  • Looking East…

    Hello All, I am about to embark on another adventure… this time I am heading East. First I will be in Greenville, South Carolina, then over to the North Carolina coast, then up to Philadelphia, and finally to New York. I would love to add some cute families or fun portraits to my itinerary, so…

  • Expect the Unexpected….

    This is an example of the kind of unexpectedness to expect from the Rollei, which I talked about in the last entry. Not sure what happened, but there is not much photoshop can do for this… so hopefully you like large alien blobs across the only three photos I took on my Rollei of this…

  • Two Midwesterners and Their New California Boy….

    It’s baby time! Seems like everyone we know is multiplying… which is fun for me. Meet Michael, the son of two amazingly talented and loving people. When he gets a little bigger he will no doubt: play music, grow vegetables, go to Antarctica, love hiking, and have cute dimples just like his parents. But for…

  • Expecting….

    I wasn’t able to make it to my friend Tauni’s baby shower a couple of months ago, but earlier she had mentioned she wanted some pregnancy photos, so as a present, I promised we would make it happen. And tonight, three weeks away from her due date, we had our pregnancy photo session with her…

  • We are submitting this week…

    Jude and I met yesterday and picked our top 15 photos to submit to the stock agency in order to hopefully get accepted and hopefully start getting paid for all the fun photo shoots we have been having. Here are 5 of our favorites that have not been posted yet… to see some of the…

  • 15 minutes of Cute Baby Faces…

    Congratulations to our friends Susannah and Rich on making a super cute baby. Elena was born on May 16th and has been keeping them busy and entertained ever since. We invaded their get-away to the Bay this week and arrived just in time for chocolate cake, the sunset, and Elena’s 15 minutes of awake time…

  • The Difference Three Years Can Make….

    When I took this photo of my friend Juliet, almost exactly three years ago, it was hard to even imagine how much all of our lives were going to change. We had no idea who that little human inside her belly was going to be, let alone who the the next one was going to…

  • What does stock photography mean?

    Another Petaluma photographer, Jude Mooney, and I are working on building a library of images to join a stock photography agency (click here to see related posts.) So we have been asking everyone we know to help us by modeling for us so we can have enough photos to join… but some people are hesitant…

  • I’m Back… and happy about it.

    I am back from London and trying to climb out of my photo editing pile. I have lots and lots and lots of photos to work my way through… but in the meantime I am trying to balance my computer time, with some fun time. And this morning, although I promised myself I was going…

  • Back to Bed

    First I have to say, I am so excited because last week I received two emails from mothers who saw my work on the internet and wanted to hire me to take photos of their families. Yay for the internet, and yay for internet savy mothers. Now back to this week, these photos are from…
