We're wild about our new framing company!

For almost a year now, we've been offering frames from a great new company. They have designer colors, great choices of frames and trims, and the frames look amazing on lots of different portraits. Here is one of the most recent orders. I love how the blue in the trim matches what they're all wearing. It looks great up on the wall!

Busy Winter!

It's been a busy and exciting winter - lots of snow, lots of shoveling, and now I finally have some time to review my recent work.

Here is one of my favorite images from December:



These girls enjoyed giving their dolls a sleigh ride on this wintry day.

I smile every time I look at this image, remembering the fun they had and how they took such good care of their dollies.

Holiday time Family Portrait

Right before Christmas, this family gathered together for a portrait - everyone was there, including their beautiful dogs!

Thanksgiving Portrait

In late November, I had the privilege of photographing this wonderful family.

They had gathered for the Thanksgiving weekend and we were able to take many photographs of this lovely group. The groupings included kids, a grandchild, spouses, and parents!


















This woman loves her sweet little nephew (and the feeling is mutual...).













Actually, everyone loves him! His grandmother had fun playing with his little toes. I love how he's giggling and she's having such fun with him. What a great family.

Beautiful late autumn light in portrait garden

This family was scheduled for a studio sitting but, due to a last minute wish from one of the kids (and, fortunately, with beautiful weather and some lingering fall foliage), we decided to move outside for our late November session.

Before heading out, we took a few images of the older boys in the studio:











We were so lucky to have beautiful sparkling light and lots of evergreen plants in our garden. This is the youngest boy. I love how the light on the trees sparkles and matches the highlights in his hair!
