A new life has joined us - please welcome baby Aiden to the world. When a couple’s first baby arrives, everything just… shifts. The rest of the world falls away as this new soul becomes the center of their family and their hearts. It is lovely to witness this love unfolding, as two become three […]

The beauty of having two children close in age is just that - the closeness. While they each grow and develop at their own pace, they also will have each other to lean on, to share life with, to understand, to empathize. At age 2.5 years and 10 months, Keanu and Kamani will be attuned […]

A baby boy with two older sisters… can you just imagine the fun they all have in store in the coming years? Please welcome baby Owen to the world! At just 10 weeks old he has the physical strength of a baby twice his age, with a very endearing, mellow personality. Big sisters Lila (7) […]

Here they are… such a close race that we have a tie! Congratulations to both Lyla and Adrianna and their families. Thanks to everyone who voted and for the wonderful feedback!

There are some homes that when you enter you immediately feel at ease. Call it a warmth, a sense of inclusion, a rippling outward of love. Garry and Suzy’s home feels like love to me, and spending time there with them and their irresistible kids is always a pleasure. The openness and caring they have […]

It’s such a joy to see nature at its finest. What mystery causes a fertilized egg in its early days to split into two? Twins are a very big surprise; identical twins even more so, I think. This first year in particular will be such an adventure, as these two start to show the world […]

Such a treat! I last photographed Sascha when she was just eleven months old. Here she is again, now a big sister! Baby Paityn looks so much like Sascha did at her age; I think parents Kimber and Eric are going to have to keep these two beauties locked up before too long! They had […]

I am delighted, over and over, when I meet new baby humans who, even though just a few weeks old, already shine. Adrianna has oodles of personality at eight weeks old, and her family reports that she has been just so since birth. I like to think about what she will be like as an […]

I love it when I get the call - that a new baby has made her debut! Siena Jade is a love. Look how cuddly she is:

I had not seen big sister Vivian since her newborn portraits were done two years ago - so this was a double pleasure, as I got to spend time […]

I am gobsmacked. I just got through with a British chick lit read, so that term seems to fit tonight. Wolfie is one year old! Where did the past year fly off to? How did this happen? What magic stitch in time occurs when you have a baby, and turn around in the blink of […]

Come along on a journey through time, and watch Nico grow before your eyes! It certainly feels like it was overnight that Nico grew from baby to yearling to toddler and onwards to preschooler:

Photographing babies as they […]

I am very excited to announce that my images were accepted for publication in At Mother’s Breast, a beautiful website dedicated to illustrating breastfeeding. Photographer Katrina Anderson founded the project. In her words:
“Breastfeeding is beautiful, natural, and normal. That is what I set out to capture on this photographic journey. I want to […]

WARNING: Highly personal, graphic birth story and photos ahead. There’s a point to this. But if you’re here to look at beautiful portraits, best scroll down to where that kicks in again.

You’ll notice a few things about this blog. It’s a place for me to show my recent work. I will occasionally post personal […]

Here she is, walking, running, climbing, exploring. Isabelle is now one year old. She has no trouble at all keeping up with her big sister Natalie. And big sister is appreciating more every day, I think, how fun it is to have Isabelle in the family. We had a lovely morning romping around the gardens […]

Actually, Wolfie is six and a half months, and big brother Andrew is almost six and a half years old. I will not lie. Raising an infant is hard. Some days it’s REALLY hard. Sleep deprivation is a way of life, which is why my professional portrait commissions are far fewer these last few months. […]

Here they are…

I think my first portraits of each new year should always include newborn babies; a fresh start in so many ways! Here is baby Ashley at two weeks old; you can see her “on the inside” portraits here. Big sister Nicole is just in love, enchanted, enthralled with her new baby sister. At age four […]

I always wonder when a newborn becomes “just” an infant? Is there an official age, or a developmental milestone? Or is just when you get tired of calculating how many weeks old s/he is? Whatever that magical formula is, Wolfie is leaving his newborn stage behind for sure. He’s teething (yes - already), just getting […]
