Baby Sam

Check it: my childhood BFF married a Miles. So, we are sisters now, if in name only. I digress. She married one of my high school friends and they created this amazing guy. Meet Sam.

Leavitt Family

I'm back! It's been a crazy few months, and I have lots to share. Even though I haven't been blogging, I've been shooting a lot. Here's the first of many to come.

Gray's Anatomy: Light

Photography is about capturing light. Light paired with this delicious baby is other-worldly.

Things that Go.

Namely, one little 15-month-old.

Introducing 'Gray's Anatomy' | My 2011 Photo Project

Personal work is the cornerstone of any craft. It is where you find your voice and your vision. The last year, for me, has been a blur of sleepless nights, messy diapers, and endless drool. It has also been filled to the brim with little giggles, sloppy kisses, and pinching cheeks.

I'll be sharing my project in parts. The first part is comprised of baby Gray's most captivating feature. No one meets him without commenting on them. When he looks at me, I feel like he can see right into my soul. The very deepest parts of me. And it makes me want to be a better person.

I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking.

Nothing like a Newborn

New dad.

New baby.

New love.

Getting Ready

One of my favorite parts of wedding coverage is when the bride is prepping for her special day. It's the one part of the experience where I get to stand back and let the magic unfold with no directing or styling.

Let's capture every moment of the day you never want to forget.
