Let me tell you a story… On Christmas morning I woke up groggy after a weekend spent in bed coughing & fighting a cold. My teenagers slept. My dog slept. My husband slept. My five-year-old danced around the Christmas tree singing, “Wake up, wake up, wake up!” I heard her thump down the stairs to go rouse her tall brother with more singing. I heard the coffee pot trickle when the hubs got up. The first thing I did… Read more »

Not MY backyard actually – their backyard! But I’ve been thinking about this concept for a while now & this session was like the last piece of the puzzle. I will make an announcement about these special sessions soon! I was invited to come photograph the whole awesome family as a Mother’s Day gift. Elyse is a treasured friend that I’ve kept in touch with in spite of moving hours & hours away & big job changes for both… Read more »
I have a soft spot for sisters. Ever since my own daughter became a big sister I’ve been sensitive to the tenderness between oldest & littlest, especially with an age gap wide enough to stall squabbles. (For now, true true. haha) I’m the baby in my own family, lucky to have big sisters I can lean on, so I get it. I think for a long time I did not, but I do now. And in these two, I see… Read more »
How do you handle big changes? I’ve had some doozies in the last 5 or so years. My quick answer would be to say I roll with it, because I do. Any other option is just torturing yourself, right? Resist all you like with mule braying & pouting, or better yet with minute planning & exacting details (laugh & laugh & laugh), but things change anyway. When I roll, I put myself to work. If I’m not careful I’m a bit… Read more »
Time flies. I feel pretty lucky every time I schedule a family session. Its so obvious & fun to get pictures of the children, capturing how they are growing up, the gummy smiles, their big exaggerated tears, all the overall sentimental cuteness. Its easy to forget as parents to get in the picture because we’re all, um… grown up. But really, what a blur life can be with three small kids under your belt. Twins boys! And a baby brother! And yet… Read more »
My family is getting ready to move! The husband landed his dream job & we will be relocating to the Trenton/Philly area.

Til then all portrait SESSION FEES are $75 That’s more than half off I hope we can squeeze in some time together Let me know!… Read more »
It felt warm & sunny. On this in between-seasons kind of day, we headed for a park with a graceful weeping willow, a wet creek for rock throwing & left our jackets at home. Later, we gave the family baby a pumpkin to hold just to remind us, yes, yes it is Fall. There’s a secret going on in this shot that’s really REALLY funny. (And all my fault.) But I won’t tell. She is so warm &… Read more »
I was recently invited to a birthday party for twin girls. There was pink & there was purple, & except for the bounce house, pretty much TWO of everything. Did I say pretty? That was the recurrent theme of the day. Pretty. Their mama had her work cut out for her getting two squirmy, wriggling, excited little girls dresssed in pretty party dresses… but mom’s know how to keep their cool. Ready to party, these two… Read more »
