Three children, four grown children, two grown children’s spouses, two parents/grandparents, and one great-grandfather, plus two corgis. It sounds like a big, unruly group. But as I told the Hensons (a family that is oh-so-special to us: Amanda was my maid of honor) over and over, they were quite possibly the easiest-to-photograph family ever. Because […]

It never fails: During the latter half of fall and all of the Christmas season, I want crisp weather. Wool coats. Mulled cider. Cornflower skies. Cozy scarves. Pies, warm and fresh from the oven. Then January 2 rolls around, the holidays come screeching to a halt, and I’m ready to move on. To springtime. Sundresses. […]

They don’t take themselves too seriously, but they knew their relationship was serious right from the start. I grew up with Frank’s two sisters, so I’ve known him since his elementary school days, but it was Danny who knew about Kaci first. He vividly remembers the night several years ago when Frank nervously told the […]

We got home from New Orleans last night and settled in for a great night’s sleep in our own bed. And in just three hours, I’m leaving town again — this time to chaperon a weekend retreat in Ocala, with 200 middle school students and a head full of new ideas for my business that I learned […]

I’d been shooting my D700 for several months before I learned how to switch it from Manual mode to one of the presets. Should I feel sheepish over that? I’m feeling a little sheepish over that. But the only reason I didn’t know how to do it because 1.) D700s, unlike many DSLRs, don’t have the […]

They’re the kind of couple who don’t have to convince you they’re in love. The kind that whispers jokes in each other’s ears. The kind that speaks their own shared language, that walks side by side with their hands tucked in each other’s back pockets. The kind that makes me so glad I’m lucky enough […]
