I recently made a little road trip from Saint Petersburg, Florida up to Suttons Bay, Michigan, and stopped in a few places along the way for portrait sessions. My first stop was the gorgeous neighborhood of Pinewood Forrest an hour or so outside of Atlanta, Georgia to photograph this absolutely lovely family! It was a […]

I LOVE that my sister (Christina) and I finally live in the same city again (Yay Saint Petersburg!) after the last two decades living in different time zones. We always have so much fun together, so when she asked if I’d like to join her on a week long trip to Los Angeles she had […]

This month I decided to take you on a little plane journey with me, from the beaches of Florida to the mountains of Colorado, all from my airplane window! Taking off from Palm Beach International Airport, I spotted Trump’s plane (Air Force One) on the tarmac, which was pretty neat, politics aside.  It’s wise to […]

There’s nothing like being near the water:  breathing in the salty sea air and listening to the roar of the ocean waves.  This month I spent a long weekend in the Hamptons with friends, which was a perfect way to start the year.  My head always feels clearer after being by the ocean and escaping […]

Heather and Dion have been planning their wedding for a couple of years now, and I can absolutely say it was worth the wait!  Their destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico started out in absolute style, inviting their family and friends to drink and dine with them aboard a gorgeous private yacht, sailing around […]

I’ve taken a handful of photography workshops in various cities across the country over the last several years, but recently a good photo friend of mine convinced me to attend the annual Click Away Photography Conference in Seattle. I went because I LOVE Seattle (for a short amount of time I seriously considered relocating from […]

It has not struck me as unusual that all 3 of my summer “30 minutes” posts have taken place on or in the water.  I grew up swimming every day and absolutely adore being on or near the water, especially when the weather is nice! August finds me visiting my parents at their summer house […]

It’s officially summer and I have kicked it off by sailing in the Mediterranean.  Not bad, eh?  😉  For this month’s 30 minutes photo collection, I decided to show you what it looked like sailing into the harbor at Vernazza, one of the 5 towns that make up the famous “Cinque Terre” coastline.  I truly […]

Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing the marvelous Metz family up in Traverse City, Michigan.  Back then, they were a trio.  Last month, when I photographed them at their awesome home in East Grand Rapids, they were a quartet!  Little Miss Matilda joined Team Metz earlier this year and is the perfect addition […]

On my recent trip out to Kansas, I was lucky to photograph the sweet Condie family again!  (Click here to check out Cooper’s first photo session with me).  This time we met at their beautiful home and utilized both the front and back yards as well as Cooper’s nursery, which was absolutely gorgeous.  Cooper has […]
