some days are a little bit extraordinary.
January 10, 2012 - 2:09 pm - I LOVE all of these shots... the kids are always adorable-- but the last shot of Jennie & Steve is amazing! Why didn't that make the card, Jennie!?!? XOXO
beautiful ordinary moments, indeed.
When I first reviewed the photographs from my NYC portrait sessions, the irony leapt off the screen… my favorite images were not captured amidst extraordinary Central Park landmarks or sweeping cityscapes. The photographs that instantly grabbed my attention and tugged at my heart were the quiet moments when an honest glance seamlessly intersected with the click of my shutter. Upon this wise mom’s request, I was honored to document a simple glimpse of their “everyday.” Afterall, it is inside their fleeting childhood bedrooms and on the bustling city streets where life actually happens. Beautifully ordinary moments, indeed.

there’s really nothing better than documenting kids being exactly who they are today.
summer days in michigan..
loved seeing how much these 3 little ladies have grown up, how much they love their michigan summers, the big swing, the land, their horse.

Anna has the face of a super model in the close up on the swing. I love Naomi pensively looking up to the oncoming storm. And Claire is always precious.
August 18, 2011 - 11:03 am - Thank you Cheryl. Your granddaughters are lovely little models, without even knowing it ;) They are so easy to capture, because they live so fully in the moment. I loved every minute with them!
this is it. / this is life.
Nothing else matters, but the people we love and loving the land on which we live and breathe. Forget concrete and cars, careers and conflicts… instead, let’s escape for a day. We’ll leap over puddles and laugh ‘til we cry. We’ll gaze up at the birds and rest easy as the storm clouds pass.
In these moments, it’s true… nothing else matters.

April 13, 2011 - 7:07 am - Your welcome, Lynn. Your family is in my thoughts.. I hope they experience relief very soon. Photographing your girls was true inspiration to me to hang on to what matters. Their spirits are so bright and free.. it's contagious!
there are two boys who love to fly.
On two winter days And across the country apart, There are two boys who love to fly. With their wide eyes turned up to the sky, I see they are dreamers already. The first set of images was taken in December in Los Angeles, California. The second set was taken earlier this evening in Grand...

looking back and catching up..
Looking back to last August/September when we were amidst the final stretch of planning and preparation for our big move, the days swirled together and vanished like leaves blowing in the wind. Spending time with close friends, visiting my favorite places, and photographing some of my wonderful clients during this brief and bittersweet time …
