The great Deb Schwedhelm wrote a little piece on her blog about the “perfect time” to get family photos taken. Of course, the answer is that there is no “perfect” time for family portraits. There will always be too many things to do each weekend, weight to lose or hair to grow out, not enough money, [...]

Inspiration
Posted in Reflections on May 25, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Most photographers follow other photographers’ work. We get inspired, we push ourselves to go further, we formulate ideas about how to make our clients even happier or market our work. There are a couple of amazing photographers the past few months whose work really inspires me, and who I look up to and admire. [...]

Everyone always says that photographers’ kids never get their photos taken. In our house, that is not at all true – our kids are little, and we are obsessed with documenting their every milestone and event and tooth and hair growth and whatever. Plus, they are built-in guinea pigs: if we have an idea or [...]

E-session with Danielle + Brent @ Eastern Market

Beautiful weather? Check. Photogenic people who love each other? Check. Vibrant and colorful location? Check. It pretty much doesn’t get any better than that! I had a great time photographing Danielle and Brent at their engagement session at the always awesome Eastern Market. It’s obvious they’re totally in love and are meant to be (they’ve known [...]
Ode to a Lens

I recently purchased my first Canon L-series Lens, and let me just say … daaaamn. I LOVE this lens! Actually, love is perhaps not a strong enough word to describe my feelings. I attach it to my 7D and it’s “like buttah” – so smooth, so fast, so crisp, so bright. It really is worth the [...]

We are BEYOND delighted to announce that our permanent web site is now up for your viewing pleasure! This is version 3.0 – we did our first site over a year ago, for a class project for Mark (LOL!). Then our second site came a few months ago when we “re-started” TSP, with lots of [...]
Reflecting on Motherhood …

I’ve been a mom now (or is it mama? Or mother?) for two years and four months … or just over three years, if you include my pregnancy (which, actually, I do). I love it MOST of the time – and I think us moms need to be more okay with admitting we don’t necessarily [...]
