Delights: Things to Make Life Better
Today was one of those days. The simplest of things turned into complicated, annoying things. I thought I’d be home relaxing at at certain time, and it took hours longer to get to that point. At the peak of my frustration, I asked myself, “What is it all about? What’s actually important to me?”
On Location: Sisters in London
Gunnersbury Park
What a delight to discover that this big sister was the perfect hand-holding height to help her baby sister who was learning to walk.

Gunnersbury Park made a gorgeous background with its two mansions and path of ruins. Ideal for two sisters to explore!

3 Cold-Weather Photo Shoot Ideas
Paris + Normandy, France
Winter isn’t the most obvious time for a family photo session, but after the holiday craziness dies down, a lot of families find it easier to schedule. Many of my clients opted to send photo Valentines this year, if they failed to make the Christmas and New Year’s cards deadlines. In case you’re worried about pink noses and making layers work, I put together three concepts for inspiration from photo sessions I did in France this winter that prove it to be a wonderfully creative season for a shoot.
Holiday Card Portraits
Not to add to the noise of holiday prep waaaay in advance of the holidays, but there is one thing that will need a little extra time to pull off, if you want to do something special…
