About Me

An avid people & pet photographer, this blog is an easier way to share stories and photos with family and friends that are scattered across the globe. I'm a blonde who finally went back to her natural color after years of being a redhead. I'm in love with photography, reading, movies, live music, history and my Italian Greyhound Dante. Born in Norway, I've been living in SoCal since I was five. {Photo by Nancy Orozco}

Guess What?

So guess what you guys? It turns out it's REALLY hard to maintain two blogs, plus a day job and a photography business. As much as I'm so emotionally vested in this blog that has basically been my virtual diary for almost three years, it just makes sense to do everything over on the Ellingsen Photography Blog. Especially since that one is as much about my photography as it is about my personal life and, well, everything I've talked about on this blog. :)

Thank you to all those who have already joined me over there, and if you haven't already, you can add it to whatever blog reader you use by clicking here.

I'll still keep this space up, because the historian in me won't let me lose all of this, but there won't be any new posts in the foreseeable future.

Much love to all of you who have been regular commenters and readers here!

Happy International Women's Day!

Over on the Ellingsen Photography blog, I'm paying homage to the amazing women I grew up around in honor of International Women's Day! Who was a big influence on you?

P.S. How do you like the new blog header? :)

I'm Famoose!

Nancy has blogged the photos she took of me for my website - I'm in love! Absolutely in love. I'm so grateful for her! I think my favorite is the last one in the post. :)

For the shoot I wore the Welcoming Wave Dress from Modcloth, sweater tights from Target, a belt I got at Macys ages ago, and boots I found on the sale rack at DSW two years ago. The necklace is made from costume jewelry we inherited from my grandmother and the amber ring was hers as well.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everybody! I’m so excited and thankful for all the love and encouragement I’ve received this week, now that Ellingsen Photography is officially open for business! You guys are awesome, for reals.

It’s looking to be a busy weekend for me – tonight my friends and I are heading out to see Richard Cheese, who never fails to disappoint. If you haven’t heard of him before, go check him out now! Soooo fun. Hopefully the rain isn’t too bad – as evidenced above, so far this morning it’s been pretty, but the forecast doesn’t look good. At least it’s not snow, right? :)

I’m downsizing my storage unit tomorrow (luckily the new one is practically right next to the old one), heading to the shelter Sunday to catch up on their new adoptables and then hosting a wee Oscar viewing party Sunday night.

What do you guys have planned? Anything fun?
