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.

This was a very special wedding for me. Not only because every part of it, from the venue to the ceremony music to the extraordinary details at the reception, was just so incredibly creative. But also because I was there from the beginning… or at least from the beginning of their engagement. Way back in...

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...

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,...

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...

Heather & Potter.

I have been looking forward to writing this post for months, since cold February when I shot their engagement photos in the snow. And now, it is with great pleasure that I bring you the photos from last Saturday evening… the wedding of Heather & Potter.  Heather works down the hall from me, and over...

Megan & Jeremy.

August is a month full of weddings for me. The second this month took place on a gorgeous late summer day. It could not have been more perfect — dramatic, cloudy sky. A slight breeze. Lots of fun shooting locations… and a beautiful couple. Congratulations, you two! And again, be sure to check out...

sometimes i feel like dancing…

I just finished up editing a wedding from earlier this summer, and I had such a fun time going through their reception photographs. Lots of times with weddings I will convert most of the reception/dancing photos to black and white. Something about black and white seems to suit these kinds of images. Maybe because the...

Congratulations Katie & Kyle!

This was my second wedding in June, and also my second wedding that month with a bride named Katie. We were a little worried all day that the clouds would turn into rain, but thankfully the weather cooperated all throughout our photos.  It was a pleasure to spend the day with Katie & Kyle. Their...

So without further ado, I bring you (with no commentary to interrupt the story…) the wedding day of Mike and Katie. Enjoy! (and be forewarned… there are a...

congratulations to katie and mike!

I had to share this tiny little sneak peek from a gorgeous wedding that I photographed this past weekend. This couple was so obviously completely in love… the groom actually teased me for tearing up a bit during their speeches. I am a sap — I fully admit it.  Look for more photos from the...
