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.

another year older.

I’m sure I’ve said this before, but one of my absolute favorite favorite parts of this job is having the opportunity to re-connect with clients and watch their children grow. Whether I see them every three months or every year, it is always so amazing to see how their little ones...

things I could do all day.

1.) Sit at the Union having a drink and/or some ice cream
2.) Watch my littlest guy  having a ball rolling over and getting a huge grin on his face when he catches me looking at him
3.) Listen to my 3 year old “read” the Very Hungry Caterpillar (especially at the end when the caterpillar turns...

my guys.

T will be 3 years old in July. He is a feisty but sensitive little guy. He talks a lot. He loves to run outside and play with his dog. He also likes to snuggle (I’m savoring each and every one of these moments, as I’m sure we’re getting near the end of the frequent...

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...

party of five.

Time for photos from a more recent winter session. This one took place at their home and features not one, not two, but three gorgeous children (and a furry dog too!). All of them were lots of fun — I had a great time editing these photos. I love the fact that they gave...

a {furry} tribute.

It has taken me quite a while to get this blog post up. I actually shot this session last fall, in the midst of all the craziness. And now things are somewhat less crazy, but I wanted to make sure I had the time to do this post right. I was contacted by a father...

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...

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...
