It’s been SO fun to edit these images over the past few days; seeing my best friend radiant as a new mother with her cute-as-can-be daughter is as much a gift to me as giving these images is to her. When you have people you love in your life, you love seeing them in a...

An afternoon in Red Rock Canyon
I’d be remiss if I didn’t wrap up last month’s trip out to Vegas with a blog post about our visit out to Red Rock Canyon. The place was so gorgeous in its desert-y kind of way. Great word, right? Desert-y. But you know what I mean — giant rocks everywhere, yucca plants, that baked...
Mallory: Sneak Peek
Over the weekend, when I wasn’t inhaling paint fumes (our living room painting project is in progress), I was loving on my best friend’s little baby girl, Mallory. Tracy is my go-to girl and I adore capturing every milestone in this little lovie’s life (from in the womb to newborn to now). We had planned...
Best of 2010: Portrait Sessions
Sureeeee…we photographers love putting these year-end posts together for our blog followers. But we’re kidding ourselves if we don’t admit that a big reason we spend time pulling ‘em off is for reflection — to remind us of what we’ve accomplished in any given year.
For me, the end of 2010 has brought about a kind...
The Bergstrom Family
Some days I wish I had a teleporter sitting in my garage. ‘Cause if I did, I’d be shuttling Nick and I out at least once a month to pay a visit to Emily, Joe and Baby Juniper in Idaho. Yes, IDAHO. Where they live. As in hundreds (thousands?!) of miles away. But they were...
The Murphy-Haywood Family
It’s not every day you get a prospective client who wants something a little different. When Ali contacted me back in September, it was with that goal in mind. Surrreee she wanted those images that look great on the Christmas card. But what she was really after was documenting more of everyday life and all...
Bergstrom Family: Sneak Peek
I don’t know where the past 10 years have gone. It seems like time just flies (isn’t that what everybody says?) So when I sat down and tried to recall how long it’s been that I’ve known Emily, I did one of those mental double takes that involved a lot of capital letters and exclamation...
Erin and Adam
Those first few moments of any session with a client, I like to look for little clues that shed light on who it is I’m really photographing. With couples, it’s often shared looks, squeezes of the hand, laughter in acknowledgment that this venture they’re embarking upon with me is, well, awkward at best. At first...
The Murphy-Haywood Family: Sneak Peek
Capturing their every day moments together, the routines that make up a family. That’s what Ali requested of me with this session. And that’s what—as I edit through these images—I hope to deliver to her. Starting with these two—so much more, coming up….

Erin and Adam: Sneak Peek
Launching a photo biz is a sure-fire way to bring friends from your past back into your present. I knew Erin from our years in junior high and high school together, and while she moved before the beginning of our sophomore year, I remembered her personality as laid-back, fun and sarcastic. Oh, and that she...
