I love capturing beautifully imperfect pictures, especially of children. Kids all seem to have so many little quirks… facial expressions and gestures that are so unique to them. And while I can appreciate the beauty of a traditionally posed photograph, I appreciate seeing their real life beauty much, much more. I love the personality that...

“It’s time.”
I got the call on Friday evening, while hanging out with my best friends. Fortunately, I’d warned them ahead of time that this might happen, and that I just might end up having to bail on them. I raced home to meet my husband, at which point we raced on to the hospital. And...

This family wanted to get some updated pictures of all the kiddos… FIVE kids in all, to be exact. They knew it would be somewhat of a challenge to wrangle them all into submission, especially with their ages ranging from 10 months to 5 years. But I love a good challenge.
With that many children involved,...

I got a chance to visit my niece in her class on Halloween and join in the festivities. My niece was totally adorable, choosing to dress as Batgirl this year. (Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to see my other niece, who was dressed as Cleopatra.) My nephew was also there, dressed as Mickey Mouse.
And, FYI… my mother-in-law made...
