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.

Abundant sunshine.

Yesterday I photographed the wedding of a wonderful, funny, joyful couple. The ceremony and reception both took place in a family member’s backyard, and I have to say that I think it all suited them absolutely perfectly. I have gone completely overboard in the number of photos I included in this post — but I...

Sweetness personified.

Little A just turned one year old, and she certainly is a sweet little girl! I really enjoyed the photo session with her and her parents at the Allen Centennial Gardens last weekend.

A was always on the go, and was very interested in exploring the gardens.

One of my favorite things in the world: a baby...

Brothers.

J and J are 5 and 6 year old brothers with a LOT of energy to run around and play on a sunny summer afternoon. When I got home from this session, I honestly had to sit down on the couch for a little bit to catch my breath!

When I showed the photos to my...

Joyous anticipation.

(I am so behind in my blogging, and this makes me upset because I have so many beautiful images to share with all of you! So I will do my very best to blog every day this week. Get ready!)
I shot this lovely maternity session last weekend in Olbrich Botanical Gardens. What I really enjoyed...

Beautiful family, beautiful light.

Since it’s summer and the days are longer, I love that I’m able to shoot sessions in the Madison area on weekday evenings. Just this past Friday, I had the absolute privilege of photographing a beautiful family (complete with delightful daughter and sweet grandmother!). I uploaded these images and just fell in love with...

Summertime.

A little while back, on a very bright and sunny summer day, I ventured out to the country for a photoshoot. This photoshoot had a few different purposes (family photos, 3 month photos, business headshot). Very varied, but fun. You might recognize the little girl from this session — or more likely, you might recognize...

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! Mine was very nice and relaxing — so wonderful to have warm sunny weather on a long holiday weekend. I am a little behind in my blogging, but wanted to make sure to get some photos up from this session. I was in love with this little...
