“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...

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 …

While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about. ~Angela Schwindt As I was reflecting on my recent photo session of this sweet 16 month old little girl, I couldn’t help but re-connect so strongly with the very reason that led me to photograph children...

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. …
November 23, 2009 - 1:26 pm - Stunning photographs & gorgeous girls! I'm sure their family & friends will be blown away by the card they receive this year!
This little one makes me smile ear to ear everytime i see her. This first image is from her 6 1/2 month photo session last year. I was so happy to see miss della still had this incredible face scrunching giggle one year later. How adorable is she? I must …

i’ve met and photographed so many unique families lately and this one was no exception. in fact, i’ve wanted to meet this family since they first emailed me in the fall of 2007! i was so excited when they wrote again a few weeks ago to see about documenting this special time. not only are...
May 27, 2009 - 3:14 pm - Oh Teri! These are absolutely beautiful. You captured the true essence of our family, especially Abby! You have me in tears. Thank you for sharing your talent with our family and for giving us a way to capture this specail time in our lives, to treasure always. Sara
May 27, 2009 - 7:02 pm - Thank you Sara for your kind words; it means so much! I had such a great time hanging out and getting to know you guys. I can't wait to show you the rest, by the way.. this hardly covers my favorites! :)
May 27, 2009 - 7:36 pm - How beautiful, Sara! I love the photos of Abby - can't wait to see the baby boy! And you are such a radiant mama.

this is a very special family that i really miss seeing on a regular basis. we use to see each other a few times a week at santa monica gymnastics, where i use to teach. you can catch a glimpse of miss A.’s reminiscences of the gym in one of the photos below. once you’re...
May 14, 2009 - 10:36 pm - These are just beautiful. I love how you captured each child's personality. The picture of C. playing on the floor will forever be a reminder of this time in her life. I want A. to have the picture of her holding C. when she grows up, so I can remind her what an awesome big sister she is. You can almost see little N's mind figuring out the world in these pictures. I can't wait to see more. Thank you so much for sharing the day with our family.
May 14, 2009 - 11:29 pm - thank you, kimberly! it was so wonderful to spend the day together - your family is an inspiration! A. is such an awesome big sister and i was thrilled when i captured that moment.. i knew it would be special. and i have to tell you, i'm missing C.'s tight hugs already! hope to see you guys again soon. thanks again!
May 17, 2009 - 10:39 pm - C and A and N are growing like weeds!!! K looks the same- a beautiful, loving mom. The photos are very evocative of their essence. It's like you captured a story in each photo, and I can picture movement and conversation, and what might have been going on.
May 17, 2009 - 11:08 pm - thank you michael! it's very encouraging to know that you can see their essence in the photos. that was definitely my ultimate goal! it's very different (in a wonderful way) to photograph a family i've known for awhile. :)
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 …
April 20, 2009 - 10:30 am - awesome! let's play!
April 28, 2009 - 5:34 pm - Stunning!
May 2, 2009 - 8:51 am - Simply breathtaking... You've captured the essence of a child's heart... so free... open to the world and all it's beauty. 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.
