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.

pretty in pink.

I’m sure you’ll recognize this little girl from the sneak peek that I posted a few days ago. This is E, on the occasion of her first birthday. This was my fifth session with this family, and the last of the Baby Sprout sessions that took place throughout her first year (and actually started with...

almost perfect.

Time for another session from last fall that I never got a chance to blog. When I was going back through these photos recently to prepare them for the blog, I remembered again how much I enjoyed this session. C’s mom and I talked at length before the session… and covered everything from location to...

i have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

Do you know this poem? The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot. Ever since I first discovered it in a high school lit class, it has been one of my favorites. I actually hadn’t read it in quite a while, until just now when I looked it up to verify the exact...

if wishes were horses…

When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with animals (confession: I still sort of am). I wanted to be a veterinarian, but high school chemistry class ended that dream. Growing up, we had dogs, hamsters, fish and a rabbit, but I always really really wanted a horse. My aunt and uncle used to...

winter.

Not ten minutes ago, I took these two pics of my snow dog Kieran. He’s the absolute opposite of a camera hog, and usually hides from the camera. So any pics with him not hiding his face are a treasure. I love his snowy whiskers. Enjoy the snow!

new fangled technology? film? yes, please.

I’ve never been a very “technie” person. But I’m trying. Sort of. I joined a group of photographers for a creativity workshop, and I went to the first session today (I joined late, so I felt like the bad kid in class who hadn’t done the assignment when I turned up to the meeting today...

Looking forward…

Hello, long neglected blog. I have missed updating you. I’m still settling into life with a newborn (amazing how after only two years since my first I had already forgotten exactly how tiring it can be). But happily, he’s getting a bit more used to a nap schedule so I hope to do a lot...
