I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend wherever you may be. I’m prepping today for a commercial shoot with another excellent kids company. In the meantime enjoy a recent portrait session in Chicago, IL with baby Ned. This little guy was such a great subject. His parents are lovely people and fed me some delicious chocolate croissants and coffee. Their home is amazing and incredibly unique. I hope to share more soon.

I’ll be out of the office the rest of the week. I’ll be checking in most evenings but bare with me until I’m back online again on Friday.

Hello there. I’ve been on the road for a little over a week (apologies if you’re waiting to hear from me). I’ve had a little family time mixed with a few really special shoots. One in particular was baby Whistler in Chicago. Whistler’s parents are dear friends of mine (and the husband) and we have been so happy to welcome him into the world. I can’t wait to share more!

Have a great weekend. I hope you’re enjoying Summer wherever you may be.

welcome baby Whistler

I have the wonderful opportunity of traveling to Chicago to shoot a few times per year, among other cities. If it’s a wintertime shoot I am usually a little obsessed with the weather the week before I arrive as anyone who has lived there will tell you winter weather can be unpredictable. On my last trip in late November we lucked out with an unseasonably warm weekend. I have a bunch of shoots to share from that trip that I will intersperse with Bay area shoots over the next few weeks. I’ll be posting more frequently so please stay tuned.

A gigantic thanks to Anne, Ryan, and especially Miss Arabel for a really lovely afternoon. We started at home where I got to see Arabel’s wonderful personality. She was giving me hugs within a few minutes of meeting her which is always a good sign of a great shoot. After we shot for about 45 minutes at home Anne and Ryan took us all to a perfect location nearby. We were greeted by really spectacular late afternoon winter light, mix that with a really handsome and fun family and well that’s my favorite way to shoot. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts!
