One thing I know for sure…..I absolutely love what I do!
I love that a good photograph can tell a story without a spoken word, sometimes just a fleeting moment that can leave the beholder breathless. I love that it’s the little moments that make life BIG and that BIG moments create a need for a job like mine….capturing the “little moments” that result in timeless treasures.

I can’t believe Gunnar’s already one year old! We’ve done pictures in his little chair at every session this past year – such a cutie!
We even managed to get a very quick shot of him standing on his own.
He loved the balloons!
But I think he loved the cake even more!
Happy 1st Birthday Gunnar!
David & Diane’s FamilySeptember 9th, 2010What an awesome place David & Diane have for a photo shoot! Add beautiful weather and a fun family and how could you not get great shots! Here are some of my favorites of their family.
Getting the dogs to all sit and look at the camera was really not as easy as it looks – great job guys!
I love this one!
And now for the boys favorite part – first we had to practice jumping on the count of 3.
And here goes the real thing!
I was very impressed Diane was able to not get her hair wet, and I think Trevor & Tyler would have let me take pictures of them jumping in the pool all day! Thanks for a great time guys! |

My GrandkidsSeptember 7th, 2010It’s not often I get all eleven of my grandchildren together at one time, but when I do it’s crazy & awesome! Sometimes during a photo shoot people worry that their children aren’t behaving as well as they want them to, but it really doesn’t bother me. I don’t expect them to sit quietly and pose perfectly – that just wouldn’t be a normal day! Anyway, the best shots are when they’re being themselves. Here’s a few outtakes from how perfectly things went at the photo shoot with my eleven grandchildren. The first step is to gather everyone into one general location
The next step is to keep the baby from crying and get everyone to look at the camera instead of Fen trying to run away.
It’s usually best if they don’t eat the mulch
Now, if we can just get one shot without goofy faces or cheesy smiles
No matter what, jumping and hanging out with your cousins is always a great time!
And, here are my favorite shots of the day
And number one – all eleven in one shot – priceless!

StoryboardsAugust 31st, 2010
I just finished a few new storyboards. These make great canvas wraps or metal prints that are ready to hang without searching for the perfect frame. You can see more samples on my website under portfolios/artwork & creative.

Shaylea & KendallMay 7th, 2010A beautiful day, a couple of cute little dancers, and a trip to the zoo – it doesn’t get any better! A little tip for anyone planning a weekend trip to the zoo – do not take the Hampton exit! It took me almost an hour from the exit off 40 until I was able to park. But, it was all worth it – thanks girls!

St. Louis Camera Club WinnerApril 28th, 2010I am very excited and honored that the St. Louis Camera Club has chosen one of my images as one of 30 to represent the St. Louis Camera Club in a display at a “Sister Cities” 50th Anniversary promotion in Stuttgart, Germany. The image will be printed and framed for display. I titled the image “concentration” because of the intense looks on their faces (along with the tongues). These boys are such cuties!
