Being an entrepreneur and a creative has its own set of challenges. One of those challenges is making sure you have enough paying clients to not only keep yourself in business but being able to pay your own bills. Another challenge is how to address people when they ask, “Why are you so expensive?” To […]

For the past two weeks, I have been on vacation in Boston. I don’t like to tell the world when I’m actually on vacation because you never know who’s watching. Anyway, my son and I flew up here to spend time with my husband. By the time you read this, I will either be flying […]

Just recently I had the pleasure of teaming up with a long-time client of mine. Her daughter had just turned ten and she wanted to commemorate that special year with family portraits. The last time I photographed her daughter was when she was 18 months. Prior to that, Michele had her maternity, newborn, 6-month, 1-year […]

We are currently in the middle of spring break and I feel that it has already gone by too quickly. My son thinks that he was the only one looking forward to it but I’m here to say, he was not. I, like many parents and teachers, was looking forward to no school. Currently, my […]

This past weekend I was reunited with an old friend of mine and her daughter. My friend Pam used to be my son’s pre-school teacher. He was three-years-old when we met her. In case you’re wondering how long we’ve known each other, my son is 15. We’ve kept in touch off and on over the […]

Hey, hey hey! Calling all child models! Lately, I have been very busy behind the scenes trying to prepare for this.
