this too-cute book has been out for weeks and with the flurry of activity, i’d forgotten to mention it! years ago, i traveled to cleveland to photograph this wonderful author’s sweet newborn and many books later, she featured *our* family’s newborn photographs. becky higgins is the bees knees – a fount of inspiration! If you...
quin’s parents commissioned me to photograph the rehearsal dinner and what a treat! oh, to see beth and quin through all their eyes *and* to hear the most well prepared, heartfelt and eloquent speeches *ever* to be delivered at a rehearsal dinner (if you had scripted the perfect set of speeches, these would have been...

3 little boys = 1 super high energy session :) it was so fun to run around their gorgeous farm and mom, well mom, is amazing! i love sessions at home for children because it adds another level of meaning to the images. the foot picture is exactly the sort of thing i think would...
just a heads up that we’ll be updating prices at the end of the year so you’ve got a month to get in orders at the soon to be ‘old’ rate. so, get a little something to make those walls happy this season!

andrew may very well win mmp groom of the year for the sweet thank you he sent after seeing the proofs.

kelli’s mom was incredible in arranging this fantastic spot for our portraits (i hesitate to mention it since it’s private and i’m sure they’d prefer not to be deluged with requests). i loved getting to meet her and ooh and ahh over her stunning gown!
in short, kelli was just made for this bride stuff...
