Rancho Reubidoux Retail

One of my favorite blogs comes from Reuben Munoz @ Rancho Reubidoux.  http://ranchoreubidoux.com He is an incredible artist who can do it all!  He paints, he photographs, he designs landscapes, he writes- his eye for beauty and diverse abilities are obvious in everything he touches.

Now, we can have some of Reuben's beautiful imagery in our own homes (or on our person) via his online shop. http://society6.com/reubenmunoz.

I was thrilled to see the photograph I "inspired" in the mix!

My Website

After all of these years as a photographer, I finally have a website!  My dear friend Andrew @ Andrew Hislop Graphics http://andrewhislop.com/  made it happen.  These days, as a visual artist, you are not ligit without a website. We will see where it will take me!

On Saturday I had another shoot with Dasia at my studio.  It had been a very long time since I'd done anything there as I have been doing only outdoor portraits lately. I love that place so much and always feel so much better after having spent some time in it's "warm embrace".  I know that sounds funny but I don't know how else to describe it. It is as if the rest of the world just slips away when I am there and I feel as if everything will be okay.

My long-time friend and professional MUA, Selena did Dasia's make-up and it was stunning. She had never had her make-up done before and it was only her second photo-shoot but she came off looking like a pro. There is something so incandescent in that girls beauty and she is just such a pleasure to be around.

Here is a link to the incredible work some dedicated folks on San Juan Island, WA are doing to help the local endangered Orcas/Killer Whales.  Pretty amazing!
