It’s funny how I go through phases.   Like the last 8 years I spent on the mats at Gracie Barra learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (still completely obsessed and train every chance I get).  Before that it was tournament softball… and before that it was snowboarding… about 50 times a year.  Lately, I’ve been into […]

Such a great article about my very special friends and clients Jock & Erin!!  Read the whole thing here.   “A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other… maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.” – […]

Then, finish the evening off with great eats, […]

I love photographing babies.  Especially when they cooperate and stay asleep :)  This is one of my favorite shots of Archer, Jessica Claire & Jeff Norwood’s newest addition to the family.  I just love the symmetry, the smooth tones, and the mixture of the cold, hard chair with Archer’s warm, soft skin and blanket.
