I had the opportunity to work with this amazing swimmer and make some portraits of her right before she left for college. I’ve watched her swim a few times and she is F.A.S.T. easily beating everyone in the pool (including some pretty burly looking dudes) by a couple body lengths. I wanted to capture both her toughness […]

Summer Sunset Love
Doesn’t everyone love a silhouette? When you can just let go of the distraction of fine details and allow body language and the story of the subjects to shine through. And the emotion and connection in this image hits my heart with a sledgehammer.
Summer Portraits in Illinois
The first sneak peak from this summer’s Champaign, Illinois sessions. One of the best things about summer is going back to Champaign for an extended visit. The kids have a blast playing with their grandparents, cousins and friends and running around doing tons of activities. I too get to spend quality time with family and […]
Sweet Color – South Congress Sisters Portrait Session

Song of Summer [Modern Family Photographer]
It’s finally feeling like winter here in Texas. And this gray overcast day is the perfect opportunity to delve into the archives and showcase a favorite session that never got blogged. This session was one of those golden evenings when the light was gorgeous, the kids were happy and playful and practically every shot was […]
I’m watching you. [ Newborn Lifestyle Photography ]
What a sweet little guy and so alert too. It wasn’t until the end of the session that he finally decided we were boring and went to sleep. The first photo is actually at the end of the session. Score for us! I love all open-eyed photos and he had such great expressions. I heard […]
