  • A one year old… one year later…

    The photo above was sweet Sydney last year, when she was just a year old. As a one-year-old, Sydney just sat and smiled with her big blue-green eyes at the rapidly spinning world around her and at anyone who happened to pass by. And one year later… this is the same big-eyed girl, as a…

  • The same kid on the same bike… one year later…

    Above, is Hudson at his third birthday party, on his brand new bike. This photo was taken on medium format film. Below, is Hudson after his fourth birthday, standing a little bit more confidently and a little bit taller. This photo was taken with my 35mm digital. I wish I could say I planned this…

  • Day 2: Rattled goes to the Farm…

    This is the hardest post I have made yet… because there are so many cute photos, it took me a very long time to try and narrow down my favorites… but if you want to see more, you’ll just have to wait for the Rattled catalog to come out. And that is all I have…

  • Rattled = Organic Clothing for Kids that you will love… Day 1

    Katie McNicholas Winburn, from Greenville, South Carolina, was frustrated that she couldn’t find simple, practical, inexpensive and cute clothing for her toddler. She said the only clothing for toddlers that she could find either had: overwhelming patterns; awkward sayings or logos; came in pastel colors; or were too expensive… so, with the help of her…

While I generally prefer the results of film better, there are lots of benefits to digital. One huge…

  • Word of Mouth…

    I was so happy to receive an email from JoAnn this summer. JoAnn is expecting her second child and she wanted pregnancy photos as well as photos of her cute family. JoAnn got my name from Maria, the mother of the 2-year old who’s birthday party I photographed in the spring, and Maria found me…

  • Another day of photography….

    Just to give you some insight on the emotional reality of photographers… well, of this photographer anyway, I only assume other photographers feel this way too… I started off Saturday feeling nervous and unsure about my the upcoming shoot, and was wondering how much longer I will be able to keep up my highs and…

  • Another Cute One…

    I am back in South Carolina for the week and have been catching up with old friends and their new little humans. This is my friend Katie’s son, Mac, with the cutest blue eyes and absolutely no fear. He continuously tests his mom’s reflexes as he hucks himself down the slide, the stairs and whatever…

  • Ann and her girls….

    This is one of my best friends from high school, Ann, and all her girls… First came Susie…. and you can see her several times on my websites… And then came Allie…. We wanted to make sure Allie, the second child, has as many baby photos as her well documented big sister… so when Susie…
