We’ve lived in this house for going-on three years and in all those years I’ve been trying to figure out how to decorate my front entry. There’s this great wall there, but it has two vents in it, kind of limiting. A couple years ago we spruced this wall up with some paneling that we…
Oh, my favorite! Time to share and enjoy some beautiful families, kids and photography from Milwaukee to the San Francisco Bay. This year we’d like a little help from you, our clients and the people who love these beautiful little people, to chose which twelve kiddos will be submitted into our contest (with great prizes for voters and contestants) that…
This January one my favorite clients, a family I have been photographing since 2007, contacted me to create a gallery from all of their sessions for their new playroom wall. I couldn’t wait to take on this project. I knew it would turn into a wall of joy because that is who they are as…
It was one crazy day, that day my first child was born. I was seventeen years old, I had no idea what I was doing. That first night at home, exhausted from my delivery, with him crying every thirty minutes, I wondered what on earth I was doing. How on earth was I going to…
This couple was about the cutest couple I’ve ever photographed. Just too adorable, really? I had so much fun seeing them in their giddy expectation before their sweet baby girl was born.

Growing up in Minnesota means summers at “the Lake”. We don’t say, “We’re going to Long Lake.” or “We’ve gone to Big Sand Lake.” We all say and understand “We’ve ‘Gone to the Lake’ ” One of my favorite photos of all time is of a big red barn, in the middle of being painted….
My favorite type of photo session is the “so very much the spirit of this family” session. This one was just that. These sweet kids (whom I have been photographing since they were babies) all went to Explorer preschool,a parent participation preschool in San Jose . Each summer the older preschoolers spend their days near…
Oh, I love blog carousel time. When you’re done reading my post, head over to Baltimore baby and child photographer, Blaire Blanks’ site and see what she was inspired by. When I learned of this month’s blog carousel theme I knew in an instant which images I wanted to share. My glorious golden images of…
It’s that time. You’ve been meaning to call . . . you’ve been meaning to write . . . but time has gotten away from you? It’s not too late, but it will be soon! Book it today. Today! To get on the calendar for one of these “sweet” Short and Sweets or book a…
The reason for our theme this month is a hard one, but a joyful one, as well. Our collegue and for many, friend, Jen, is fighting for her life against cancer. We thought it would be perfect if we all shared a vision of hope for all of you and for Jen. This one’s for…
