I was the lucky recipient of many thoughtful Christmas gifts this year. My favorite? Rarity the Unicorn – a My Little Pony the boys picked out for me. Did I ask for a My Little Pony? Nope. I haven’t thought about one for 20+ years. But when Dan asked the kids what they were going...

What to do?
So, say you’re a photographer. And you want to send out a fabulous holiday card picture of your three kids. You are a professional photographer so in theory you should be able to send out a fabulous holiday card picture of your three kids. Right?
But what if one of those three kids is 18 months...
I think I can . . .
I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.
The holiday portrait season is a bit like running the Boston Marathon. I made it up Heartbreak Hill already – that would have been November. Now I’m running down Beacon Street – at about mile 24. I’m tired. But I’m still running. Will I...
Little Spitfire
Meet my niece Elizabeth. Well, we call her Wizabeth, or Wiz. My family says she looks just like I did as a little girl (except I had light brown hair) so without a doubt I think she is the most beautiful little 2-year-old ever! We dragged her out in the cold November weather...
No. 10
Two years ago my family gathered in Utah to celebrate Thanksgiving together. At some point during that visit my married sisters and I sat around and giggled about funny baby names we could pair with our married last names. We decided that my older sister should have a Jared Herrod, we would have a Frederick...
Over the River
and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house we . . . went! We just returned from visiting my family in Utah. Our Thanksgiving trip was wonderful – two full weeks of mountains, snow, cousins, my favorite foods and my favorite people.
We took a red-eye home and landed in Boston just this morning. I’m so...
Michael Michael
Michael came home from school a few days ago with 7 incredible self-portraits painted over a two-day period. I fell in love with his artwork and couldn’t resist – I had to create my own portrait of Michael with all of his self-portraits. And I think these two pictures capture so much of what I...
Worms
I came home today from Calumet all hungry for some innocent victims to photograph with a lens I had just rented . . . and what did I find? My kids and their friends digging for worms in our leaf covered backyard! They were muddy and all twinkle-eyed and I was delighted. What a perfect...
Say What?
I was preparing an order last night and came across this image. These darling twins are almost 7 years old and their expressions made me laugh out loud. I had just asked them to hug each other and, well . . . I think this picture says it all.
Oh Boy!
Meet Calvin. This little guy was 4 days old when I photographed him. Isn’t he perfect? He makes me want another one (nope, sorry Reb, don’t even think about it) and also makes me remember why I love to photograph.
