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.

Oh, how I love my new home! Milwaukee is truly a gem of a city; one that certainly doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I love being a photographer here, capturing sweet families in a sweet city. Look at this adorable little family . . . aren’t they sweet? And our locations were pretty fun,…

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,…

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…

Okay, I have been a TERRIBLE blogger lately. One visiting my blog might think I’ve about gone out of business and have nothing left to write about. On the contrary! The problem is that I am TOO busy. Busy running back and forth between Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the Bay Area of California, and of course,…

Okay, I just gotta’ say, I LOVE being a kid & family photographer. I love it! I won’t kid you when I say that there are times when I am tired, or overwhelmed, or that I don’t miss miss miss my family when I am in California shooting. But there are so many moments when…
