Last year I taught a high school student photography part time.  Kate was an excellent student and picked up shooting manual really quickly (not something that happens too often)!  Over the past year she’s developed her talent and when she realized that we’d both be in Lexington during the same week this month she asked […]

Teenage girls are just awesome.  I can honestly say that some of my most favorite shoots are senior portraits, so I decided to try out something new, called a “BFF session.”  Friendships are SO important in a teenage girl’s life, so I thought it’d be fun to capture a typical afternoon, to create memories that […]

So normally when I visit my sister in Colorado, I come back with loads of photos of the gorgeous scenery and mountains.  This time, I instead soaked it all in without my camera, which at first was refreshing, but of course I missed it so out it came for a mini photo shoot on the […]

While I was down in New Orleans, I was lucky to photograph the lovely Altland Family!  Rob drove me up to Covington and was my super awesome assistant for the day. (He’s really into photography and takes great photos, as well!) Clare and Matt have a sweet daughter and twin one year old boys (talk […]

I just LOVE babies!  Everything about them.  So photographing them makes me so so happy 🙂 Suzanne and Jeff are very dear friends of mine, and I was thrilled when they flew me up to Chicago to meet and photograph their first baby, sweet little Catherine.  It was an extra treat that both grandmas were […]

A little while ago I popped down to DC to visit a very good friend, Melissa, for the weekend.  We spent an afternoon at one of Virginia’s lovely vineyards, and drove to her parents’ house for a delicious dinner (her dad is one heck of a chef)!  I’ve known this family for many, many years […]

Last summer my sister took me on a super fun trip to Seattle and Vancouver!  We explored the cities, rode the ferries, wandered around, drank cocktails, ate oysters, and tried to avoid the rain.  I just love the Northwest, and feel so at peace when I’m there.  Thanks Christina for a great mini-vacation!

I recently visited this incredible home in the Hamptons to photograph the family’s adorable little boy! Austin is the silliest, cutest 5 year old I know, and we had such fun splashing around and taking photos!

As you know, I just started photographing newborns, so I was thrilled to fly to Michigan recently to meet my cousin’s sweet new baby boy, MacNeil.  Mac is the first great-grandchild in our huge family, and we are all so glad he’s here! I got to spend a few days with little Mac, and I […]

At the beginning of the month, my friends and I decided to fly to Chicago to visit two of our awesome friends who just moved there from New York.  We all arrived on the day they closed on their gorgeous condo in Lincoln Park, so of course we celebrated.  All weekend.  Naturally. Suzanne & Jeff […]
