The Harrison’s
Making a decision to have a child–it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
The Storchs in Berthoud
It’s such and honor when another photographer asks me to be their photographer. It’s flattering, and it’s liberating. It’s flattering because we photographers are picky, and we all know a ton of other photographers-it’s a large community. It’s liberating because I know that they know what to expect. I know that they know how realistic it is to get 100 perfect images of everybody smiling and looking pretty. It’s not. They also trust me–knowing that what they are experiencing in front of the camera is very different than how I’m reading things behind it. It’s a fun ride.
Susannah was great–all of the above and more. We connected as photographers, mothers of young kiddos and the struggle to balance the two. And hopefully, we will connect in the near future over margaritas…
When I grow up, I want to be a photographer’s photographer.
The Zawistowski’s at Their Home
I really want to be a good person. I am a good person, sometimes. But I’m especially good at spotting exceptional people and watching and learning from them. There are few words or images that could ever capture the incredible humans that Katie and Peter are. I could try and start by saying that they are kind, generous, evolved, empathetic, great parents to little Arlo. They are fun, adventurous, optimistic. I mean seriously, the list of over-used words could just go on and on. They are GOOD PEOPLE. And I count myself so blessed to get to call them my friends. I’m lucky enough to have gotten to know them, learn from them, emulate their kindness and warmth. Basically, I want to grow up and be them. I love you, Zawistowski’s. You are medicine to my soul.
My Highlands people–the Calagias_Richardsons
Rob and Carly have been “my people” since the day they walked into my studio back in 2008. We connected over a shared love for Sigur Ros and good beer. And then I shot their wedding, met their friends and fell in love with them even more. I’ve since moved way out to the country and only get glimpses of this sweet family as they grow, but when I walk into their home, it feels like “home”. Fantastic parents, great kids, always the best music and this time, invaluable gardening tips from Rob who owns and operates Victory Hydro Gardening http://www.victoryhydro.com/
You guys make me miss the highlands. Many thanks. xo

I have “favorites”–I’m only human. This family…. they get to my heart every time. SO. MUCH. FUN!!
The Goldbergs
I am pretty sure we all thought that Lindsey and Adam’s wedding six years ago was the biggest and best day of their lives–in fact it most likely was. Little did they know however, that their lives would unfold and bring forth many more “big” and “best” days ever. The birth of Ava… and then recently the birth of Millie. I’m not comparing of course, I just know from experience that there is no greater joy–not even a wedding day that compares to giving birth to two healthy little girls–and those moments when they are in your arms and you keep smelling them and kissing the tops of their heads and weeping out of a mixture of hormones and ecstasy is BIG and THE BEST. I’m so honored to know this little family and to be able to document all of these moments for them–it somehow just keeps getting better and better.
