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….

Watching them grow. San Jose family photographer.

 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…

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…

Sweet sisters in their favorite tree. Family photography in Los Gatos, CA.

I really loved this session. The girls were just sweet and fun and they had no problem showing me all the cool things they could do in their spectacular backyard. In the hour I was with them we managed to capture a whole lotta’ “childhood” for their mama; an especially wonderful gift when you children…

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?).

Day Four. Milwaukee children’s photographer Up North, in Minnesota.

Oh, how I love these! I’ve been meaning to post these of my dear friend’s children picking blueberries for quite some time. This friend and I met on my first day as a new teacher up in Eveleth, Minnesota, one of the coldest places in the United States. I moved there with young Tyler to…

Day two. My favorite beach, a honey & a new habit.

Hey, check it out; I’ve made it to day two! Don’t laugh, it would be easy to slip. Its not a habit yet! I have another habit I am trying to create; running. Not that I have TIME for running. I am honestly not sure when I am going to squeeze it in. But I…

Love this family and love this beach! Milwaukee family photographer.

I had the pleasure of capturing my dear friends and their adorable boys on the beach in Duluth, Minnesota while I was on tour last month. Our shoot got off to a bit of a rocky start. My friend gave me directions to the beach that sounded a bit like this: you go down the…

Life. Captured. A fabulous opportunity.

The Goggle Project. Another hero in San Jose, CA.

I love this project! Just so silly and sooo fun! This little man has been in front of my lens since he was just days old.  Had fun capturing him and his big-sister in their goggle-get-ups. I will share her’s soon. If you haven’t sent me goggle-goodness, its not too late! Check it out.
