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.

Portrait of a 10 month old.

It has been too long since I have blogged! Can you believe that it’s almost turkey day already? Where did November go? Meet P. He is ten months old, and was such an energetic little man. This session took place just about two weeks ago, on one of those cold gray days that makes...

9 days old.

It has been a little while since I’ve photographed a newborn, and I’ve really missed it! This is baby N, who was just nine days old when I took these photos yesterday. He was born on election day — but don’t worry, his parents and grandparents all did their civic duty by voting early. Little...

That toddlin’ town.

A few more photos from the session I mentioned the other day… I don’t normally travel outside of southcentral Wisconsin for my photo sessions, but this one was an exception. Little G is one of my favorite models, and just so happens to be about a week younger than my son. Her mom and I...

Moments.

About a week and a half ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Jill from Etikette and her lovely family. In between then and now, both my son and I caught a little cold so I hadn’t looked closely at the images since I uploaded them to my computer. Today I edited their session, and...

Can I just title this post as awesome?

‘Cause I really can’t think of any other words. These photos feature one of the coolest couples I have ever met, and their equally super cool dog named Steve. I photographed them last year in the fall, so we reprised that again this year. Something cute that happened during this shoot… we were taking pictures...

On the cusp of cooler weather.

The weather this week has been unseasonably warm. My little guy and I have been doing lots of trips to the playground, trying to get as much time logged in there as we can before the weather really gets cold! I admit I love being able to go outside in a t-shirt and no coat...

The results!

I am pleased to announce the results of the election photo contest! It seems like an appropriate day to do that.
The voting was fast and furious. Over the course of the contest, there were over 600 votes and over 2,900 views of the post (I can guess that was a result of some poll watchers)....

Growing up (so fast).

My family ventured down to Chicago today for a couple of reasons: to see the big city again after quite a long break, to hang out with some friends who live in the area, and to take some photographs of their adorable little 15 month old. Right now, I’m particularly partial to 15 month olds...
