These fruits and vegetables can be found at the Green City Farmers Market in Chicago.

Makes me miss summer!!

Bellagio Photograph in antique frame

One of my most popular images from Bellagio, Italy framed inside an antique frame. I found these frames at the antique market in Chicago last summer. I have had these empty for so long because I couldn't decide what to put inside. The frames are matching which is a rare find and I would love for them to be sold as a pair if possible. The pair would be $500 + shipping.

The photograph is 16x20 framed with antique glass so there is no glare. It looks more like a painting in person than a photograph. The total frame and photo measure 25" W x 29" H

Ryan in a hat by Willo


I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Alicia from Etsy. Her shops are http://willo.etsy.com/ and http://willotoo.etsy.com/ She knits the most beautiful hats, booties, and more for adults and kids. Both boys and girls. Please check out her shop. They are a great gift item. She is based out of the UK but she ships all over. My items arrived in about a week. It takes her about 2 weeks to custom make the pieces so I would suggest putting in your Christmas orders ASAP!!


Ryan's Mom was nice enough to allow me to photograph Ryan in a hat by Willo. Alicia handcrafted this beautiful newsboy cap. The cap worked perfectly with Ryan because of his blue eyes. The cap can be purchased here for $25 : http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32588138

The road less taken


Just posted a photograph on Etsy from my recent photographic adventures this summer. Taken in black and white of a windy road in the country. Everyone comes to a point in their life where they have to take the easy road, or the road less taken. This is a beautiful interpretation of this.
