  • I Don’t Play Favorites…

    I just returned from my visit to South Carolina, where I spent most of my time with my mom. But during my last few days at home I also visited a couple of friends who I have known since elementary school, and who now have kids of their own that they wanted photographed. And because…

  • Playing is recommended for all ages…

    This is two-year old Griffin. Griffin’s dad asked me before the photo shoot what they should do to prepare for our two hour photo shoot. I told him I would like to take any exploring, playing, or learning photos, because that is what you do when you are two. So when I arrived for the…

  • Happy Independence Day, America…

    The only fireworks I saw this year were on my mom’s shirt. We had a very quiet 4th, celebrating with mac and cheese, a bottle of wine and a bad movie. As we were hidden away in the suburbs of rural South Carolina, I thought about all the people out there celebrating with lots of…

    …thank you for making my best friend (since 5th grade) so happy. I am so excited to be a part of your celebration in March, and I hope you always make each other smile as much as you did today.

Luckily I made it home just in time to hold his head as he…

  • A day of edible beauty…

    Well, I wanted to boost my food photography portfolio… so I made it happen at Windrush Farm, with the help of the Gardening, Baking, Styling, and Photography Dream Team… Most of the veggies and flowers were grown and harvested by: Rebecca Bozzelli at the Sonoma Garden Park, Paul Wirtz at Oak Hill Farm and Mimi…

  • You Just Have to Wait…

    I had an amazing Sunday… it was full of yummy fresh homemade food that was grown, prepared, baked and styled by incredibly talented people. And I can’t wait to share my new collection of food photos… but you just have to wait… because this is slow food. I only have 300 more photos to sort…

  • Love Yourself… and Wait for the Right Ladybug to Come into Focus…

    This is my beautiful friend Shari. She is embarking on a new adventure and she needed some photos of herself… even though she is not a fan of being photographed. In an effort to get her to forget about the camera, we spent the day slowly catching up, sipping on champagne to ease her photo…

  • I don’t care just where you go… as long as it’s with me…

    …And I don’t mind just what you do, as long, as long as it’s with me, too. Happy Birthday to my favorite dancer, singer, chef, chicken, fire starter, hot skater guy, farmer, camp counselor, rock star, hiker, kick-baller, traveler, sunflower, model and best friend.
