Everett

Spending time with the incredibly handsome, sweet and adorable Everett made me want another baby immediately... like right now, not months or years from now. He is THAT cute!

Joey & Jolie

This is Joey and his very loving and beautiful big sister Jolie. I love how much she loves him. I love how his eyes light up when he sees her. It was so much fun photographing them and capturing their special relationship. These images will be perfect for their Mom to show them when they are 15 and 11 and not exactly feeling the love 24/7!

A blast of color for a winter day

After I began photographing my last session I found images of Aria & Willow left on my card from last Fall! It was a treat to imagine the warm sun and the Autumn colors on this really white, really cold Winter day! What a special time they had together playing in the leaves. I don't think anything beats jumping in big piles of leaves or jumping in waves at the beach!

Yummy Austin

This is Austin, truly one of the cutest patooties on the face of the earth! That face! The hat! I gush every time I look at these. We spent a brisk, yet sunny Sunday morning in the Japanese Gardens with his wonderful parents Trish & Chris and their equally cool dogs Grace & Brutus. When I delivered their portraits I couldn't help but linger over them one last time... I enjoy the whole process, but when the prints come back - it's like magic - as the colors and the moments come to life, and you give this beautiful little slice of time back to the family, who will cherish the memory forever... Needless to say: I love what I do, & I can't wait to work with Trish & Chris and their beautiful son again in the future!

My Autumn Beauty

I love her expression here, it's so..., so quintessentially "Three years old" It says: "Mom, will you please GET ON WITH IT ALREADY? Your kinda cramping my style, after all there is a PLAYGROUND 25 feet away with my name all over it..." Today I asked her to please bring me her empty bowl while I was washing dishes and she goes: "I'd really love to Mom but I'm busy right now, SORRY!" What could I do but get the bowl myself, trying not to laugh my pants off! So here she is, my forthright, hilarious, beautiful moondrop of a daughter, surrounded by the splendor of Autumn, shining like the light dancing on the leaves...
