Hot Red Tights

I met Martin and Kelly through my super, independent-woman friend and co-worker Chrysta. We met up yesterday evening and shot their engagement photos in downtown Ann Arbor. Kelly is a costume/fashion designer, so of course they had to dress in style for their photos! Big thanks to the pair for trudging through the wet and snowy streets, especially Kelly in those impossible shoes!

ARCHIVES: Winter on another continent

This winter weather has me thinking about warmer temperatures, and not because I am cold and impatient for summer. I actually enjoy the winters months, much more than I enjoy sweating during the summer. It's the gray tones and lack of sunshine that has my mind drifting to a warmer, sunnier, winter I experienced in May of 2009. Well of course we all know that winter is not in May, unless of course, you are in Africa! Here are a couple of links and a photo from my five-week long trip to Africa. Perhaps it will help your mind wander over this wintry weekend?

Bloggin'

Hello blog world! I might be a little late to the game but I figure there is always room for one more! Welcome to my photo blog, where I hope to post and talk about the things I am doing, seeing and most importantly photographing!

Since I have spent my morning off from work learning how to manipulate Blogger (thanks Chris Bergin!) to my own design, I haven't taken any new photos today. So instead, I will take the opportunity to show off my cat Lucy. Here she is in all her lazy glory.
