My philosophy . . .

I love working with people who are fun. Genuine. Real. And that’s what my photography is really all about: capturing the real you. I can see the connections between the members of your family and the beauty in each one of you -- and that’s what I want to capture with my camera.

I don’t do the typical matching-outfits portraits, or the canvas-backdrop-strobe-lighting-say-cheese portraits. I don’t want you to worry about having perfect hair, perfect smiles, and the kids on their best behavior. Relax. Have fun. Be yourself. I want to show you your family the way I see it through my lens: happy, beautiful, flawless in spite of the flaws.

So when I show up for your session, you don’t have to do any pretending. Just be real. I like t-shirts and jeans and flip-flops. And jammies. And mussed up hair and lollipop-stained faces. I love hugs and tickle fights and peals of laughter, and snuggles and kisses too. These things are real. This is the way I want to remember my family, and it’s the way I want to help you remember yours.

I love one-year-olds!

Saturday, September 27, 2008

Seriously, is one year old as good as it gets for kids? It must be! These one-year-olds I’ve been shooting lately are amazing! I met Jake last night, who just turned one on Tuesday, and I’m smitten! I don’t know how I get so lucky to shoot all these beautiful kids, but they really make my job easy!

His parents aren’t too tough on the eyes either . . .

We had a blast, running and playing and enjoying some gorgeous sunset light . . .

I love this one. Between the yummy light and that tender look on dad’s face, it couldn’t get much better:

Ha!

I told you, I’m smitten:

You may or may not be able to tell from these photos, but Jake is going to be a big brother in December!

Alright, I really can’t bear deciding what else to show you, so I’m just going to show you the whole session! Turn on your speakers and enjoy!

Linus is celebrating the all-important first birthday this month, so we got together Saturday morning for a photo session to commemorate the occasion! I work with Linus’s mom, and she and her husband are my heroes: they have just moved into a new house, but managed to clear enough space for us to do the shoot at their new home! How they managed, I’ll never know. But I was really glad they did, because the light was gorgeous–and so was Linus! I’m such a sucker for those big brown eyes . . . Take a look!
