lisa is one of my most enthusiastic and supportive clients. she is like a little pick me up every time i see her. happy, positive, and energetic. and i got to see her a lot last year. she did my one, two, three baby plan and a family session. and she is going to be EXCITED to see her family on here, i bet she will call her neighbor over to see. and i love that! enthusiasm is so contagious. and they all just make me want to smile.

incorporating art

when i walked into the home of our friends brett and billie a little over a year ago to shoot newborn gray, i knew i wanted to do this.

this is a painting given to them by a friend from college-it portrays thom yorke (the lead singer of radiohead) and someone else i cant remember.

billie emailed me around gray’s first birthday to get tips on how to shoot him best in front of the painting again. she wants to do it every year. (how cool right?)

so when i shot their christmas card photos in december, i begged them to bring the piece to me, since i wasnt able to go to them.

and they did.

note to my clients-if you’d ever like to incorporate something like this in one of your sessions just let me know! the bigger and crazier the better. haha.
