My Kid

Mother And Son Dance

August 29, 2010

As a wedding photographer, I am invited to share some extraordinarily emotional and intimate moments with my clients.

My Toddler This Week

August 23, 2010

Every week since I found out I was pregnant, I have received an email from BabyCenter updating me on the progress of my little guy.

Hold On To These Moments As They Pass

June 30, 2010

Just when I think I am about to cross the threshold of frustration with my little cruiser, he flashes the most adorable, perfect, sweet grin my way and for at least one brief moment everything but pure love melts away.
