The blog has moved...

You've reached my old blog... In order to simplify my blog, my portfolio and my life, I combined my blog and site into one. Now you can find my "blog" entries on my Recent Work page. You can also view my portfolio, link to slideshows and client information, and locate anything else you might need all in one place.

This blog contains old session blog posts, and my failed 2011 attempt at "One Image a Day" project in which I force myself to shoot something each day, personal or professional, as a challenge to myself. I'd love to hear what you think of the images as they might slightly stray from the norm. We'll see if I can pick it up for 2012!

I was so excited to meet Amanda… she found me through my ad in Northshore Magazine which is really great because it reassures me that my marketing is getting to the right people!  And of course she lives in my favorite town, and has two beautiful children that are two years apart… in fact her youngest is just one day younger than Janey!  I always feel right at home with kids these ages… I love the curiosity and spirit of smart little toddler boys… and thirteen months, well, I could go on about how it’s one of my favorite ages.  Walking, running, still a little unsure, but also social enough to venture out and check things out, warm to strange ladies that point big lenses in their face, and give great eye contact!

Amanda and Noah, your family is beautiful.  I truly enjoyed our morning together… hope you were able to cool down with a swim and some ice cream after I left!  That is just what I did!  Thank you!

I love this [first shot out of the camera] because I said “are you going to be the awesome almost-3-year-old and show me how it’s done?”  And this is what I got!

And I love this because if we had a family portrait, I know Janey would want “The Soph” in it as well.

This is Harry.  He accompanies me to all my sessions and usually makes little boys very happy.  Sometimes scared, but usually happy.

Just beautiful.
