Tuesday is the slowest eater E.V.E.R. We spend hours at this table. So of course I sit her in the spot with the best light and get out my camera to fiddle around with it while she finishes up. Breakfast = “bbbbbeeee” cereal (signed, she can’t say that word yet). bbbbbeeee = cold cereal. Usually …

Time to rest
After being here and there all week last week I’m spending today with my girl. Last week I accompanied my mom to a trade show in Las Vegas. So much pretty ribbon was ordered, a few shows taken in, and lots of yummy food ate. It was only two nights but it seemed like I …
The Basement – the other side
The “other side” of my basement is really my work side. I don’t shoot down here but this is where I meet with clients and show them their images (with a fancy new projector). I love the space! This was that same view before: Besides the couch the biggest change is the skirt around my …
The basement: the play side
Ok, I still have a project for the back wall, but I want to share this side of the basement as it stands now: And here is the before: (from a little further back). If only you could see the sweat and tears in those flor tiles, they look exactly the same! Because I am …

Newborn – baby M
This sweet little baby and his family were so fun to photograph. It was my first time using the poof, and a few other tools so Kristen was kind enough to come as my assistant. Mom found me via Google and since baby was already a week old when she called we didn’t have a …
It was a dark and stormy night…
And I went out in it to photograph! Craziness, but it was my last lighting class in Portland and I didn’t want to miss it. Besides I had Kristen to keep me company. I forgot my tripod in the car, so until I bummed Kristen’s I was balancing my camera on anything I could find. …
The birth of Peter Martin
So you’ve already seen the sweet result of this labor and delivery, but I wanted to share with you the slideshow I presented to mom and dad last week of their son’s birth. Tracy is a dear friend and I asked her if I could shoot her delivery. She and her husband agreed and we …
Classic Newborn
Yesterday was my dear friend Tracy’s birthday. To celebrate she asked that it be the day she viewed slideshows. I recently (2 weeks ago) shot the birth of her son, Peter. What an amazing experience. I was honored that she let me be there, and that she wanted the slideshow to be her special birthday …
The Poof
That’s what Tuesday is calling beanbags these days, poofs. I decided to make a giant poof for my sweetest littlest clients: the newborns. Originally I thought the big FatBoy bean bag we got would work, but it’s just too floppy and not filled enough. Plus Tuesday adopted that for her room. I looked into buying …
