    Summer Fruits

    Here is an update on my tomato plants that I grew from seed this spring.  All of the seeds came from the Seed Savers Exchange and the mature plants are doing great. We’ve had at least 10-12 quarts of these babies. And about 50 of of these big mamma jammas.  Nicki and I just used 40 of them to make salsa (video coming soon, after Labor Day). Rebar stakes necessary for these heavy plants. More like a “tomato hedge” than just plants.

    Jacqui Konop-Buckley

    On Sunday I volunteered my time and photography to The First Annual Jacqui-Konop-Buckley Leukemia Adult Softball Tournament.  Jacqui was diagnosed with Myelogenous Proliferative Disorder/Leukemia on 6/3/09.   You can read about Jacqui’s story on her website hosted by CaringBridge.org.  Last fall, I photographed her and her husband, Rich, who is kind and very supportive.  She also has great friends who put together this benefit to help with her medical expenses. When there was a break in the adult softball game, these kids took the spotlight. There are many more photos in the online gallery too.  All proceeds from online print orders will benefit Jacqui.

    Garden on the Roof

    I used to live a different life.  Now I love being a wedding photographer in Pittsburgh.  In that other life, I was working as an engineer for an architecture firm.  There, I made some great friends who have since moved on (as I have) and started their own company.  Origin4Design is a women-owned Landscape Architecture and Laser Scanning firm run by two of my great friends, Rebecca and Laura. Earlier this month, they asked me to photograph the roof garden of the Heinz 57 Center in downtown Pittsburgh.  Rebecca had worked on the design of this space earlier in her career and wanted to showcase it among their new firm’s…

    Happy Father’s Day

    Happy Father’s Day to Rich Dembski, the best dad in the world!  Dad has given me many skills and gifts including my love of photography and my height. Me with “Mrs Claus,” who looks a lot like my dad.  And John O as Mr Claus. Maybe dad and I still look similar in this photo, but Nicki looks WAAAYYY different. Nicki torturing dad Nicki on a swing And here he is working.  A more recent photo from about a month ago, shot with my Canon G11. Dad and Ryan setting up a ladder to my roof.  Dad did an incredible amount of work on our house. Photo by dad with…

    Women (and Men) at Work

    It’s been a year since I became Randi Voss, Full Time Photographer and I don’t think I could be happier.  I love my new life and today I’m sharing photos from my time at “work.”  Great thing about this job, is that sometimes my family is kind enough to come and shoot with me. My husband, Ryan, works with me often, and  sister Nicki is starting to come to more weddings with me too.  Both are excellent photographers AND models when I need to check lighting for a certain shot.  Here, they are standing in where a bridal party is about to gather around.  I don’t know what I like…
