I’m not someone who tends to handle change very well.  I’m a creature of habit.  Driven by routine. For me, nothing is more comforting than the familiar…the understood…the happy place between what I know and what I want to do. Kirsten and Chris are the photographic equivalent of going home.  They are the comforting faces […]

The week after we brought Hudson home from the hospital…it basically looked like a tornado had ripped through our home!  Diapers were strewn everywhere…presents, clothes and mail were piled in corners…and paper!  There was so much paper…everywhere.  Post-it notes recording eating schedules and Tylenol consumption…sheets of information from the hospital…to-do lists from here until the […]

I remember the very first time someone called me a photographer… It was about four years ago and my sister-in-law was introducing me to a friend of hers.  I reached out to shake her hand just as she said “Please meet my sister-in-law, Gen…she’s a photographer!”  And just like that, I paused to figure out […]
