We had such a great time reading through the entries and choosing our (2) finalists.  –It was a tough decision but there were two couples who really seemed the best ‘fit’ in terms of  the ‘fun and fabulousness’  that allowed them to be chosen. Voting’ begins now and your may select the couple you would […]

Still in PJ’s with hair a disheveled mess ‘recovering’ from a whirlwind week of moving into our new studio space and preparing for our first Mamarazzi Workshop.  Its been a good week.  I mean, a really good week. (and oh man, its only Wednesday!! 😉 ) Our little studio is taking shape and the workshop went off with only […]

Like I had mentioned in this post…many times our lifestyle portraiture clients give the gift of custom photography to someone they love.  In this case…one sweet mama commissioned us for surprise gift for her hubby’s bday.  After coming up with a cleaver excuse..daddy was booted from the  house and we captured some sweet memories we think he will enjoy.   Take a look, see what we […]

All I can say is WOW.  You all really got into this! We had hundreds and hundreds of folks take the time to ‘vote’ for the their favorite ‘Mom’ image.  Its been an especially  heated battle between two of the sweetest Mom’s I have met since day 1. (who knew a little contest would bring out such […]

A year ago, Kevin and Mandy were blessed to welcome their first child sweet Baby Zoe into the world.  And lucky me– I have been blessed to spend this past year documenting many parts of  their first year as a family. From excited parents-to-be putting the finishing touches on a nursery,to  a new home, first tut-tu’s and tears, four seasons and now..a first bday. […]

Ever wish you could stop time for just a few minutes in your life?  Perhaps its something as simple as watching your little one brush her teeth, an afternoon coffee with your sister or a night in front of the fire with your hubby. –Things we have perhaps seen a million times over and though  not as […]

Gorgeous=Gorgeous!  Alison and Ian could not have chosen a more gorgeous location for their gorgeous wedding than the Ocean Key Resort in Key West, FL.   (PS:  Not to mention how stunning they are! Well, I guess we just did:-) Stephen took the lead on this one and the colors just jump from the page!  (To say that those of us […]

Tea parties, princess crowns, feather baos…oh, to be 1!  As I get  ‘the wheels back on the wagon’ after a busy, busy holiday season I am beginning to catch up on blogging sessions.  These darling sisters (and their sweet parents too:-)  met me in a secret,  magical spot of woods where the light flows in in fabulous streaks and the greenery […]

So..let me go on the record and say custom lifestyle photography is NOT for everyone. (Though I certainly wish it were:-) Custom photography requires an excitement about capturing moments in your life vs. a snapshot, it typically requires a a bit more planning, more time on your (and your photographers) behalves. It is also a  higher investment than traditional portraiture. (Much like saving for an ‘investment’ piece of clothing or designer […]

I love every session.  I really do.  Cliche’ as it may be–having the ability to document a certain day, week, moment in someone’s life really is an honor.  But somedays….something just ‘clicks’…a combination of circumstances, lighting, happiness or chaos…the moment is just ‘perfect.’  And this session, ladies and gentlemen was one of those. When I met the Kalgren family ‘littlest’ […]
