    The Housepainter with the Worn Down House

    July 17th, 2011 | Kids, Personal, about jo | jo | No Comments

    The Purple Cow

    My Why

    May 26th, 2011 | about jo | jo | 6 Comments

    I have been asked the profound question of “WHY” I do what I do.  It’s literally taken me weeks of thinking and pondering this simple question that was asked of me.  Why am I a photographer? The one thing that stands out to me was the question that my husband asked me 7 years ago [...]

    Found Myself!

    March 7th, 2010 | Personal, about jo | Joanne | 2 Comments

    Three years ago I took a week off from my full time job to attend WPPI in Las Vegas.  I didn’t know a soul.  I roomed with a couple girls I had met through a Photoshop class and was a little worried that they might leave me in the bathtub and steal my organs.  I [...]

  • Words Cannot Express….

    April 16th, 2009 | Personal, about jo | Joanne | 5 Comments

    Today was Avalon’s big yearly appointment at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for all her cardiology testing.  She is doing wonderfully and everything was fine which is always what you want to hear. It’s hard to believe or even remember how upside down our world was 5 years ago.  There were days I thought my heart [...]

  • Remembering our lives 5 years ago…..

    November 25th, 2008 | Personal, about jo | Joanne | 12 Comments

    This week 5 years ago was (hopefully) the worst week of our lives that we will ever have to experience.  It was Thanksgiving week…….we airlifted Avalon to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (November 23rd) and she underwent emergency open heart surgery (November 24th).   She was 9 weeks old.   Our world had been turned upside down on [...]
