Okay, I remember now, being a photographer really does rock.

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…

Bringing up baby in San Francisco, CA

This couple was about the cutest couple I’ve ever photographed. Just too adorable, really? I had so much fun seeing them in their giddy expectation before their sweet baby girl was born. Their love for each other just warmed my heart. Then came the day to capture their little bundle of happiness. What a treat!…

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…

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…

Pure cuteness on the beach in Capitola, CA.

This session, just over the hill from San Jose, CA,  was pure fun. This little man was pure fun. His parents were pure fun. Fun!! His mom brought along his milk “drink box” because, she says, he’s a milk kind of guy. I loved it. And the light on the lifeguard tower (I don’t see…

A beautiful family in the beautiful city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

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,…

Day Eleven. My baby turned 16 today.

I can hardly believe it, even as I type it; my little boy is 16 years old! I remember the day he was born with vivid detail. I was just 17 years old that day; naive, scared, excited, sad, confused, yet so sure of my decision. Months earlier my father and I had a meeting…

Day Seven. Wow, I made it a week! l Almost rained out Bay Area photo session.

My life: Well, things around my house are just a little crazy this time of year. I honestly cannot believe its already November. Now, I know, everyone says that, but really, it snuck up on my like never before. I can at least be counting my blessings that the boys’ sports have ended for the…
