Three Wee Munchkins

These three siblings just adore each other, so much that they were even bribed with holding their baby brother!! That's sweet that doesn't make your tummy ache. Working with these three kiddos is always miles of fun! Loads of energy and charisma they dazzle my eye. These three are some of my favorite to photograph for their engaging and whimsical nature, but also because their parents truly see the depth each photo has and why it was chosen. The idea that photography can bring out our complex personalities as insight into ourselves. We so often just don't see ourselves or our kids, because we are simply so too close and involved to really see. It's a reassuring experience as an artist to work with clients who see so closely to what you do, it's a perfect match. Often times clients creative eyes have a different view on which images are the cream of the crop. It's a creative and very personal experience, choosing the photos that speak to you. It was such a fun session, and we finished off with nostalgic Christmas moment, not complete with out matching moose pj's. Quintessential!

Awe Marlowe

Sweet smiles, that swell up in your chest.. Every time I work with Marlowe I feel such a joy of life. It's surreal the change that babies make in their first year. Having photographed M at four days, three months, and six months has driven home the miracle and wonder of babies. Ever evolving and engaging in deeper ways, from innocence of birth, to laughter and meaningful engaging. Having these photos reminds us of all these fleeting stages. Thanks for sharing Marlowe so often. I can hardly wait to put together her first year of life in an artistic documentary series.

Red Dress On!

I love the whimsy of age four, innocence and confidence. Ruby, shined like the north star in her sparkly red dress, adorned with crown and magical wand! It was a joyful thing capturing her off in wonderland dancing away. Children have this incredible power to pull us right into the moment, candidly. It's powerful to witness three generations working and living in close community. It does take a village to raise a child, and this family really embraces that. The beauty in support, friendship, and respect was truly evident throughout our photo session. Becoming present and focused on each other is the greatest way to really get candid engaged photographs. Thanks to this extended family for being open and sharing their beautiful dynamic with me!
