share the locations for my...
Read MoreBayfield AppleFuss – uh I mean AppleFest – Parade
Every year I do photos of the Bayfield AppleFest Parade from the back of a float. I love getting photos of the crowd! This year was a bit different because the float was actually for John & I – usually I just hitch a ride on someone elses… It was crazy to see all of the people who recognized us, but it was also equally hilarious to see the look on peoples’ faces who couldn’t figure out WHO the heck we were . Here are a few of my faves from the parade – you can see more on my Facebook page as well! Contact ME! | Subscribe to Stonehouse Photography by...
Read MoreBayfield Blueberries
Bayfield has some amazing orchards and blueberry farms. Our friend Mike has a blueberry farm named “Garage Mahal”, named after the ginormous garage on the property. They are starting to get some ripe berries, so he needed some slave labor (aka my husband, Jim) to pick some fruit. Our dog Scout is also a big fan of blueberries, so he helped as well . You can see him searching for the ripe berries, and then picking them off gently with his teeth. Such a smart puppy! Contact ME! | Subscribe to Stonehouse Photography by...
Read MoreBayfield Blessing of the Fleet 2012
The annual Bayfield Blessing of the Fleet was held yesterday. Its one of my favorite events to shoot – most of the boat owners are my friends, and it highlights the things that make us special! Lake Superior is an incredible body of water to live on, and the people who make their living working on it are amazing. This year I got to shoot my husband coming in on his new boat - Jim is a guide and professional fisherman – hence why I do a lot of fishing – related photography. Please check out more of the photos on Facebook here: Bayfield Blessing on the Fleet 2012. Please check out more...
Read MoreRainbow over Madeline Island
Some days I cannot believe I get to live here. Yesterday was one of those days! This rainbow shot was taken on the beach down the street from my house. We had really amazing weather all day yesterday, and all the moisture in the atmosphere created this absolutely spectacular double rainbow. The photo itself is actually a composite of 5 images. I could not get the true scope of the arc with just one shot! If you’d like to buy a print – please see below the photo. Thanks!
