True confession: I’ve been hooked on the TV show “This Is Us” since day 1. One of the things I find most beautiful about it is the way it highlights the key role that timing plays in all our lives. We never know what’s coming up for us. It’s only in the turning around that […]
Little Miss Maisey came into the world simultaneously later and way faster than any of us ever thought she would. Given that the sweet little thing was to be born in the summer, it was right at the start of my wedding season. I had one wedding on the day she was due and one […]
— There’s this part in one my favorite Christmas movies, The Family Stone, where Sarah Jessica Parker’s character unearths a photo of Diane Keaton’s character, joyfully pregnant with one hand to her face and the other resting on her belly.

— Anna and Joe love this city just about as much as I do. It was so special to see how they wanted to make it this living breathing part of their day. They’d get ready overlooking it, see each other for the first time on the corner of it, and say their vows hemmed […]
— I was coasting down the hill on my way to Lowes when I first spoke to Jen on the phone. As we talked, she described how even though this session would technically be a “maternity” session, she really just wanted photos of her and Drew in their cabin with their dog. Photos where she […]
