There comes a point in any extended vacation (I don’t care if you’re in Europe or at the lake house two hours away) where your mind starts to focus more on home (and all that you have to look forward to when you get back—laundry, bills to pay, floors to vaccum) than the itinerary still...

Sarah and Adam: Sneak Peek
The more weddings I photograph, the more I realize this: That anything can happen on your wedding day. And in the case of Sarah and Adam, anything did.
There were grand plans for an outdoor ceremony under a beautiful, lantern-strewn pergola. Then Mother Nature shook her wet head all over those intentions and these two had...
The Romano Family: Sneak Peek
This is a family so dear to me I don’t even know where to start. They are sweet, they are real, and the love you see a glimpse of here in two frames? It’s so so SO genuine. But I didn’t have to even tell you that, right?
I’ll shush now with the promise...
August Self-Portrait: The Summer of the Bun
I don’t know what part of the country (or world) you all live in, but here in Indiana, it has been a BRUTAL summer. So many days with temperatures in the 90s I’ve now lost count. So hot that chickens somewhere have gotta be laying hard-boiled eggs. And so humid you could come back from...
Notes on taking (better) care of my body AND my soul
The other day a friend of mine shared a link on Facebook to an old article from O Magazine and whereas I sometimes find the content in Queen O’s magazine a bit too…too, I don’t know…preachy? kumbaya-ish? too something anyway, this piece grabbed my attention when I read: “We in the developed world mostly take...
Travelogue: When in Rome
First dates and stepping foot someplace new— instances when first impressions REALLY count. When it came to Rome, well, Nick and I didn’t exactly have the best first impression. We arrived after midnight. Despite the late hour, it was still broiling hot. 85 degrees maybe? Our cabby dropped us off not AT our hotel, but,...
Ten on Tuesday
I have the lovely Ally of Ally Writes to thank for the introduction to this blogging idea but now that I’ve discovered it, I can’t get enough! So here goes…my first installment of Ten on Tuesday. I don’t know if I’ll be able to hit these every Tuesday, but I’m sure I’ll be curious enough...
#47 … check and mark!
#47) Shoot my first maternity shoot
It was early spring when I made this 101 in 1001 list, and shortly after I first blogged about it, April contacted me. “So how about I make that #47 happen for you?” I got to photograph April’s family earlier this summer and I think it’ll always be one of...
Travelogue: An American in Paris
There are monuments and then there are MONUMENTS. And for the rest of my life, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the way I felt upon leaving our hotel that first afternoon in Paris, walking toward the Champs de Mars and spotting the tip of the Eiffel Tower through the trees. “NICK! THERE IT IS!!!...
My best friend’s expecting!
There are best friends. The ones you meet in college and at work and at book club. And then there are best friends. The ones who’ve been by your side so long you simply can’t remember them not being there.
Tracy is that kind of friend. The one who had the best birthday parties growing up,...
