susan is brilliant – not only is she an amazing artist, she somehow manages to keep me (and i’d imagine her other friends) in the loop about great music, local happenings and all the cool stuff in tv land that i’d never know about without her. well, or i would but it would be a...
aren’t these super cute? i like their baby stuff best but they’ve got some good wedding invites, too! 2 art directors from Martha Stewart started it…and I could be mistaken but I think i remember one of them from her featured wedding in MSW a few years ago and we were married in the very...
recently, a lot of photographers have written letting me know they read this blog so here’s a little something for you guys :) i’ve been looking for gloves i could photograph in forever and haven’t been able to find a THING that still lets me adjust camera controls. well, take that back, there have been...
this session was AWESOME…one family with three AMAZING girls. i don’t know if AMAZING even covers it. man alive, they were so with it. i could go on and on about these wonder-girls! (they’ve lived in africa, play all sorts of instruments…)
dad was incredibly polite & gracious but i’m sure he was ‘doing the family...

so here’s my life in a nutshell: i read endless books to Audrey, dote on my dashing husband...
does it feel like i have *any* restraint with photos of audrey on the blog? i promise i do…here’s one from yesterday afternoon. we got all the holiday things out over the weekend and i indulged in a little snowglobe gnawing for the sake of a cute photo! -m-
introducing james owen…and somehow i have the feeling that this little guy is going to do extraordinary things. in the meantime, he’s certainly making everyone around him very very happy (even audrey! HE had a gift for her! she’s been playing with her cute wooden stacker ever since – thanks, james owen!)! -m-
p.s. his mom,...

where do i start? first, take a close look at the program shot and you’ll get a glimpse of the wreath on the church doors in the background! and can you see the polka dotted ribbon? it set the scene for all the fun in store for the rest of the day. jimmy & natalie...

look at this…little heart shaped sugars that perch on the rim of your tea cup! my mom (who is probably the only person i know [outside of family in England] who uses those little cubes of petrified sugar – i tease but i love her for it), would totally flip over this. -m-
did i have an awesome weekend? yes. si. oui!! woke up bright and early for the red eye to chicago saturday for a portrait shoot with silvia, lowell & javier – when i got to the airport for the car service they’d arranged, it was a LIMO! i think i blushed…actually, i think i’m...
i can’t believe i’m even about to admit this…perhaps it’s because i’m secretly hoping there are others like me, reading this and who will fess up in the comments section…okay, here i go. i’m really into cute office supplies :) so when i saw this clipboard, i thought…whose office wouldn’t be a bit happier with...
i’m soooo very sick right now – a little bug that came on suddenly. not feeling at all my typical self – quarantined from the world in my warm bed while i proof a wedding on the laptop. I don’t get sick often but it seems like it always chases a really busy week. had...
i adore this family – they’re so smitten with their little baby you couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear just watching them. and leslie just smiled and smiled the whole time…so fun to photograph! -m-
