Morgan Stanley states that raising a child to the age of 18 is projected to cost $245k. That’s $12,980 a year. Holy cow! I need to start cutting coupons to survive the last 6 years with this kid. That is like a nice house! What do you guys think about this #? Is it too...
After doing this job for so many years, there are several things that I am obsessed with when it comes to newborns. One is the noises they make, since they’re so fleeting. And two, their tiny little everything. It always amazes me that they can be so tiny one day and then a month later...
Are you an extrovert or an introvert? I would prefer to sit in my little office all day long alone, but that isn’t great for business. So over the years I have learned how to be extroverted when I need to be. But man, it wears me out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My son told me the other...
Some say your life is what you make it. So what is the sunshine of your day? Today. Right now? Yep, this very second. You may not be having the best day, but I bet there is something that makes it a good day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have 4 boys in my house that are pure...
“A day without a nap for a baby is like a cupcake without frosting.” And you know how much I love cupcakes. And naps actually. So put them together and this is probably why I love babies. They are masters at napping!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Was your newborn a great napper? Caden was, and he still can sleep...

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...
When I was little, I had an obsession with the ocean. Probably because we would go to Hawaii for Christmas every 4 or 5 years. So it was my happy place. My parents let me adopt a humpback whale and after that, everything was aquariums, Hawaii posters and save the whales. So when I walked...
I rarely get to do studio maternity session with couples. So when this opportunity came along, I jumped on it. It allowed me to be creative and learn a bit at the same time. My friend has an amazing studio with a fabulous studio light setup (which I never get to use.) So he gave...
A lot of newborn sessions are done from 7-14 days old. That is the ideal time. But if you happen to miss the prime time, don’t fear! A seasoned newborn photographer can handle any age. You really just need to talk about the expectations. The older babies will not be able to do some of...
