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…

Gone to “The Lake”.
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….
A beautiful family photo session at the creek.
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…
Living the good life in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I love snow. I love to see it, blanketing the dark, dirty world with its cleansing purity. I love to build it into a happy snowman, to greet our guests as they pull up to our kid-filled home. I love to barrel down the slopes on it, with the wind reminding me I am alive….
More babies & more tats. San Jose newborn photography.
Remember my newborn with the beautiful parents with awesome ink? They’ve had their second baby! Lucky me I get to photograph them again and lucky you, you get to see. Here is the latest edition with his lovely parents: And here’s a flashback to baby no. 1 . . . And the latest again. He’s…
Beautiful gallery of a beautiful boy.
When clients commission us for portraits they are not just hiring a photographer to capture some images of their kids and family, they are taking the first step toward beautiful art for their home. This lovely wall gallery was exactly what she was looking for when we began the process. Isn’t it sweet?
Pretty little ladies. Bay Area kid’s photography.
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…
Ooooh, pretty! Rolling out some awesome holiday cards.
One thing I really really love about my job is the Christmas card creation process. I plan and think and dream and just really put myself fully into the process of making my family’s card the best it can be. Just as fun (and not nearly as stressful) is the process of helping my wonderful…
Imperfect project: The changing seasons.
One of the things I most missed when we lived in California was the changing of the seasons. Oh, there was a little bit of that in the Bay Area; it got cooler, some of the leaves turned a drab brown and fell to the ground. In the winter, it rained some days and at…
Oh, for heaven’s sake! Too stinking cute!! San Jose Children’s photographer.
Imagine my delight when these two little cuties walked up to me at our Short and Sweet at McClellan Ranch. Not only were they cute, but they were sweet little monkeys, too. I just loved them and their beautiful and lovely mama (who, unfortunately, wasn’t being photographed that day. Next time, right?).
