High Schools all over have started their commencements – is that oxymoronic? Perhaps I should sign up for an English lesson or two from my crew of graduates? I’m not sure I’m smarter than a 12th grader 😉 I’m sure these guys flew through senior year with flying colors! You all are amazing – much …
I had an absolute BLAST when I went to Boston to shoot some “corporate” head shots for the 360 Public Relations firm. Recently named the boutique agency of the year by the Holmes Report they’ve got plenty to celebrate, including the 9 years before this one. Looking for some new staff photos they asked me …
Meet Chris & Ana. Ana is the type of person that you can’t help but just feel happy around. She’s effervescent and adorable. I dare you to meet her and not smile. Go ahead I double dog dare you. Chris obviously already lost that dare because he’s all smiles when she’s around. Chris is …
Last week, there was a great Offbeat Bride article by tribe member Linzmat sharing some helpful hints for the “less-than-photogenic” couple. She adresses the apprehension that can come along with the preconcieved notion of ‘having your picture taken’.

As they arrived, the honorees were presented with sweet …
Happy Friday everyone! I’m officially blogging this post within a month of the event happening – I have escaped the throws of delinquent bloggerhood. You may all place bets on how long that will last. 😉 Life has been strange and somewhat out of control at times but all with good results and April and …
These kids hold a very special place in my heart. Even if Ethan decides by the end of every shoot that he hates ‘that lady’. Caleb is a ham, straight up. I remember the first time I photographed him for his 2nd birthday and he didn’t really think cameras were all that fun – but …
What do you do when you’re given the opportunity to meet, and learn from, your photography idols? WHATEVER IT TAKES. So when I learned that bobbi+mike, a husband and wife team of fabulousness from Indianapolis, whom I have blogstalked since almost the beginning of my MKP adventures (I have a message to her in Sept …
I got this great email from Angie in January… “I actually stumbled upon your facebook page pretty much accidently via my friends Chris & Sara. I checked out your photos and fell in love with them!” Things that make it a great email? 1)people “accidentally” finding me on facebook (tag yourself!) 2) Chris & Sara …
The Heavenly Ball, now in it’s third year is such an amazing event. Hosted by the Annie’s Angels memorial fund the event raises money for families who’s lives have been affected by any number of scary, heart wrenching illnesses. Bill & Di and the rest of the folks who make it happen really truly know …
