A photographer’s dream…fresh locations, ideal lighting and a gorgeous family of five. It was the type of shoot where even if the final photos were not perfect – the composition a tad off, the focus less than perfect, the exposure a stop or two too much or too little – they were perfectly beautiful because [...]

From bridesmaid to bride to mother
It was her wedding day. She was the bride’s friend, a chosen bridesmaid. A chosen one to wear the same dress as the other girls lined up in support of their friend that was marrying the man of her dreams. As a bridesmaid, she stood there alone. On a stage with many, yes, but as [...]
I LOVE this little girl
I so wish that putting naked babies on the web was not a bad idea b/c she’d be plastered all over my website. She has the best rolls you’ve ever seen and very possibly more than you’ve ever seen, too. That’s what 25th percentile in height and 90th percentile in weight will get you. Luckily, [...]
My rockstar/bulldog/best-hair-ever friend & his family:
Doug’s a rockstar. For cold, hard evidence click here for lots of pictures, videos and sounds of him rockin’ out. He’s pretty impressive. I worked with him when I lived in Memphis. Us ladies always had the best time telling him how his newest and most updated hair-do was for sure the BEST ever. He [...]
newsletter-n-nostalgia
By the end of this week I’m hoping to send out another newsletter. I’m busting at the seams with news I want to share – my plans for a winter on-line workshop for all aspiring photographers (wanna-be professionals or not), Christmas cards, 503 on the road locations for this fall, etc. If you did not [...]
December 2004 (& me at my finest)
It was one day after Christmas. I was standing in a reception hall celebrating my niece’s christening. I will never forget what was playing over and over again on the TV. A tsunami had just occurred that morning surprising thousands upon thousands of people. Here I was celebrating with my family and clear across the [...]
.love the life you live.
I L.O.V.E. all things little & all things all-boy. They always have such an appreciation for all things dingy, rusty, dirty, murky & wet… Can’t wait to have one of these… After mom showed him his reflection he thought he’d step on it… …then jump on it… ….then sit on it! {i love how mom’s [...]
Visiting me this week….
…is Mr. Ivy. Poison Ivy. He is a terrible friend and even though I haven’t seen him in almost 10 years he has already worn out his welcome by about…9 days. I am ready for him to pack up his bags and head home, but for whatever reason he is obsessed with me. All of [...]
The more you have the less you take
It seems pretty common with parents worldwide – the more kids you have, the less pictures you take. With number 1 you have 1,000 pictures documenting their every move, but by number 3 your hands are full and documenting their every move falls low on the totem pole. Luckily, this mom decided to call in [...]
Family [5.5]
Talk about a gorgeous family… It’s families like this that make me want to have a large one myself. Here’s a family of 5, expecting to add to in just a few weeks. [yes, he's pulling his hair with one hand and hitting him with the other. ] [my lollipops were all perfectly broken down [...]
