Sweet little siblings. San Jose kids photography.

August 23, 2010 – 3:01 pm

Awww. How can you not just say “Awww” to an image like this one? I first photographed Big Sister when she was one year old, four years ago. She was as beautiful as can be back then, as she is now (although she’s certainly gotten busier!). It was fun to see her new little brother, now one year old, and to capture the two of them together. What mother wouldn’t simply treasure an image like this of her kids? I know I would. Such loves. my sister   pure gotcha' 

And we pulled out the white paper to capture some pure simplicity of little brother, just like I had for his sister years ago in my studio. I love this one. golden delicious

The good life.

May 28, 2010 – 9:53 am

One of my favorite places in our house is this certain corner of my couch. I don’t sit there to watch TV or to enjoy a fire in the fireplace. In fact, you can’t even see those things from there. I sit there and gaze at the wall where a large gallery of photos looks back at me; photos of my children, my family, our life.  Some of them are happy, some are serious, some are just plain silly. All of them are a beautiful tribute to our life together and the four little lives I am watching unfold before me. Sometimes when I am enjoying the view I smile to myself. I smile because I know that I have had a hand in creating hundreds of beautiful memories just like this for countless families in Silicon Valley and beyond.

I so love my job! I truly believe that what I do is important. I don’t just record an image that shows what a child looks like at two or five or nine. Instead, I seek to record his spirit, her energy, and the love they share with siblings and parents. Capturing that spirit is at the heart of every encounter I have.  Ooooh, I get goose-bumps just thinking about it. What a privilege it is to be a special part of the lives of so many families!

Day Seventeen. My lovely assistant’s family & some busy-work.

November 17, 2009 – 11:40 pm

My life: Well, ’tis the season of chaos and late-nights. As a portrait photographer, I find myself doing about 50% of my year’s work in just two and a half months. It can be exhausting!! But somehow we always come through for our clients and we always get it all done, with time to spare. I may have a sore tush and a hand that is begging for me to step away from the mouse, but it will all be done, none-the-less!!

Your images: This lovely little family belongs to my wonderful assistant, Rachel. This was a sort of “farewell” session for her, as she has moved on to other pursuits and is heading back to school. I miss the companionship of working with her but enjoy our coffee dates when I come to San Jose for shoots. Now, if I could just get her to visit Milwuakee in January, that would be fun!!aaaa glendale tickled whitefish-bay

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

November 1, 2009 – 9:19 am

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 take my first real job as a Special Education teacher and Girls Hockey Coach. She was newly engaged and I soon became engaged as well. We were instant friends. We married just two weeks apart and we have been friends through all of the ups and downs of married life and growing families.

 This shoot was a quick, rather impromptu session at a not-so-ideal time of day for photos. Thankfully, with a little maneuvering, you really can make almost any crazy lighting work. Not only was the sun high in the sky, but this entire session took place in the most unlikely location: the ditch across the road from their house. I just love the summery feel, the sweet toe-heads, and the happiness the kids felt while they popped nature’s sweetness into their mouths. Mmmm . . . so yummy! blueberrisadorable  all-gone  delicious

San Jose family photographer. Brothers in pajamas.

August 4, 2009 – 7:27 pm

Yeah, they really ARE this cute! Just love these boys. I first photographed big brother when he was just a little guy himself. It has been a real pleasure to capture his family as they’ve grown. He now has a little sister and a baby brother to help keep his mom and dad busy; do they ever!  Little sister was not having it for the pajama fest…but the love of these brothers more than make up for it. I just adore these shots.
