  • Introducing… Harper Albi Harris

    Born at our home on October 14th at 12:20 am. Named after my most favorite grandparents, who taught me the importance and value of family. (photo taken by the talented Jude Mooney.) He is only three weeks old and I am still completely blown away by it all… By the fact that he was once…

  • Photography Lessons: by lil’ Margaux…

    (click on the photo for a closer look) A year ago in May, I received this email from Abby: Paige – we love your work! It would be awesome to have you document lil’ Margaux. We were thinking of doing three short photo sessions spaced out through the year. We want to get some nice…

  • Just the two of us, and Michigan…

    When our friends Sarah and James announced that they were getting married this summer in Michigan, I immediately said we’d be there. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan was a very important part of Arann’s (pre-Paige) life and yet in the eight years we have been together I still had never been there… so we decided…

  • A Photographer’s Wedding…

    Klea and Dave got married at the Westerbeke Ranch in Sonoma on July 23, 2011.

It was one of the easiest weddings that I have photographed because Klea is also a photographer so…

  • The Final Push…

    My food photography has come a long way over the past six months. But my Town Hall cook book days are numbered. It is time to turn in what we have and let the editors work their magic. Thank you Bridget, Mitch, Mary and Michael. We make a good team. I will miss our long…

  • If life gives you snow…

    And you really want to go sledding… but there are no hills… And pushing just won’t work… But you do happen to have two huge dogs… Sit on the sled and just say, “Mush!” When that doesn’t work, have someone the dogs love run really fast in front of them… And hold on tight. But…

  • This was our New Year’s eve…

    We went mussel hunting. The walk, the hunting, and even the cleaning, with the help of Outkast and champagne, were amazing. The meal… well, it needs some refining. But really, it was always about the adventure. And that is a good reminder for 2011.

  • Coaching & Creative Projects for a Well-Fed & Full Life, by Rachel Cole… (coming soon)

    Thank you, Rachel, for inviting me to come and help create the imagery for your new website. Despite the odds, I think we did pretty well, and I can’t wait to see the final results. And thank you, Bridget Farmer, for bringing your style to the styling. It is amazing what a person can do…

  • Only 321 Days Until Next Thanksgiving…

    And the Photo of the Day 2011 Album is now playing on my Paige Green Photography Facebook page.
