newborn sessions just make me happy. the sweet newness is softening. it’s a privilege to look in from the outside as parents are gently learning about their brand -new wee one. i took a little drive across the valley to photograph baby emily on saturday, while she’s still tiny and new.
meet brand-new baby emily.

…is turning 1! can’t quite believe it but mighty-max is almost a whole year old. what a beautiful year it’s been for him and his family. maxi-pants has come a long way in just twelve months. take a look at their family blog here to see just how far.

i made the professional decision awhile ago to not blog more than 4 or 5 images per session, for several reasons. however, there are times when it just can’t be helped. so, sit back and enjoy the marathon.

i.love.max.

i recently uploaded all of my iphone photos to my computer, after almost a year of not doing so. as i looked through all of them i realized how much i really do love the iphone camera (i know, i’ve said it before). i use it daily. the fact that i’m able to act on inspiration, without hesitation, like it’s a natural reaction…is truly a gift. it’s allowed me to document my life thoroughly. obviously, the images it creates aren’t high quality so i’m not totally certain what i’ll do with them but i’m working on some test prints of storyboards. if all goes well, i’ll share the results. the following iphone images are a few that span the last 10 months or so.

seems like there might be an adjective missing here. hmmm. either way, he completely loved his birthday mocha from Liberty Market today.
