  Lovely Little Freja,   It is hard to believe that a year with you has already flown by. I cannot believe that little peanut with a mass of dark hair is now a little lady who can crawl and dang near stand up.   I have known your parents for a long, long time, […]

When I met sweet baby Gordon, he was all of two weeks old, but goodness had he developed a little personality in that short amount of time.   However, knowing his fantastic family, I am not surprised. Not in the least.   I photographed Momma Kate and Daddy Rob’s wedding last May, so it was […]

Multiple things were learned prior to Ivy’s smash cake session: Cub Foods has little five-inch cakes that travel very well. Time goes way, way too fast. When all else fails, 3D print it. It was the cutest little cake, with the softest pink frosting with a one-of-a-kind plastic gold cake topper (which was not cut […]

In Norse mythology, the goddess Freja is one tough chick.  As the goddess of fertility and beauty, she’s got a lot on her mythological plate. She is accompanied by her pet boar, Hildisvini, who is actually her protégé Ottar in search of his ancestry.   In Dan and Elizabeth’s living room, Freja is accompanied by […]

 At nine months old, Ivy has clearly become a little woman-in-the-making. In my last meeting with her, I learned she has a morning make-up routine with Momma, loves her neon green ball, and takes a couple moments to wake up, and then she is all smiles.   I dig you, littlest girlfriend, especially on the […]

 Cheers to 2017!   2016 was my first full year in the photography business. And people, was it a year it was! All because of you.   As some of you know, this wasn’t my first foray into business; for several years I had operated a moderately successful handcrafting business. However exciting that adventure was, […]

  As I write this, Baby Elsie is just over two months old. She might be starting to hold on to toys handed; perhaps she is developing her own sleep schedule and is probably starting enjoy the sound of soothing voices. She, along with her dad David and mom Valeria have no doubt snuggled themselves […]

“Oh, she loves the outdoors!”   This was absolute music to my ears when I suggested that Ivy, the pretty little lady I’ve met one time before, spend her three-month session outside. As I’ve said a couple of times, it’s been kind of a mucky, yucky, rainy summer up north; I had hopes for some […]

Kids, they grow up too fast. Am I right, or am I right?   My best friend/basically sister Dawn could probably speak to this much better than I can; she’s the one with kids. With that said, however, her girls are my nieces, and I cannot get over how big they are. It as clichéd […]

It’s been a week since I met little Freja, and I just cannot get over her hair.   Dan and Elizabeth’s sweet little lovely lady has just this amazing mass of dark, dark hair that, according to the parents, was styled into a Mohawk the day she was born and has remained that was since. […]
