  • Almost a Toddler…

    Any day now this little one will be up and running… But for now… she is still a cute little baby for just a little while longer. Thank you for playing, Miss Noa. It was a pleasure to meet you today.

  • Somedays it is hard to believe that things will ever be different, but someday we will need to remember…

    Remember how Nathaniel always loved his rocking horse… Remember when you only had one… Remember when Alexander wouldn’t smile for the camera… Remember when life felt absolutely crazy… Remember when your arms were sore from always holding someone… And your bellies were sore from always laughing… Remember the kisses that squished your cheeks and left…

  • Four Hands (always) Full…

    …with one very delightful two year old… ….and two teeny tiny two month old twins… …makes for two super sleepy parents. But it also makes for one awesome photo shoot. I had so much fun photographing the continuous baby juggling and I hope to get to come back again when the twins are a little…

  • A very simple story about very good ice cream…

    These two women, Anne and Kris, needed a kitchen to bake their baked goods for the Bi-Rite Market. Eventually they found a kitchen that also had a store in the front, so they needed something to sell. They couldn’t just sell their baked goods because the store front is right next to another very delicious…

    This is my talented photographer friend, Jessamyn, and her one month old, Symphony. The hard part about being a photographer, is that you are never in any photographs. Jessamyn can, and will, take thousands of amazing photos of her new little human. But what she can’t do is photograph herself with her new little amazing…

  • Bedtime routine…

    On my trip through the South, I got to visit my friend, Ann, and her girls again. Which was nice, because the last time I saw her youngest daughter, Allie, she was just propping herself up on her elbows. A lot can change in a year and a half… And some things remain the same.

  • This is Lily…

    Lily turned three years old this month. One of the presents Lily got for her birthday was a whole bag of tootsie roll pops. And the month before that, she got a baby sister. I learned from hanging out with Lily that three is the perfect age to become a big sister… But I also…

  • Two very different babies…

    I met up with an old college friend today, who I haven’t seen in way too long. It was fun to catch up on all that has happened over the past several years and to meet the two very different babies in her life… Both of her babies are always very happy to see you……
