    Downhill on Two Sticks

    Photos from my ski day on Wednesday at Seven Springs Resort, near Pittsburgh.  Most, if not all, of the snow at Seven Springs was naturally made by the blizzard earlier this month, which made for great conditions. If I had snowshoes, I would have gone for a hike. Jay skiing backwards Jay’s new K2’s next to my OAB Salomons So happy to be riding the ski lift.  Photo by Jay. Jay getting some sweet air. Too cool for school Jay has a peacock butt like his sister Jessi did at her wedding last year. There were very few skiers on a Wednesday afternoon, and we were thankful for that.

    Snowy Night

    Hey, did anyone notice that it was snowy in Pittsburgh? I sure did! Some photos from last night while Ryan was clearing snow.  I helped with a garden shovel, but it was not as effective as Ryan’s actual snow shovel. Winter wonderland! He is going to be tired from throwing snow. Looks cool! Looks like an off-camera light, huh?  Lilac near the McLaughlin”s house. Self portrait next to parking-space-saving cones. I made this for Ryan on his windshield.  It was covered in snow 2 minutes later. There he is!  Ryan, from Minnesota, requires no coat. Brr!!!

    Three Words to Define a Style

    Next week, I’ll be in the DC area for a workshop with Dane Sanders called “Fast Track Photographer.”  One of the pre-workshop assignments is called “Five Photos, Three Words.”  Here are the five photos that I feel most capture my style.  The three words part is for you to decide. Please, please leave a comment with your three words on this blog, or on facebook, or email me so I know what you think.  Pretty please? Sincerely,  Randi

    20 Lists of 10 in 2010

    Hi!  So I have more great photos to share from my snorkeling vacation in Florida, but first I wanted to share a to do list for 2010. I was turned on to this concept by two friends.  First, I’m not one to make resolutions as a calendar date means nothing to my success or failure at some task.  But this one seemed different. The email that I got from Erin was super intriguing…”So in case you  haven’t heard, my friend Nina, who was inspired by  her friend Maria, has begun a fun new tradition for 2010 … making 20 lists of 10 for 2010.  Of your goals, dreams, plans, wants,…

    Änna C’s Portraits in the Strip District

    Right before I left for my trip to Alaska (and I mean the night before),  I had the privilege to shoot with Christina Montemurro. We met Änna in the strip district.  I had a great time and got to work with more off-camera lighting, which I don’t do too often.  (I’m a natural light kind of girl, but off-camera lighting is Christina’s favorite and I like that about her.) Änna is a jazz singer and a student at Duquesne University….and a beautiful girl! Here are 3 of my faves from that shoot. I love this face! You can visit her blog to see Christina’s photos plus a few more of…
