A few shots from my recent adventures downtown with a fisheye lens. I can see how these could get addictive. I think they are pretty darn cool! I borrowed this one from a friend for these shots. Maybe Santa will bring me one of my own this year. There's some fun toys out there these days in photography land!

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner? Several clients have mentioned ordering prints for gifts this year. Of course I think this is a fabulous idea! :0) If you plan to order prints I will need to have the orders in by December 10th. Just want to be sure that your pictures arrive in plenty of time for Santa on the 24th.

Visions of Sugarplums

Ahhh....to be five weeks old. Don't you wonder what he's dreaming?

Website Update!

I've got some new stuff on my website these days. Take a look when you get a chance:

I Do

Mackenzie and Tim are married! This wedding was a first for me as I don't really do weddings. When people ask what kind of photography I do I usually say "anything but weddings." And I've never considered myself a wedding photographer. Sure, I've shot as a second shooter before at a few other weddings but I've never been in charge and never had to run the show. Well, Mackenzie and Tim talked me into it and I decided to give it a try. So glad I did! Will I do another wedding? Maybe. If I can find clients as laid back and fun as Mackenzie and Tim then I might be swayed. :0)

Same picture, different edit. I had fun playing around with these.And a few details that I thought were really neat...


Congratulations Mackenzie and Tim!

Lots of our friends are having babies these days so I was honored when my good friend Leslie asked me to photograph her little angel. He was almost three weeks old in these photos. Just about seven pounds I believe. It was hard for me to narrow down my favorites so I'm posting them all! Enjoy!

I never know if parents like shots like this next one but I've found that they are some of my favorites. I think Griffin had decided that the session was just about over. He's the one who's calling the shots these days, right?!?!

Oh wait...he wants me to stay. How quickly babies change their minds!

One last one that I really like. Griffin's nursury was super cute!

Last weekend I shot pictures for my super fantastic wedding photographer friend Dori. A million thanks to this girl who has helped me out so much with my photography business. She’s let me tag along on shoots, offered advice, loaned me equipment, put up with all my questions, and so much more. She’s awesome! Her mom wanted some shots for holiday cards so we headed out to the Botanical Gardens for these.

One of the best things about my photography gig is all the new friends I meet. This weekend I met a really neat family -- Misty, Mike, and ten month old Rory. Miss Rory was full of giggles and sweet smiles for me! Of course Misty and Mike did a great job at helping me get those giggles. Sometimes I think I should turn around and take pictures of the parents making all the silly faces. Now those would be some cute pictures! Here's a few of my favorites from the day...

I love how you can see her adorable little teeth in this next one...

After shooting at their home we took a walk to the cute little neighborhood park. Swings are the best for photo shoots! Rory seemed to think so too!
