Cousins on the playground

I met this lovely set of cousins at a playground one bright afternoon for their first set of family photographs together! These two families had just moved close to one another; it's always special to be able to chronicle families growing up alongside each other.

Two Sisters with Fabulous Shoes

You wouldn't believe from the photos how incredibly windy it was, or that after it clouded over and dumped rain on us, the sun came out not 30 minutes later while we were making our way home (anticipating a huge thunderstorm, of course).

Welcome to the world, little one!

A recent newborn session yielded some super-cute photos that I couldn't help but set to music.

Sisters: Stella & Mary, all smiles

Siblings can make you laugh. They can be friends, confidants, and more. I wish I had a sister so I could share the same kind of relationship that Stella and Mary have with each other. They're so obviously at ease and full of grace.

Zenaida & Aiden: Cute Kids in the Grass

After a little warming up, we moved to a nearby field to play in the shade. Aiden took to exploring all over while devouring an apple.

Dog Days: The End of Summer

Summer has come to a close. I'm remembering all of the fun moments we've had with our friends and family, especially given our most recent news: we've moved to Boston so Steve can attend seminary on full scholarship! We will...

New Father: And then there were two

I am very happy to announce that my life as a pregnant photographer has come to a close. Lucas arrived on August 27th, and his father couldn't be more proud. Big sister Ruth is thrilled too; she and Lucas are...

Family Matters & Changes Ahead

It's been awhile since I posted some of my favorite photos of my daughter, Ruth. Cliche alert: she's growing up so fast. These two photos capture my favorite things about her: the way she is completely in love with her...

Little Jacob and His Parents

Last month little Jacob and his parents and I got together for some informal family shots in their home and at a nearby playground. This young five-month-old was all smiles and contentedness; you could feel all the doting and love...

The Limoges Family: Oscar the Wonder Dog

The other evening, I was joined by Jenny and Cliff and their new addition to the family: Oscar. Oscar is a rescue dog; Jenny had been wanting a dog "for twenty-six years!" and finally was able to get one. With...

Three Sisters: Cara, Abby, & Megan

When the weather warmed up after a long week of rain, three little sisters, their mother, and I, made our way to Centennial Park. The sun was hitting the trees in the afternoon, and the air couldn't have been more...

Familiar Faces at Christmas

I am so fortunate to have family that is willing to visit me on a regular basis. Our parents get along well with each other, and my brothers treat Stephen as a long-lost sibling. We partook in eggnog... ...delicious stuffing,...

The Kesslers Play Outside

On a Sunday afternoon, the Kesslers had me over for a little while to photograph some of their family moments. Their three little girls were simply beautiful. The youngest, only a babe, cooed and laughed at her older siblings before...

Gabby & Maya: Kid Sisters

This is the story of Gabby and Maya, two adorable kid sisters. Their mom, Jamie, invited me over for a spell one afternoon. Instead of traditional payment, we agreed to barter: I photographed her daughters in exchange for a huge...

My Photography Circa Age 12

I've slowly but surely been wading through the scads of family photographs piled up on the shelves in our apartment. You'd think that being a photographer would mean that your own life has been cataloged quite nicely. Not so, of...

Newborn Aiden

Little Zenaida got a baby brother recently. His name is Aiden. She and mom are adjusting well to their new roles and new demands. Aiden is a beautiful pudgy boy, with his own very distinctive grunt, his hands in perpetual...

Happy Families

I love photographing children. They keep you on your toes by having another agenda. And sometimes capturing people at just the right moment... ...can be the most fun thing in the world....
