The Owl Purse

This purse is one of my most favorite things. I was looking at it the other day and decided that it would be the perfect subject for my blog. I really love photographing products, so keep checking out my blog for more great shots. Also, be prepared to see more owls, there is a lot more where this came from.

The Couch to 5K

For this post I wanted to talk about the new running plan that I have been working on. It is called the Couch to 5K (C25K), a 9 week running program designed to take you from lopping off of the couch, which is where I was, to running a 5k in just over 2 months. Today I finished week three, day 2 and I feel better than I have in a long time. The great thing about this system is that it starts you off in intervals and slowly works you up to running longer times and distances. I have tried before to start running but this is the first time that I am really enjoying it. One of the biggest factors on why I am succeeding is that my good friend Des comes over 3 times a week to run with me and my husband runs with me on Sundays. If I were to be really honest I probably would have given up by now without both of them to motivate me.

If you want to check out the program just go to:

I promise you'll love it.

The Guthrie Theatre and Some Business Portraits

A few weeks ago I went to the Guthrie Theatre with my very good friend Lisa Jaster to take some business portraits for her new website ( www.lmjoriginals.com ). I had such a great time photographing her in the amazing building. If you've never been to the Guthrie before I highly recommend taking a walk around. There is not an ugly spot in the whole building and I was so excited by the wonderful light that all of the hugh windows were giving me. I want to thank Lisa for letting me take her business portraits and for spending the afternoon with me. I had a blast.

The images above are some of my favorites from that afternoon.
