  Time to get back in the swing of wedding season!  I am very excited for the coming year and the wonderful stories to tell in pictures.  To kick it all off I felt this blog was long overdue for a wedding post! I shot Kathryn and Mike’s wedding last November but never got around [...]

Seth and Ellen called me to ask about maternity and newborn pictures without even seeing any portraits on our website. When they were in the studio for our planning session they said all the right things. They wanted something different, something memorable, something to help them always remember they way they felt the day that [...]

  Katie and Alex and I go way back.   Well at least it feels like we do.  From our time spent in New York for their engagement session, to our dinner that night over meatballs, to their wedding a few weeks ago, I have had the chance to really know these two.  They are remarkable [...]
