My Own

Every once in a while I have to post one of my own cuties. This was just a snapshot of her sitting on the stairs, but I loved the cute face she’s making.

Every once in a while I have to post one of my own cuties. This was just a snapshot of her sitting on the stairs, but I loved the cute face she’s making.

I always love being able to get together with other photographers and photograph their kids for them. These were actually impromptu shots taken right in the entrance to their open garage. I just loved the look of the sunlight on their faces and how the contrast of the dark garage darkens out the background.



We’re into winter modeling season already. It’s hard to conjure up the feeling of cold weather in August, but we try our best! Here are some catalog-style images we did for the clothing designer Painted Butterfly Studio, and accessory designer Birdsong Bows. We made some fun little mini-marshmallow skewers since the fabric on the sets had little marshmallow heads on them.


I did a mini-session for my great friend Allison and last weekend so she would have an image for her “we’ve moved” cards. We not only got “the one”, we also got a few cute bonus images, like the peek-a-boo shot.

I spent a little time last week just looking for the some of the littlest visitors to my garden. The song lyrics “take this broken wing and learn to fly again” kept popping into my head with that butterfly. The fuzzy bee stuck around for quite some time and was an easy subject. Unlike many of his other buddy bees.

I loved this tiny fly. He was so small (about half the width of my pinky nail) I had to get extremely close just even with the macro lens.


And I think this was your ordinary yellow jacket, just a strange angle that shows off his antennae.

What a sweet little gal! She was such a cooperative subject, and I won’t hold it against her that she wet my blanket
We tried a combination of studio and natural light for this session. I couldn’t resist using their gorgeous living room for the setting of a few images.
