There's nothing quite like photographing a new, little life.
(and, yes!, I do take photos indoors where it's cozy and warm.)

detour
I took a little detour on my way to NYC. Here's how it went ... I hopped on a plane in Minneapolis, flew into Newark, rented a car, drove an our through traffic to Spring Lake and ... made it there within 5 minutes of my shoot time!
So happy to see this family. Chi (the mom) has a calming nature and the kids were revved up and ready to run and laugh. It's not often that I get to shoot on the Jersey Shore (ok, well never) so I was in heaven. I'm in *love* with this session!
p.s. Check out my new logo ... designed by the cool, talented Jen Brower!

miss emma the dancer
I've had this vision for a while now, a dancer leaping through traffic. A couple weeks ago the stars aligned and Emma and her mom met me for this shoot.
It was a little hectic. Partly because I was scouting locations minutes before the shoot and also ... shooting in traffic isn't easy, you know. But Emma was tireless. Three locations and about twenty leaps later we got these photos.
She's impressive, isn't she?

rising star
Last week (or was it the week before?) I got a frantic call from Kim. Her son had just been cast in Billy Elliot, they were moving to NYC the NEXT DAY to start rehearsals and they needed a head shot TODAY! How could I turn that down?
I've got to say ... it's darn easy to shoot with actors and dancers. And Zach was great. These are just a couple of my favorites from his session.
Break a leg, Zach. Who knew a boy from Woodbury Dance could be a star in NYC? We're routing for you!

oliva & christmas lights
When I first photographed Olivia, she was just a little girl.
Fast forward ... she's graduating from high school this year! When I asked her what she wanted for her senior photos she said, "I love Christmas lights!" and I said, "Hmmmmmmm ..." Wouldn't you know, those shots are my absolute favorites. There are so many fantastic shots, but I could only choose a few to show here.
Olivia, you're gorgeous, sweet and so much fun!

so far behind ...
Yep. The busy season has been here for a while now and I'm really feeling it. I'm crazy busy ... shooting non-stop with a mountain of proofing to do and orders to place back at the office. So if you're waiting for your photos, please know that I'm going as fast as I can and I will have a team of people helping me soon.
In the meantime, take a look at Lila and Tucker playing and laughing on a perfect spring day.
