welcome.

Hello and welcome to my photoblog. I am delighted to have you here! This blog serves as a way of sharing my most recent photo sessions with clients and their family and friends, and is also the first place to hear recent announcements about the studio as well as special blog-reader only discounts.

I am a primarily natural light portrait photographer based out of Madison, Wisconsin. My focus is on babies, children and families, although I also love to shoot a limited number of weddings per year. My portrait sessions take place entirely on location -- either at your home or at another location around Madison. I love to explore new places, so I'm very open to your suggestions. And of course, I have some favorite spots that I'm always ready to explore again as well.

In addition to my blog, please also check out my main website (it is the "my website" link on the menu above). If you have any questions or would like to book a session, please click on the "contact me" link in the menu above to send me an e-mail. Thanks again for stopping by, and please enjoy your visit!

My approach toward photography is deceptively simple: catch real moments of your children really being themselves. Silly giggles, sweet kisses from mommy, tickles from a big sister, laughing while watching doggie run through the park... These are the moments that make up real life. These are the moments from childhood that pass by all too fast. And these moments, to me, are where the real beauty of childhood resides. The same philosophy governs my approach to wedding photography.

My style is largely photojournalistic and non-obtrusive, while at the same time I am always working to create beautiful and lasting memories of life as it unfolds. The most common words used to describe my photographs are the ones I have chosen as the tagline for my studio: Modern. Fun. Real. Life. People often comment that my photographs have a sense of warmth and emotion to them -- which I consider the highest compliment possible.

We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it.

The very definition of “glowing”

Holy cow, was this ever a busy weekend. Prepare for lots of posts this week! It was tiring, but lots of fun.
First up, I was delighted to shoot some maternity photographs of a wonderful woman who is expecting TWINS! After seeing her and listening to her talk about her little babies, I really understood why...

Lions and tigers and babies - oh my!

A couple of weeks ago, a lovely mom contacted me to see whether I’d be interested in doing a photo session of her little girl (about 7 months old) with her grandparents at the Milwaukee County Zoo. Why sure!

It was an adventure. I hadn’t been to that particular zoo since I was about 8 years...

Lessons from a newborn.

Sometimes, despite the best efforts of their parents, newborns choose to feel a little bit fussy on the day of their photo session. They might cry a little (or rather a lot). They might feel hungry sometimes (or often). When this happens, the best thing to do is to cuddle that little one tight, give...

Double the sweetness.

How fun is this? On Saturday, I photographed not only an adorable month old baby boy, but also his funny, giggly, beautiful big sister.

When we were exchanging e-mails to set up the session, their mom was a little worried about how a session with a toddler and a newborn would go. Once I got there,...
