Capturing pictures is easy. Capturing personalities, not so much.

Which is why one requires a good afternoon to make pictures that give you a small window into a family’s soul. An afternoon spent playing and singing and dancing and swinging. If you’re lucky, you will catch a glimpse of their world. A world where you need to sit still and watch and listen, or you’ll miss the bits that matter.

Thy smooth round cheek so soft and warm;
Thy pinky hand and dimpled arm…

I had the pleasure of meeting Paola and her family at the studio recently for a family shoot.

Aren’t these the most gorgeous pair of kiddos?

This rolly polly dolly makes me yearn to have another.

This job is dangerous 

I met Tim when he was three months old, a cute, cheruby little thing that was the apple of his family’s eye. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow into a precocious, happy little boy with the cutest little locks and a smile that can light up the whole room.

Can there be two more beautiful people? And they are making a baby!

A bride who got all sexy for her groom!

Got all sexy for her sailor beau.

Two beautiful girls - dad is in trouble! :)

I photographed the lovely Raquel and her boys two years ago and had such a fun time. So happy to do this for you again, Raquel.

Little O came into the studio with his best friend – a guitar! He has so many faces and so much character!
