A beautiful union. My little sister’s wedding.

So, I’ve been saying, for some time now, that all of the “lucky” people who get free photos from me should start a “waiting forever” support group. No doubt, it’s a great deal to get photos from me without paying the full prices, but the price that gets paid is in waiting . . ….

Beautiful belly of a beautiful mama. Milwaukee maternity photography.

To the wonderful Jill: It was worth it, see? Giving baths, digging for clean clothes for three kids, wrangling them all in the car, choosing bribes, keeping them focused and just putting one foot in front of the other with three little kids while 9 months and counting. Look how beautiful you are!! I can’t…

Project imperfection. Milwaukee & San Francisco Bay Area photography.

The number one, most frequent and wistful question I get from happy clients is this: “Do you just take a million fabulous photos of your own kids, all. the. time?” To which I must answer a sad, shameful, “No, not really.” We’ve all heard the saying “The cobbler’s children have no shoes.” Well, unfortunately, oftentimes,…

One Big Happy Family. Lake Michigan photographer.

When this lovely family called us, asking if we might be interested in a big multi-family session with three kids and a whole buncha’ adults, I wasn’t so sure. Kids are fun, free and natural, but adults are often much more difficult to capture having fun. And capturing FUN is what I am all about….

Three years of puppy-dreaming and we finally have our new friend.

I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood dog, Yoda, who’s antics are remembered by half my small Midwest town. She was a badly behaved dog, never properly trained, but she was my friend and I can hardly imagine my childhood without her. When I imagined my own kids growing-up years, I just assumed…

My monkeys in St. Joseph, Michigan.

In June my family came with me to a destination photo-session in Saint Joseph, Michigan. What a beautiful place! Lake Michigan is really beautiful on the Wisconsin side, but get over to the Michigan side and it really shines. The beaches are amazing, as big and beautiful as a Bay Area California beach. The swimming is…

Happiness is . . . you! San Francisco kid photographer.

Crissy Field, San Francisco, is one of my favorite places to photograph North Bay families, with a little view of the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. At this session, though, there was so much love and fun between the members of this lovely little family, the bridge just didn’t seem important!

A most beautiful “weed” and a most adorable boy.

Is there anything more classic than a kid and a dandelion? I don’t think so!  This little man is one of my favorite little clients (he’s the kiddo from the red balloon images) and I just can’t get enough of his cuteness. Ready . . . set . . . blow!! Anna Mayer is a…

Welcome to the world, baby Lauren.

 I am one lucky Auntie Anna. I have three handsome nephews and now three most adorable nieces. Our family makes the most delicious babies! (No, I am NOT biased at all) I was very lucky to get to see her when she was just 4 weeks old. I’d just arrived home from a shooting trip…
