Remember the cherry blossoms?
It's already been a few weeks since the peak of DC's cherry blossoms and I'm just now getting around to posting images from the session that I photographed then. William's mom Christina called me with a special request to schedule an outdoor session amidst the famous...

Birthday girl
It's been a few weeks since I last posted, but I'm finally catching up a bit. It's been a busy time thanks to all the new bookings now that spring has arrived. I had the pleasure of photographing Aspen right after her first birthday, just days after she took her first...
The session album
I got my first sample album in the mail a couple of weeks ago and finally had a chance to take some pictures of it to post here. I am so pleased with the quality of the book. Each one is custom made from scratch with your choice from over 40 fabrics for the cover. I...
Storyboard ideas
I just wanted to post some ideas for multi-image layouts that I recently presented to Cecelia's parents. Plus it's a good excuse for me to show off more images from this shoot. It's so tough to narrow it down to just a few; I have so many favorites! Back in my...
Little porcelain doll
There's something classic, yet contemporary about these photos of Cecelia. I always ask my clients if they have any handmade blankets or clothing that we can use during the photo session. These hand-knitted items are a perfect example; they add a little something...
We’re not done yet
This was just Round 1 with Andie, but there will be more to come soon!
Baby with the biggest smile
Fallon's mom wanted to make sure we captured a gummy smile before Fallon's first teeth came in. Fallon made the job easy, obliging us with endless big grins. I'm looking forward to 3 more shoots with Fallon over the course of the next year to see how she blossoms....
Custom Photography: I couldn’t have said it better myself
A new client said to me recently that once she saw the photos I shot of her friend's baby she would never again be satisfied bringing her daughter to a department store portrait studio. Then she called me to set up her own shoot, ready to make the...
Great light: Returning to the scene of the crime
I have an assortment of new products of which I'm slowly ordering samples. For the fine art canvas gallery wraps, I just had to use this image. It looks gorgeous (if I do say so myself). For a detailed description of gallery wraps, check out this post. The light in my...
Stella and the boxer
From the moment I walked in the door and got a warm welcome from the family dog Jackson, I knew that he'd make a great model especially juxtaposed with tiny Stella. Stella felt like a feather in my arms compared to my now 9 month old son. It wasn't so long ago, but...
You asked about family photos…
...so I'm posting an example of the kind that I like best. This is a really nice candid moment.
It’s a girl!
Colette was my first baby girl shoot. I don't know what's up with all the boys, but this little sweetie loved posing for the camera and we got some amazing images as a result. I think this one is a portfolio contender. What do you think?
My new favorite
I was looking through my archives and came across this little gem, which looks like an oil painting to me. It's my new favorite.
Teething Baby
Liam had a lot of pain from teething during our shoot. It's a tough situation when the star of the show is feeling so lousy, but a cute baby is a cute baby even when he's crying. Fortunately we got a few smiles too.
Faves of Finn
Here are a couple of favorites from my shoot with Finn. He's my first subject since I launched my new website so he is featured prominently there. He has the best spikey hair!
Jake: then and now.
Finally, my first post: Look how much Jake has changed in 5 months! 1 week old 5 months old
