10 Years: Meagan and Mark

My wedding portfolio was thin when Meagan and Mark decided to hire me 10 years ago. I decided to focus on weddings full time in 2008 and these two were among the first to hire me. A decade of anything makes one reflect, and as I do that I wanted to go visit Mark and […]

Declan and Levi

You’ve seen this beautiful family before here and here. Declan wasn’t even walking when I first spent an afternoon with the family, and now he’s a big brother. Levi is absolutely adorable and seeing the affection Declan has for the newest member of the family is the sweetest. I’m not sure Declan remembered me, but […]

Zoe and Lilly

Sometimes photographers and their families are less documented than their clients. Although Anelise is a talented photographer who actually does a great job of documenting her own family, there is one thing that is often absent from the pictures: Anelise. So it was particularly rewarding not only to get some pictures of her and Mike’s […]

Kindergartner

I’ve been doing this long enough that I’m watching babies grow up into students. When I first met Anna she was small. The next time she was a little bigger.

Babies

The last picture is of  Erika and Eddie who married in Novemeber. They are pregnant and anticipating the wonderful […]

Anna

It had been about a year and a half too long since I last saw Brenna, Steve, and their adorable daughter Anna. A lot can change in that time. Anna just turned 4 and instead of a home-made surfboard, this time the main prop was Steve’s new motorcycle. Brooke came with me on this one, […]

Isa and Damiano

I met up with Emanuele, Robyn, Isabella and Damiano as they got their day started. It was such a pleasure and honor to help preserve these small moments. Breakfast on a random day in December is the least documented life event but one that can make you the most nostalgic years later. Thanks for making […]
