Well…since I don’t shoot full time anymore I am finding some time to photograph my own kids. We went to Cake Crumbs just down the street this am for a breakfast treat. In my opinion, “cupcakes should be one of the food groups!”

October 8, 2009 - 4:50 pm - Thanks Michelle! I love her car as much as I love the photos. It has always been my dream to own a vintage VW bus.
John and Benjie welcomed their beautiful baby boy Evan and sister Hadley could not be more excited. Congratulations!

Last night I turned my back for just a moment and when I turned around I saw my son Talyn running through the sprinkler with the neighbor kids. They were so excited that they didn’t even take the time to put bathing suits on. I thought it was the cutest thing I had seen in a long time so I grabbed my camera and started shooting away. They didn’t even know I was there. All I could hear was laughter and all I could see was smiles from ear to ear. It brought me back to when I was a child and how wonderful it felt to be so carefree. I think we need to stop and take more moments like this as we are so busy in our adult lives. This post is dedicated to my two children Talyn and Aidyn.











July 27, 2009 - 9:52 pm - Looks like a blast. Aren't the unplanned moments the best?










July 14, 2009 - 9:28 pm - YEAH!!! These are great!!! Thanks for being such a wonderful photographer to work with!!
July 14, 2009 - 9:40 pm - Thanks Anne, I meant to call you and tell you they were up but I didn't get a chance to do so yet. But, I am glad you saw them. You were such a great family to photograph!
July 14, 2009 - 10:59 pm - These are FANTASTIC! I'm so excited. We'll be ordering a whole bunch!! THANK YOU! -Liza, Doug and Eddie :D
July 14, 2009 - 11:04 pm - Thanks Liza, Doug and Eddie... You were all the sweetest family to work with. I can tell there is a lot of love running through your family.
July 15, 2009 - 1:55 pm - These are wonderful. You did such an amazing job with a large group. It's awesome how all their shirt colors coordinated so beautifully. I really like that idea of different shades of the same two colors. Very cool session.
All I can say is that I loved photographing this family! They were able to play together and have fun even forgetting the camera was even there. Doesn’t it just want to make you squeeze those cute, chubby little cheeks…











July 14, 2009 - 11:34 am - Oooh, what yummy, rich colors and gorgeous family. They certainly look like they were having a blast. Oh, and I'm digging the argyle socks. Perfection.
Could these girls get any cuter! They were full of sweetness, spice and everything nice…these are a few of my favorites.









July 13, 2009 - 8:51 pm - So adorable. Love the color pops. My daughter has that same pink wide brimmed hat... I'm going to have to pull it out and take some pictures, as it's stunning against the green!
August 14, 2009 - 7:52 pm - They are absolutely the most adorable girls. You have such a great family.
August 17, 2009 - 12:30 pm - Absolutely beautiful! The creativity in each of the photos is brillant and stunning.
Jason and Bridget are getting married! I loved photographing this couple. Any couple who goes to Panic shows are a friend of mine. I can’t wait for the wedding. This is going to be a fun one folks!
