Welcome to my Blog

Now that you're here ... I hope you'll stay for a bit ... and keep coming back for more.
My slice of photographic life, lived in moments of time, shared with clients, photographers, designers, entrepreneurs, family & friends.

You might be interested in the photographs I create or the work I publish. You might be interested in life at extremes when it's 30 below zero outside with only 4 hours of daylight or when there is sun almost 24 hours a day. Or you might be interested in family & motherhood. Or maybe you're most interested in finding out how I see your world. That moment when the shutter clicks & life develops before our eyes.

I hope you feel inspired to pursue your dreams, your own piece of calm & happiness. I hope you hear that little voice inside you that wants to savor these moments forever. I hope you feel compelled enough to leave a note, a comment {some blog love} on the topic at hand. And I hope you feel that tiny bit of hope that says we're all in this together.
Living, dreaming, being.

A Post to Post | Fairbanks Child & Family Photographer

July 1, 2009 | Sneak Peek

How cute are they?! I know. You don’t even have to say! :D Mama A and I have been scheming this session for what feels like forever – phone, e-mail, you name it! We probably could have Skype’d a few times too if either of us could find the time. ;) I’m so thankful she chose me to have as her family photographer … well, truthfully, thankful seems like an understatement. When you find out that this is *the first* family photo session ever … you feel very humbled. It’s such a meaningful step in the life of becoming a family unit – starting your journey of ‘family pictures’ that show your love, laughter & spirit through the years. When you put it that way … I feel very honored. Thank you, Mama A. I had a blast with you guys! And seriously, do I need to mention again how stinkin’ cute they are?!

Exhibit A ;)

Moms, take note: just plain ol’ over-alls for our shoot = THE MachC outfit {Classic AND Modern.}

I love*love*love this next shot … it’s so “life with a toddler” and if you can laugh through it all … there are good roads up ahead.

It’s really too bad we didn’t have any fun at all. ;)
