Oh heavens me. . . everything about this family was gorgeous.  And huge bonus for kids who are so well behaved that you’d like to take them home with you!  I met Lori in my “mom’s group” through my church and she has been trying to book a session for awhile–but the timing has never […]

I can’t stop time. . . if I could, surely sometimes I would.  My first born will be five in less than two weeks.  Yesterday, he “graduated” from preschool.  And so begin his real schooling years.  In a couple of short months, he will be off to Kindergarten, and I am still thankful that our […]

I loved this little boy all dressed in his red gear, right down to the adorable red nike sneakers.  His big sister was a great help, chasing him and blowing bubbles and trying to get him to giggle.  She clearly adored him.

Half of our zoo has been closed for over a year while they built a new exhibit for the addition of some lions.  Before the grand opening on Thursday, I wanted to get there one last time while it was still relatively calm–I thought almost everyone had been tired of the zoo, since you can’t […]

I met Katie’s family during one of my holiday mini-session days this past winter, and happily, I will be seeing more of them since I will also be photographing Katie’s sister’s wedding next year.  Katie and Andrew’s wedding will always be memorable to me because in order for me to take photos of Andrew seeing […]

One dollar can buy lots and lots of things.  Especially on a friday, at a garage sale.  Today was the beginning of garage sale season for me.  I like to carefully fold all of my dollars and put them in my pocket. . . just imagining all of the wonderful treasures that are out there […]

What a precious little girl she was.  We took lots of snack breaks, but she kept falling right back asleep again.  The ring she is holding in the last picture is her great-grandmother’s engagement ring–and her great-grandmother is the one she is named after.  I love meaningful images.

This momma is getting to be an expert on dressing her kids for my sessions.  I love when they show up and I open up the van door and see these perfectly coordinated, but not too matchy children–and then they bring me coffee and a bagel to top it with a cherry.  You don’t get […]

This is no secret.  I enjoy food.  Also, another fact that is not a secret- James enjoys food.  Really now? . . . who doesn’t? All of my married life, I have been Wegmans snob.  Who wouldn’t love a grocery store that has the ultimate shopping experience?  Millions of choices, never a long waiting time […]

First of my mini-sessions for the day–this family drove a long way for the session, and I always appreciate a client who will do that.  I feel valued, for sure.  We had the park all to ourselves–little did I know hundreds of people would be showing up in just a little bit for some area […]
