We had some of Brayden’s friends over for a playdate the other day.  They used to be like siblings to him. . . I babysat them for an entire school year, so they became really close.  But that was when he was not even two yet, so he only remembers bits and pieces of our […]

I used to rave about what a good baby Carter was.  Oh, he’s so amazingly content all the time.  Really. . . I can leave him in the same place for like twenty minutes and he’ll just keep himself busy.  He’s an angel!  So perfect.  Takes amazing naps.  A dream!  Those were all the types of […]

I am convinced that there are hundreds of secret coves in our city.  I’ve learned about quite a few of them  this summer alone, between photo shoots and adventures with family and friends.  The other day, we discovered a new secret place.  A little hidden treasure right off of a busy, high traffic area.  A […]

What a hilarious time I had photographing Rebecca and Mitchell.  They drove in from Pennsylvania to do a little wedding planning and we squeezed in our engagement session.  They drove 45 minutes to our shooting location . . . a quaint little castle nestled in Highland Park.  Skies were clear all day until I was […]

Good friends of ours just had a baby girl . . . right after other good friends of our also had a baby girl.  There are babies blooming everywhere!  We had a little baby bash, with some delicious dinner and let our pack of children hang out while we caught up with each other.   […]

Jen and Rob were married on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.  The ceremony and reception took place at The White House in Webster.  We took a few pictures before hand at an adorable bed and breakfast near Park Ave.  Their whole day was a perfect laid back celebration with family and friends that ended with an […]
