  • the best present ever…

    After spending the month of November buying a house, remodeling, moving, photographing families and sending out photos for other people’s Christmas presents… it was time for me to think about my own Christmas presents. But I was feeling unmotivated, broke and out of time (we only had 18 days in our new home before our…

  • No warm-up necessary this year…

    This was the third year in a row that I photographed Jasmine and her parents… …which, I learned, makes for a very comfortable and very action-packed photo shoot. No warm-up time necessary this year, Little Miss Jasmine was ready to go… And so was I… after spending 72 continuous hours working on getting our new…

  • it is all about people…

    I may photograph food, products, events, and flowers… but for me, it is all about the people. So I get excited when family portrait season comes around and families invite me in to their homes for an hour, or even better, for an afternoon, and I get to play… I enjoy it so much that…

  • one year…

    one year ago… …one year later. one year ago: two people (and a dog) full to the brim with nervous anticipation from the mountain of, ‘what if’s,’ and, ‘what next’s,’ and, ‘how in the world’s?’ one year later: three people (and a dog) chuckling comfortably as if we knew what we were doing all along.…

  • Almost Time to Celebrate… But Not Quite…

    It is “almost time to celebrate” because finally my new website is up! But it is “not quite” time to celebrate because in the process of moving everything I messed up my email… opps. So… this is not quite the grand opening I was hoping for… instead this is more like the dress rehearsal. But…

  • This is what’s going on at our house these days…

    It has been awhile since my last post, so I thought I’d at least share what we are working on… In addition to learning how to grab our toes, roll-over, fly, drool, and laugh… we are also working on my new website. Because now that we have this parenting thing figured out (as demonstrated in…

  • Thank You For the Love…

    To show my love and gratitude for all of the encouragement and support I have received from everyone, I am giving away a copy of my first cook book. Leave a message on my Paige Green Photography page by Friday and I’ll randomly select a winner. Thank you!

  • It’s the year of the Head Shot…

    So far my first three photo shoots this year have been head shots… which is way more exciting for me than for the person I am photographing. Typically I get some pretty big groans and grumbles and usually the common expression, “I hate having my photo taken,” comes out. And I say, “Yes, me too,…

  • Eight months strong…

    This was Elizabeth on day one of her chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer… This is what happened next… Eight months later, Elizabeth is doing great. She is more beautiful than ever and her positive attitude is inspiring… but her trip through cancer is not over yet.

  • Homage…

    I am excited to kick off a creative new year with a group photography show at Toby’s Feed Barn in Point Reyes Station… Each photographer was asked to pay “homage” to something and I chose to pay “homage” to the amazing women I have been lucky to photograph. We would love for you to come…
