With our love of costumes in the house, Halloween is a great excuse for the kids to wear a few out in public.  Brayden’s class had a Halloween Parade this morning.  He chose a costume for school, and then will wear a different one trick or treating.  My brother and sister-in-law are staying over at […]

The best kind of session are the ones where I just get to hang out.  There’s no expectations–just capture the essence of my child.  Doing it this way, with no plan–just an hour of lets see where this takes us, makes for such an enjoyable time.  This little darling was such a joy, and so […]

The boys watched Rise of the Guardians a few weeks ago, so they were thrilled this morning when they walked outside and they saw that Jack Frost had given us a little visit overnight.  And me?  Well, if you know anything about me at all, you know that I ran into the house screaming. So: […]

My Papa, Charlie, will be ninety in a few days.  We celebrated him this past weekend, and I spent some time with family that I rarely see.  It was nice to reconnect. . . almost EVERYBODY invited was able to come, which was amazing.  We played a few games, sang Happy Birthday using his full […]

I shot Aria’s one year session a bit before I technically returned from maternity leave–so I forgot that I never blogged it! I’ve loved getting to know this family–they’ve grown on me the past two years, and I have had such fun photographing them as they’ve grown from three to four.  You can see their […]

Our little man is three months old today!  What a rock star. He sleeps at night like a champ, only waking up once to eat, usually sometime between 4am and 5am.  And then he sleeps again until around 8.  Naps on the other hand?  Still groovin with the thirty minute nap.  Every day.  Every nap. […]

Monday gets such a bad rap.  I feel kind of bad for it.  And on days like today where it’s super cold out, reminding us that winter is right around the corner, it doesn’t help Monday’s cause much. We came home from a weekend away to a house that was in the low 60’s.  We […]

Eleven pm comes every day much too quickly, but not quickly enough all at the same time. The phenomenon is sort of a strange one.  Some days feel like they will never end, and then it’s the late evening and I wonder how on earth it got here so fast.  It’s the vacuum of time–it […]

Four months after we were supposed to shoot Kirsten’s family session, it finally happened.  At first, it was rescheduled due to me going on maternity leave early.  I felt terribly, but it was for the best.  Thankfully she was willing to wait until the fall to do her session!  Our second set date was rained […]

A little light  drizzle didn’t put a damper on the spirits on Alex & Caroline’s amazing wedding day.  It came at the right time. . . just before our wedding party pictures at the Art Gallery–and then was gone before we knew it, leaving a chill in the air, but nothing too much to handle! […]
