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.

nostalgia.

Is it possible to be nostalgic for something that isn’t even really gone? It’s September now. My three year old and I are in search of a new playground since the kids are now back in school and using the one that we used to frequent.  The start of the football season is almost here...

chronology of a session, and some news

I decided to do something new with this blog post and tell a bit of the story behind the images. I thought this was the perfect session to use for this sort of endeavor on the blog and also to accompany this small announcement : I will be closing the studio portion of my business...

happy as the grass was green.

These are just cell phone camera pics, but I adore them. I wish I had my better camera with me, but I’m still so happy I took them. I guess is another example of why you should always, always have a camera with you to capture these little moments. It all goes by so fast....

playing catch up

I am behind in blogging, but I cannot stop myself from posting a full blog entry about this lovely family that came in for their session in the studio in February. You can tell it’s an older session if you look closely at the trees out the window — very bare! Their little guy has...

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...

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...

Two thousand and nine.

What a year. I opened the studio, went to a fantastic photo workshop, did a bit of traveling, and added a new member to my family! In addition to all of this, I also had the great pleasure of photographing so many beautiful families, babies, children, and pets, as well as a number of absolutely...

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....

little boy blue.

This is Mr. J. I photographed his newborn session just about a year ago, and now he’s already a year old. I have to admit, one of my favorite parts about being a photographer is being able to watch the little ones grow up. Now that I’ve been in business for a while, it’s...

brothers and sisters.

Here’s a bit of trivia for you: I am an only child. I come from a big Irish Catholic family, so I have a lot of first cousins… but I have no brothers or sisters myself.  Especially now that I’m older, I really wish I did. So another part of photography that I really enjoy...
