I love spring in my studio garden! The roses are beautiful, the light is stunning, and the little corners are perfect for variety. I did some spring fairy mini sessions when the roses looked at their best this year. I always pick pastel dresses for these sessions so that the dresses and flowers complement each […]

I recently went up to see my mother in South Carolina for the first time since Covid. My sister, her husband, and my new nephew also came to stay with us while I was there. We had a nice little family reunion. I definitely had to do pictures of the baby while I was there! […]

My brother’s wife and my sister were both recently pregnant at the same time. My brother’s wife delivered my new niece and my sister delivered my new nephew about a month later. I went all the way to Seattle to do photos for him and help out for a little bit. I took my traveling […]

Is there any greater honor as a photographer to photograph your own family? I don’t have children, so it’s not like I get to take pictures of my own kids anytime I like. So when I get to photograph family, it’s an even greater event for me. Recently, I photographed my newborn niece in Louisville […]

When Elizabeth booked her high school senior portraits, she and her mom wanted to make sure that they showed off her love of ballet. We were lucky to get a loaner professional tutu from her dance studio as she is the sugarplum fairy for this year’s Nutcracker production. I completely love how it’s all pink […]

This year my unicorn photo sessions for October were sold out! I always adore meeting the kids and seeing their faces as they meet a REAL UNICORN! Sky the unicorn is absolutely patient and wonderful with the kids and it always shows in pictures. I and constantly thrilled with the poses she gives me and […]

Since I’ve moved into a new, larger studio, I can use the space now for things I couldn’t offer before… like studio maternity photos! I’m in absolute love with how fierce this mama looks. This is actually a surrogate pregnancy, she’s carrying for a couple far away in California! She’s carrying a boy, so I […]

I travel to teach a lot with my lens company (SIGMA Lenses) and I think my most popular photography classes are my dancer classes. I always go over a quick educational bit in the beginning about how to get good dancer photos and what makes a good ballet pose. I talk about turnout and winged […]

I teach classes for other photographers, and a lot of those classes are hands-on demonstrations in which I talk about exactly how I run a photo session. Obviously, I need models in front of the camera, so for the classes I teach I have to go find a child or family or a dancer for […]

This fabulous young man is my honorary nephew, and his mom flew me up to Glastonbury CT to do his senior pictures and document his high school graduation. He’s going to college at the University of Connecticut, so we did his senior portraits on the school campus. Go Huskies! I had to get one of […]
