Dance

I had the pleasure of photographing over 30 dancers, ages 6-18 that are part of a dance performing company.  Along with their normal dance classes and 2 big dance shows a year, these girls perform several times throughout the year.  The directors of the studio wanted to take the girls outside and have some fun, […]

Jake

Jake is part soldier, part pilot, part ninja, an epic Nerf gun battler, a little serious, sometimes goofy, and extremely photogenic – especially when he was hanging with his dog and dad.  I brought along my own 5 year old assistant. He decided that he would tell Jake some jokes – his smile and laughter […]

Tenley

I have known Miss Tenley since she was about 5 months old. I watched her learn how to walk and talk and saw how her personality developed.  She is beyond adorable and most certainly her own person.  Tenley’s mom has expertly transformed pieces of old furniture into “new” items. She brought along a vanity she […]

On Being 5…part 2

This is part 2 in a series of what it means to be 5. 5 is playing on a team for the first time…first uniform, first time learning all of the rules, first time having teammates, first time having a coach…so many life lessons being taught in a simple way.  The photos make it look […]

Five Year Old and a Photo Shoot

It was a hot, humid, and muggy May morning…a rare day of warmth and a rare day at home without any immediate plans for the day.    Last month, for Cole’s birthday, I bought him his 5 year old photo shoot outfit. Cole absolutely loves to dress up and look fancy. He wanted to add […]

On Being 5

I would love to capture the purity that is 5, the believing that you are the fastest, strongest, best person in the world – the one that can defeat all the bad guys and spend the day exploring and learning about the world. The happiness that comes from swinging and digging and drawing. We could learn […]

A compilation

A few months ago, this blog had a problem with the server and lost all of the photos associated with it. Eventually, i would like to repost all of the photos, but it may take awhile. This is the first compilation in which I will add multiple photos from the past photo shoots over the […]

The K Family

A few months ago, I received an email from a girl I knew when I was 14. Memories came flooding back immediately… memories from junior high, the last time I saw her. She inquired about photographing her family, herself and her husband along with 3 year old twins and a 6 year old. We decided […]

Families Reuniting!

Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing 6 cousins, ranging in ages 1 to 8, and their families – 14 people in all.  We went to an empty field filled with wild yellow flowers…and off they went! We had a lot of fun, took some photos posed or as posed as we could be […]

What is 4?

4 is being more independent. 4 is becoming a superhero when the mask comes on. 4 is loving playing with friends. 4 is preschool. 4 is wearing your heart on your sleeve. 4 is understanding more about the world around you. 4 is being excited whenever you see a fire truck or police car. 4 […]
