On July 27th, this is what Brayden’s room looked like.  We hadn’t done anything with it since we moved in.  And then we decided to move Carter up there too in order to have a “play room” in the third bedroom.  And then, the James and Bethany lightbulb popped into our heads and we came up […]

Sarah and Mike were my last wedding of 2012.  It was definitely bitter sweet.  Wedding number 17–the most I’ve done in one season.  It was a good number–they were spaced out nicely, from March to November.  I’m looking forward to a couple months of break from weddings, getting my website updated and doing some business […]

These two little guys were a blast to hang out with.  At the last minute, I told their mom to throw together some of their favorite toys and bring them with her.  She said that was perfect because her boys are pretenders at heart.  They love dressing up.  So that’s what we did for the […]

My friend Heather is lovely.  But Heather is busy.  And I am busy.  And we rarely see each other, though I do consider her a close friend.  Our plans to get together continually fall through.  But we have a vibrant (short) history of game playing and So You Think You Can Dance watching and being […]

Before the color went away and before we got slammed with the pre-winter chill, I photographed this gorgeous family at Highland Park.  They brought their energetic dog along and we snapped a few images with him before focusing on just the family.  It’s great sometimes being in a wide open space–it gives everyone room to […]

I thoroughly enjoy Halloween, but mostly because I think it makes a fabulous photo op. My kids love dressing up, and we have an entire, overflowing (I mean that!) costume bin, which sees a fair deal of use.  Before we left for our trip to Florida, we had a couple of ideas in mind for […]

If there was one word to describe Caylin & Steve’s wedding, it would be energy.  The day was a lot of fun because Steve was so full of energy and was completely upbeat the whole time.  I met Caylin last year when she was a bridesmaid for Rebecca & Mitch. We also sat with them […]

A few days ago we returned from our trip to Florida.  It was eighty degrees.  We were on the beach.  There were palm trees.  And we wore shorts, flip flops and needed sunscreen. Today, in Rochester, it snowed. In response to a text that I sent my friend Sarah about having a hard time getting […]

I was thrilled to take my friend Jess’s family pictures.  She is super crafty and it’s quite obvious that she knows how to pull together amazing outfits for an entire family.  Her middle child is one of Brayden’s good friends–it’s good fun to photograph people that we know 🙂  There isn’t much time needed for […]
