I thought I’d introduce y’all to my new addiction: Pinterest!

my pinterest boards © solaisphoto & kara hudson

It’s a site where you can ‘pin’ images that appeal to you. I was skeptical at first, but I’ve started using it for a whole variety of purposes. I pin pretty things, photography inspiration, recipes/foods I want to try, things for my house, projects that look interesting, and just things that make me smile.

You can categorize your pins or just jumble them all together. Plus it’s a lot of fun to see what other people pin! At this point I’m a full fledged addict (and I might need an intervention!).

Come follow my boards there: http://www.pinterest.com/solaisphoto. If you’re not a member, email me and I’ll hook you up with an invite!

self portraits

June 23, 2011 – 9:11 am

I said back in January that I was going to post more personal stuff … and what’s more personal than self portraits. Only, the problem is that my arms aren’t long enough! (Ok, I could have used a wider lens, but then my nose would have been huge!) I cracked myself up taking these, though. Fewer than half the photos were in focus because I was laughing so hard I couldn’t hold the camera steady!

At any rate, here are the results. I’m thinking next time I need to break out the remote! (Oh, and maybe smile while I’m concentrating!)

travel | new orleans

Anyone who knows me knows that New Orleans is one of my very favorite places in the whole world. I have thought about moving there more times than I can count – even after Katrina, or maybe especially after Katrina when I felt the city needed people moving in rather than out. Unfortunately “photographer” wasn’t a crucial job in the aftermath and recovery … and other personal things kept me close to Atlanta.

Still … I take every opportunity I can to visit my favorite city. I’ve photographed many weddings there and hopefully will photograph more in the future. And I’ve taken a fair number of long weekends and vacations there, which I will absolutely continue to do in the future.

I have so many thousands of images of the city; maybe someday I’ll sit down and put together a book. Until then, have a few of my favorites to enjoy!

meet phoebe

January 31, 2011 – 8:42 am

Meet Phoebe – one of the two hooligans who share my house.  She’s the climber, the inquisitive one, the one who likes high places.  At least someone in the house is getting use out of the exercise equipment!

So as one of my personal goals for this year, I’m going to push myself in front of the camera – on the “wrong” end as it were – as much as possible this year.

a fresh start for 2011

It’s a new year and a brand new start here at Solais. 2010 was a significant year for me – not so much in doing things or photographing or business building, but in soul searching, thinking, reflecting. I took a big step back from photography and spent a lot more time exploring other options and figuring out what I truly wanted.

I love dragonflies. The stained glass version above is one that I bought this fall during a weekend spent in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

stormy weather

April 10, 2009 – 7:20 pm

I love extreme weather of all sorts. I sometimes, in my crazier moments, wonder what it would be like to sell everything and take up life as a storm chasing photographer. Then I remember that I don’t really like camping, cheap hotels, or bad diner food.

Anticipating Spring

March 6, 2009 – 11:54 pm

We’ve had crazy weather here in Georgia this past week.  Sunday gave us 5 hours of snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.  By Wednesday it had all melted.  And tomorrow it’s supposed to hit a high of 75.  Although I really enjoyed the snow while it lasted, I’m very much anticipating spring; I’m ready for warmer weather, digging in the garden, flowers and green (not brown) grass.

Here’s a preview of what I’ve planned for the front garden this year to whet your appetite for the coming season!  (BTW, this image is available as a fine art print from my personal photography gallery.  Contact us for more information.)
