Queen Elsa, Bring on the Cold!
Frozen is all over the place these days, and it isn’t just Disneyland I’m talking about. While Christmas shopping last night, I saw Frozen merchandise EVERYWHERE. There were dolls, toys, games, clothes, blankets, wrapping paper, bags, cards, Christmas stockings, and decorations… just to name a few things I happened to notice last night. The other…

A Rainy Day with Tinker Bell and Fawn
Rainy days at Disneyland are always a favorite of mine. A week or two ago we were blessed with a few rainy days so I grabbed my camera and made my way to the park. During one of these visits I saw there was pretty much no line to visit Tinker Bell so I stopped…

All in a Moment – the End of Mad T Party
One of the things I love so much about photography is the capturing of moments. I could write on and on and on about something and still not capture the emotion of an event. However, I could attend the same event and capture a quick photo (sometimes intentionally, sometimes not) that captures and conveys the…

Anna: The Warmth of A Smile
Some smiles can warm the coolest days… On a warm day, they are just frosting to an already lovely day. Last Sunday Anna had a particularly warm and charming smile.

The Steel Tree
Kansas City, it turns out, is a really fun place to visit. I really didn’t expect much of anything when I was preparing to visit recently for a Reliv conference. However, once the conference was over and I began to explore, my eyes were opened…literally. Kansas City is known for its fountains. These were awesome.…

Princess Aurora in Black and White
Today I’m continuing on with my series of black and white photos for the week’s theme of the same thing. Yesterday, I took this picture of beautiful Princess Aurora in Mickey’s Soundsational Parade at Disneyland. I will admit, it was hard for me to take the color away from this picture because it really was a…

Disneyland – May 25, 2014 – Evil Queen, Musical Chairs, and Mickey's Soundsational Parade
On May 25th, the Evil Queen was visited by the Mad Hatter and Alice. Later in the day, she did not return the favor and visit Alice, the Mad Hatter, or Ragtime Robert when they played Musical Chairs at Coke Corner. She didn’t appear at Mickey’s Soundsational Parade either. This is all fine though because…

She's Sleeping Beauty But She's Awake
One of the most uncomfortable things for me as an amateur photographer also happens to make for the best pictures. It makes me insanely uncomfortable when someone I am taking a photo of looks directly into the lens. I guess I like to think that as a photographer I’m just another hole in the…
