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!

style.

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.

wrapping up a year.

This is another one of my Baby Sprout clients. I photographed her newborn session, and then I was lucky enough to see her three more times in her first year. She’s a one year old and not a baby anymore, and this was the last session of the four. It’s always a little bittersweet for...

completely booked for 2009.

As of a couple of weeks ago, I am completely booked for 2009.  With my second child due in December, I am taking on a reduced schedule in early 2010 (I will be photographing current Baby Sprout and past clients only) but will be back to my normal schedule starting in April 2010.  If you...

mother. nature.

This maternity session took place on one of the most gorgeous fall evenings we’ve had this year. Right around sunset is such a wonderful time for a photo session, and it’s not a time of day that I actually get to shoot very often unless it’s a maternity, engagement or wedding session (the so-called “witching...

adorable family.

I first photographed the H family last summer. Back then, little O was their only child. This year, they ventured down to Madison from Milwaukee (thank you for that!) and I was lucky enough to photograph not only Mr. O but also his new little sister, Miss N.  How things change in a year! One...

Autumn with the Animals (even a monkey!)

This past weekend was fantastic. Finally good weather, sunshine, and a chance to get out and do some of those fall activities that have been sitting on the backburner as we waited out the gloomy skies and rain (which I hear might be returning again tomorrow). Saturday the boys and I went to the Dane...

in the park.

I went to the nature park for this session a little while back (back when I thought that weekend was just a fluke and the warm weather would be returning shortly… ha! Little did I know). I loved this location! Such a variety of scenery there. I did notice on the way out that there...

andrea & eric.

This past Saturday was one of those very bright, very crisp, very autumnal days. I was lucky enough to spend the day photographing the beautiful wedding of Andrea and Eric here in Madison. Their wedding was lovely, from the gorgeous wedding gown to the absolutely perfect flowers (I really was in love with them).  Granted,...

the epitome of autumn.

I had to make a lot of collages for this blog post, so that I wouldn’t totally overwhelm you all with the sheer number of images. I am in love with this photo session. The little girl was cute beyond words, so very happy, and had some of the most soulful eyes I have ever...

sisters.

I have a lot of blog posts to share with you over the next few days, so I might not be quite as wordy in the introductions for these next few.  A little while back, I photographed three adorable sisters at the studio and in the neighborhood right around here. It was a fun adventure....

fall portraits and holiday cards.

It is officially October. Pumpkins, apple cider, football games and autumn leaves. And in my world, it also means that I am extremely busy trying to fit in a number of portrait sessions in the next few weeks before I officially start my maternity leave. I’ve had a number of inquiries in the past few...
