From a shoot with my friend Jami last Saturday.  We seriously had so much fun. I love getting out to shoot just because. For the most part, I’d rather take pictures than be in them, but somehow Jami coaxed all three of us preggo girls on the couch. :S Can’t wait to see how that […]

    GORGEOUS! Absolutely LOVE that couch. 🙂 I love your photos. So crisp, clear, and amazing color. Great job!

I usually pick out my children’s lovey’s. I probably love them more than they do. Like when Andrew’s elephant went missing for 2 weeks I scoured the internet to find a replacement (it was retired) only to have the lovey found 1 week after it arrived. It didn’t matter that Andrew wasn’t too concerned. I missed […]

    Very cute! Great choice on the stuffed animal. I need to find some really cute stuffed animals for my future children. Thanks for the inspiration.

A few Sundays back we actually had decent weather, so we decided to take a walk in the park. The kids LOVED throwing rocks (and sticks, and leaves) into this lake, and I couldn’t resist taking my camera to get a few photos of the kids. This is one of my favorites. As a side […]

    Really nice shot, such a great childhood moment.

From a photog meet-up the other week. It was windy & cold and this brave girl stuck it out. Love her. Lit by a bare strobe to camera left (because the wind kept trying to carry away the softbox). Not my usual style, but that’s the whole point right? We get together to stretch ourselves.

    Very nice Jess. Love the color work and texture. The light on her face is great.

I have a few things in the works (stay tuned for an announcement on Monday!) so I took my daughter out to play with some new toys the other day. Here’s just one from the shoot. I’ll post more as I edit them:

    Cool! I’ve been wanting to pick up one of those old fashioned cameras. They are so fun!! Can’t wait to see what you’re up to!

  • Lindsey Hale - March 25, 2010 - 11:28 pm

    Love this!!!

    Haha! Love it, Jess! Can’t wait to see more from the shoot!

I’ve upgraded my wedding albums recently, and decide it was about time to take some pictures. I seriously LOVE these. The leather covers are beautiful, and the company has many beautiful options to fit your individual style. Plus, you just can’t beat the quality. The pages go right across the gutter creating a seamless 10×20 […]

As the weather is turning more beautiful & spring-like (please can it stay that way!?) I know that you and your kids are getting outside to enjoy it. Along with the nice weather comes fun activities and of course, your camera! So, what’s the best way to document these activities? How can you get better […]

    They are darling little blondies! Fun tips! It’s so nice out, I’m getting the itch to get out and go shooting!

I can’t say enough good things about this workshop. It was amazing. Professional, technical, creative, inspiring, and down right fun. I seriously had a blast. Nichole has a background in education as well as technical writing, so the combination of her 3 day instruction plus her workbook is killer. And, she & her husband, Dave, […]
