Inspired: Child Fashion

I AM TERRIBLE AT MAKING UP MY MIND In preparation for a child fashion editorial this coming Saturday, I have been studying other photographers, gathering inspiration, and basically still deciding exactly how I want to setup over the next couple of days. I will be shooting a line of flower-girl dresses that remind me of...

Baby L.

This little one was THE most alert/awake baby I’ve worked with. Just 2 months old and incredibly active. Baby L. didn’t tire out until 1.5 hours into the session! When I work with newborns, I try not to exceed 2 hours, unless the baby is cooperative, and prefer to go with what the baby is...

Portraits + Chairs = Timeless

She presented very strong attentiveness during every situation and I’d gather she...

Sad, yet happy to be a ‘homeless’ photographer, and excited to find the perfect space, to say the least! The plan is to open up shop in Cambridge, Ohio....

Basically, wisdom comes forth through awareness

_MDB8159

How long can you sit there thinking “this is what needs to happen”, “this is what I’m going to do”, “here is what I should have done *sulk*”, “but I don’t want to give [this particular person or thing] away”…. etc?  Sometimes I think things through until I’ve lost nights worth of valuable rest, days...

$25 Faces

I have given a lot of thought to this, and with the new direction I’m headed with my work it only seems fitting. When I first began the journey with my camera, I was on a conceptual high, creating dreamy, specific sets for my photosessions. As time has progressed and my vision has evolved, I’ve...
