a little about me and my style....

Photography is in my heart and is as much a part of me as my arms and legs.  The best part of my job is hands down the people that I meet along the way.  Getting to know someone through my lens is so very rewarding and fun. I feel quite lucky to have landed this cool gig I call a job.  It is really so much more for me.  



my style

Simple.  No perfection required. I strive to capture the real-ness of each person.  I need you to be yourself and nothing more.

I will spend time capturing details about your kids. big gorgeous eyes, wispy hair, long eyelashes, silly faces, pouty lips...you know,that kind of stuff.  The important stuff that you love so much about them.  The things you will always remember.  

I will also spend time capturing the little details I see.  a found ladybug in the palm of a hand, a tin of crayons, a loved 'blankie', a little hand holding a flower, those simple things that made the session special.  These are sometimes my favorite images to photograph.

I keep things as natural as possile, without posing anyone.  I will simply direct you a bit and let life unfold while I snap away.  

Call me, book a session...lets have some fun!

sunday morning

legos and lounging around.  a perfect start to the day.  fin thoroughly enjoys anything that belongs to his big brothers, of course.  so, the big lego pile was great fun for him, despite all of the ‘take that out of your mouth’ requests he kept getting.

Sunday-Morning

from baby to boy…..

i’ve been slowly updating my website galleries over the last week and i’ve come across some forgotten images of clients.  through the years i’ve seen many babies grow up into big kids.  here is a favorite of mine.  on a side note:  my schedule is booking rather quickly.  october is completely full, however september has openings.  if you have an interest in a session for the holiday season, please book right now.  i will be updating my calendar a bit more in the next few days as well.  in the mean time, email me with the date you have in mind.

kitty, sticks and fin

fin baby is getting big!  close to 11 months now.  i haven’t been snapping as many images lately.  no reason really.  i tend to pull out the camera only when the itch starts itching these days.  fin and i were waiting at the front entry for jack & owen to get home from school when i snapped these.  i should add that meatball was waiting with us.  he is a great addition to our family.  he fits right in with all of these boys of mine.  meatball spent his time pouncing around from side to side of our walk-way while fin chased and giggled and poked him with sticks.  it was the perfect ‘itchy’ moment :)

Playful

so happy…..

….together. this is my very favorite type of family shot. notice that no one is looking at the camera.  instead, they are all about each other.  little claire on daddy’s knee on the other hand has the look down pat!

little peeps….

here and little peeps there.  everywhere i turned there was someone to photograph in this great big bunch.  these kiddos are all cousins….visiting each other this summer.  there was lots of great spirit among them….and i had a great time capturing it.

then….

and now….  seeing my clients grow up is always fun.  i met up with aliyah and her extended family (16 people in all!) last weekend.  she was just about a year old when i first photographed her and she is now on her way to being three.  more shots of the the rest of the family coming up!

then-&-now
