I spent the morning photographing one of my favorite clients, my little man Benj! Not always the easiest to capture, but my very biased opinion, is certainly the cutest! We explored an old train car, threw rocks and just laughed and laughed! Now imagine, a very pregnant woman balancing on train tracks , climbing a...
I gotta say, I timed this vacation exactly right! I was so good about truly taking time for myself and my family, but I am back and so excited! I am excited to announce that I am pregnant with number 3 and I am not sure I would have survived this first trimester if I...
Being from Colorado, I am a bit of a snow snob. The snow here in Virginia is lacking….a lot! 95% of the winter is what the local weathermen like to call a “wintery mix” i.e. sleet…call it what it is. However, today was the real thing. No, it wasn’t champagne powder like I had in...
You meet this woman and you just want to be her friend. H is this spirit that exudes happiness, but not in a pollyanna, over the top way. Its real. So when she asked me to document the rehearsal dinner and eve of her wedding, I was excited. I knew it would be somewhere beautiful...

As many of you know, I am an Etsy fan. I had the pleasure of trying out some great clothes from Orabelle Baby! They are cute, very well made and withstand the critical test of the picky toddler! My daughter would not take off the pants outfit! So check out this shop and buy some...
I just had to blog about some very sad news I received today. Amy Wenzel, a photographer whom I have learned a great deal from is dealing with something that is probably all of our worst fear. Her husband, David, was at a conference and hit his head in a playful manner. The hit caused...
There must be something in the air…this weekend, I had 5 different moms ask me questions on how to take better photos of their kids. The questions ranged from camera specifics to lighting to composition. So if you are one of these people (you don’t have to be a mom!) and want to know the...
So I am really trying to be “green” these days. Maybe its because there are areas in my life that I am not willing to budge on because of the particular stage of life (two children under three require A LOT of papertowels, diapers, wipes and laundry)and I feel like I need to make up...
