More from the starfish project! This was a very special session for me; this big, warm, Italian extended family is very tight-knit. Mario is the youngest of the four generations pictured here. Many thanks to great-grandmother Mary, grandmother Dorotea, and new mom Maria for the great session, and to the dads too! It was wonderful […]

Independent, on the go, fearless, and fun - three years old is such a great age. It’s probably one of the most challenging ages for me to photograph, and I’ve had it too easy lately so I was so glad that Sydney and her family could join me for a beach session tonight. This is […]

Double the pleasure! Please join me in welcoming babies Connor and Tanner to the world. Congratulations to Liz and Ken and big brother Warren - we love you guys and look forward to getting into all sorts of trouble with your newest boys.

Please join me in raising a […]

Partners in adventure, intrepid explorers, brothers - meet Ryder and Kai. And another family to add to my collection of nicest families in the world. What melted my heart during today’s session… Ryder singing to his little brother, and baby Kai answering him in his lullaby singsong voice. It was not only perfectly adorable, but […]
