One of our favorite places to vacation as a family is the beach. The boys can surf and enjoy the ocean. And I can lay by the pool. We have been to so many beautiful beaches. Our latest adventure was Guana Caste, Costa Rica. It was amazing and we were literally one of 20 families...
Studio or on location? A lot of my clients ask this. And it is a tricky decision. There are a lot of factors that go into it. Here is what I tell them: 1) What time of year is it? If it is 100+ degrees, I think studio is a fabulous idea. 2) Do you,...
I take way too many mommy and me photos. I admit it! Dads probably feel left out. But I know that in regular life, the moms take all of the photos and get left out. So when they book my sessions, I take a lot of them. I think that is only fair. I don’t...

Several clients have asked me how I select images to put on my walls. And it really is a hard process for a lot of people. Do you select landscape/travel images? Do you choose heirloom family B&Ws? Do you create a family wall? It really is personal preference and depends on the look of your...
High School seniors lately have so much more personality than I did when I graduated. I guess this is par for the course, but I say this every year. I thought I was the sh*t back then. And now I think back and I hadn’t done anything really. The seniors graduating now have most of...
I have to be honest, there are few things in life I get this excited about. I’m pretty boring. But if you know me pretty well, you know that cupcakes, newborn babies and travel are a few of those things. Lately, during Covid, travel has fallen off of that list. I have become a hermit...
