“Babies are like little suns that, in a magical way, bring warmth, happiness and light into our lives. – By Kartini Diapari-Oengider” Oh, baby Lydia! What a treat to meet this little one. She was three weeks old during our session and determined not to miss a moment. Can you believe those gorgeous eyes? What […]

What a stunningly beautiful day! I recently had the pleasure of capturing some family portraits for my sweet friend, Niki and Chivas, before their Wisconsin wedding reception. They married this summer, near their home in Indiana. But, because they have family both there and here, they celebrated with love and family in both places! A […]

This sweet baby will be here so soon! And Ray is going to be such an incredible big brother. I had the pleasure of meeting fellow photographer, Aliza, and her adorable family, Joel and Ray in the arboretum just before the magnolia blossoms finished for the season. I love maternity sessions so much, especially with […]

This little bridge near the bike path is one of my favorite little hidden gems of the east side. There are often little ducks and boats, the architecture is pretty, you can sometimes hear people playing music, and it’s so close to the bike path and Willy St. It’s such a snapshot of this side […]

These sweet kiddos have had such a warm, family filled spring! This time with a visit from their grandparents on their mama’s side. I got to photograph Kira, JoAnn, Dave and her sweet littles in the magnolias when they were at their beautiful peak bloom. We had a tea party with Mimi and Papa and […]

Toddlers are my favorite people! They are such beautiful, spirited, fun little humans. I just adore how you get such a good sense of their personality and who they are as people. I got to meet sweet little Ruthie and her mama at the park and beach, just before the spring rain and things started […]

With all of this late spring snow and cold hanging around, it’s nice to think about summer. This is another one of my summer favorites! These mamas came with literally a trunk full of goodness. Fun stuff for their littles, outfits, snacks, and their sweet dog. I love when I’m at a session and even […]

Generational photos are such a window into families, especially families you’ve grown to know and love well. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know the Rama family, first through our children’s friendship at Woodland Montessori school, and now through our own friendship. I’ve had the absolute honor of photographing Kira’s business, their family as […]

This summer, I had the pleasure of taking headshots with the lovely staff at the UW Financial Aid Department. Grown-up photos are always a fun shift, because I definitely don’t have to make the silliest faces or play hide and seek but I still get to be ridiculous and have fun with some great people. […]

My photography page has been a bit quiet this month as my family and I have been traveling. I have always loved travel. Long before kiddos, my partner and I travelled together. Our honeymoon involved quite a bit of couch surfing and sleeping on the floor of a cave with some other (very awesome!) travelers. […]
