I have no title

I’m a girl that’s all about simple pleasures.  I sat down today to write this post and knew something was wrong.  I didn’t have my coffee next to me.  Now I’m not talking black coffee.  I may have said “simple” pleasures, but that doesn’t mean I’m not snobby in what I deem worthy of my [...]

Six months old and counting

It’s an honor to be invited to take pictures of people’s most special moments.  And although I love each shoot, there is something so dear to me about taking pictures of my own family.  My cousins are starting families, and we’ve got a bundle of little girls running around each holiday.  This is Sam, she’s the [...]

He was a sk8terboy

Skateboarding always makes me nervous.  Maybe I’ve seen too many guys eat cement, or maybe the thought of rushing to the ER makes me cringe.  Either way, I can’t deny that it’s cool.  The stuff those guys (and gals) can do is phenominal.  As long as they’re the ones doing it and not me, I [...]

Look out world, Beautiful Baby coming through!

I know I’ve said it before, but I absolutely love my shoots with babies!  They’re cute when they smile, they’re cute when they cry, they’re cute when they’re just sitting there!  This lil’ one was such a doll.  Any time her mom said her name, she got a huge grin on her face – you [...]

A day at Puget Sound

This weekend my dad was helping a friend build a railing for their deck, and he asked if we wanted to tag along.  I know, it sounds kinda weird but their friends live on the Puget Sound.  I mean, right on the Sound.  When the tide is in the sea water goes under their deck.  He [...]

Childish thoughts

I’m always in wonder, pondering the thoughts of a child.  The most simple things amaze them, like the feel of a dry leaf or a crumpled piece of paper.  Yet they often do not see the bigger, “grander” things that we adults see.  Is it better that way?  What if I looked at each day with [...]

A bonafied Paterson girl – and a few photography tips

Our friends kids call me “aunt” and I absolutely love it.  I had never been a real aunt though, until a couple of months ago and I must say, it is very good.  My brother/sister-in-law had their first child, the most beautiful Paterson of them all to date (I’m hoping mine will at least be [...]

Paris, ah Paris

Friends make life wonderful.  Friends that live on different contenants than you make life, uh, lonely.  After college all of my best friends ended up moving to Europe.  I’ve been blessed to be able to visit them a couple of times, the beginning of this year being one of them.  My amazing husband found a [...]

The beginning of the end

I’m old school.  Putting my thoughts up for anyone to read just feels, well, weird.  As long as I’ve put it off, I’ve realized it’s time to finally make the plunge.  You can only sit on the bench so long before you want to be put in.  So, here I am to say, “put me in coach!”.  [...]
