Stay tuned for a few selects.. in the meantime, backstory. I’ve photographed here twice now and it’s such a perfect location for what she does. As a transformational coach and psychic, she works with people to open internal windows, meet thresholds, reflect and grow. Sekrit Theatre is so full of possibility for visual metaphor. Before shooting I walked around and felt into the place. What would speak to who SHE is. How would I photograph her in this canvas to help illuminate her uniqueness? It’s soulful, fun, creative and spiritual practice each time I get behind the camera because that’s me whether I’m guiding students in yoga or witnessing you with a camera. The yoga of photography. If you are interested in booking your own spirit based creative photo shoot, I’m your person. photos of me by

I’m in the desert this week. For a few days, Joshua Tree is my home away from home as I participate in a yoga of sound retreat. I walked the dusty dirty path in the pitch black night, relishing the blanket of silence and absence of light. I approached the door to my room, looked up and saw this perfect circle of muted light around the bright illumination of the moon. Somehow the clouds had also mostly disappeared from the inner circle.

My next Art of Seeing course begins Tuesday, May 3rd and runs four Tuesdays from 6:30-8 CST.

In this course, you can be sure you’ll learn some hard skills of how to use your DSLR or smartphone. You’ll also learn some soft skills.

This course is for you if:

I’m thrilled to share share my personal and professional photography work and experiences with you. In this course, I’ll guide you to a deeper understanding of how to capture powerful portraits and transformative travel images. In the process, you may find some part of yourself transformed as well. That’s the hope!

This is a course for beginners who are ready to have a clearer sense of how to capture better images. Maybe you want to take your family photos up a notch? Or you are an entrepreneur who would like to have better shots for your branding stories or website. This course is also for seasoned photographers who need a dose of inspiration, some community, a new way of looking through your camera. No expensive equipment necessary but great if you have it. I love my iphone13 and capture some amazing images on it. A great photograph is not about the equipment, it’s about the impact and soul of an image.

Expect to leave this course with a stronger sense of basic tools and photographic concepts. More than that, I’ll share in ways that will catalyze your curiosity about the healing power creative process. Photography is a wonderful way to explore your inner and outer worlds in meaningful ways.

As image makers we witness and reflect the world around us in ways that resonate with our life experiences and souls. With any creative pursuit — living your life is your biggest one — we have the opportunity to change lenses, get curious and explore differing perspectives.

I hope you’ll join me for a this fun and exploratory workshop where you will leave informed, inspired and moved to share your own unique perspective.
