Holidays (for me) tend to magnify the fact that our extended families live in other states. Its the time of year when I feel like Im watching everyone else gather around a gloriously sepia-tinted fac...
At Christmas time, our wreath was made of styrofoam holly berries. During the day, we thought ghosts were knocking on the door until we realized it was just birds trying to eat them. We all became ac...

I hate my photography website. When people ask about scheduling and Im forced to send the link, its all I can do not to send an apology. Something like, "I havent updated my site or brandin...
My friend Shelly came by the studio the other day. We took a few newslady-ish shots so she could update her photos at work. "Hello, Im approachable yet serious interviewer Shelly Miles. Tel...
Its misleading to call it the holiday "season" when really its about four weeks of blur between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Four weeks. I have a still broken shelf that fell off my closet wal...
The holidays are here, along with cooler weather which is welcomed relief after spending the summer on fire. I find myself too eager to pull out boots and wishing for more reasons to be outside. But ...
Once upon a time, for like 5 minutes, I had a corporate-y job working as a recruiter for a company that sold check guarantees. Half the building was sales people who spent the day cold-calling busine...
I just got back from the Mighty Summit. I think people usually get to go once. But a few days prior to the event this year Maggie asked if Id like to come again as the photographer. I think it t...
Ive been sitting here for five minutes debating how to write this. Its so easy to slap up a few pretty pictures, say happy birthday to me and call it a day. Its harder to talk about whats going on un...
Photo by Kelly Guenther/The New York Times/Redux, found via Photojojo Life put together a powerful collection of images taken by photographers who were there on 9/11. Its striking how, even amidst su...
We started the day with balloons, as its become tradition. He didnt want a party. He didnt even want us to bring the cake to the restaurant because he was afraid theyd sing to him. Instead of gifts, ...
We squeezed in one more beach trip before school started. These pictures make it look like all we did was eat. These pictures are probably pretty accurate. Karen made these from scratch. ...
Last week I went to San Diego for Blogher. I spent my time being overwhelmed by it last year, which translated into avoiding it altogether. Its probably not accurate to even say I was there, bec...

Once upon a time I went to Nashville to photograph one of the new fall styles. Alli had graciously agreed to be the next Epiphanie model. And in true form, I made things more complicated than they ne...
Before we decide to produce a new style or color, we receive lots of samples. Some are great. Some are abominations. You think Im kidding? Meet Exhibit A: Never Produced Camera Bag of Horrors.&...
Just realized I forgot to post this session. We shot this about a hundred years ago. My "studio" used to be my garage. Ryan and Jacqueline have been with me since then, since their first mate...
1. My camera Im not super technical, but Im pretty sure parts of your camera arent supposed to fall out when you change lenses. Someone might have been overzealous the other day when s...
Our good friends Cara and Anthony waited a long time, and walked a long road in order to meet their son. When that day finally came, I think their whole world was bursting with happiness around ...
I am not made for Texas. Or for the sun or heat, or basically anything that involves nature. But its been 5000 degrees, so we thought it would be fun to go sit in the river and do nothing with our fr...
Emily was going bananas over the ocean, and embodying everything I was feeling. The waves, the salt, the sand can be intoxicating, especially if its been a while since youve experienced it. Still her...
Maui and California turned me into a beach snob. So much that Id lived here eight years and had never graced Port Aransas with my Royal Hawaiian presence. Because Texas? Beaches? Please. Im als...
I found this quote by Charlotte Mason via Simple Mom. For a few years, Ive had it in the back of my mind that Id switch to home schooling when my children were old enough for middle school. Despite t...
This is one of my oldest, dearest friends. We grew up together. I love her and her family. A couple years ago when I was in San Francisco, I photographed her family of three. Then last year, after th...
I think this was our third or fourth session together. The first one was a belly shoot for their oldest. Sometimes its hard to believe how fast families grow. I love the Americana feel of this one. M...
Remember my friend DeAnna? Shes the Jewelry Whisperer. Her sister and brother in law recently had a baby. So I swung by to grab a few shots of them. I want to kidnap those biscuits. This ...
