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…
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 brother has some seriously cute kids. We must just have good genes, eh? Mr. Oliver is a funny guy, reminds me of my eldest, Ty, when he was six. I love being able to capture my brother’s family every year in their annual family photo session; this year’s was in Milwaukee at the park…
I love being a children’s photographer for many reasons. One of them is the spontaneous fun kids have just being, well, kids! These twin sisters in San Jose provide me with a whole session of crazy girly fun fun fun every single year. They are a constant crack-up.

This lovely wall gallery was exactly what she was looking for when we began the process. Isn’t it sweet?
These sweet sisters sure made me smile. There was plenty of joy to capture! I think I have a photo somewhere of my sister and I playing piano; so classic. When I travel from Milwaukee to San Jose for photo sessions, I never know what kind of joy I am going to find, but I…
How cool is it, that in these fun photos of adorable boys, you can see the photos from a previous session up on the wall behind them? I love it! Of course, I’ll have to go back again to capture the new display they now have from THIS session. Maybe next year I can take…
One of my favorite “professional photographer perks” are the fun “tools” we get to own because, well, we NEED them. And the best of them all was my Ikelite underwater housing. I was lucky enough to buy one from another photographer, so it wasn’t TOO expensive, but it is quite the deal. Because I bought…
