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 …
realizing life while we live it
“I didn’t realize. All that was going on in life and we never noticed… Good-bye, Good-bye, world. Good-bye, Grover’s Corners… Good-bye to clocks ticking and Mama’s sunflowers… And new-ironed dresses and hot baths. And sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any human beings ever realize life...

moving update..
Is it odd that I’m surrounded by boxes and I STILL don’t think we are actually moving? Well, the movers come tomorrow so I have a feeling this is going to happen whether I am ready or not. I will be taking portrait commissions in West Michigan as of late-October 2010. I will also …

inside all of us is LOVE..
Have you seen Where the Wild Things Are? I loved it. I saw it about a month ago and it keeps coming back to my mind. I loved the emotion, the symbolism, the imagery, and most of all, I loved when the wild things would jump into their pile and fall asleep. …

encinitas beach session..
I traveled down to Encinitas a couple of Saturdays ago to meet the most awesome family! Both parents not only grew up in Southern California beach towns, but they currently live on the beach… so, it only made sense to photograph them there. Encinitas happens to be the coolest beach I’ve ever seen, …
a sunless sunset (but beautiful nonetheless)

“we take ourselves too seriously”
This was an evident theme in my yoga class this morning taught by Govindas (an amazing, amazing yoga instructor at SMPY). He also spoke of playfulness: letting ourselves go, letting go of worry, and letting go of self consciousness. As adults, we so easily lose sight of what it’s like to just be… to …

Thank you for your talent in capturing the most precious moments in life! Any chance we could replace the nightly news with a slideshow of your pictures? ;-)
May 7, 2010 - 1:46 pm - That first photograph is perfection, it brought a big smile to my face. I adore her confidence in the last photograph. They are incredible moving real moments full of light and life. Beautiful work.
