There were four kittens and their mama living under our deck earlier this summer! Very skittish. The gray one was braver than the others, so she briefly posed for a portrait.

We were out to lunch at Millrose in South Barrington with fellow photographer Jay Crihfield. These wines were for sale in their wine shop and they made me laugh out loud! Evidently every Mommy needs a little time to herself…

We met our friends Paul and Kim Froning and spent the afternoon photographing the festivities, and also offered studio prizes for the raffle. We found ourselves focusing on the kids, including Eva,...

We’re in Peoria, IL at a seminar with the super-swanky and super-talented Jeff & Julia Woods. They do a lot of senior photos, but not the stodgy ones that were taken when I was in High School. These days the photos are edgy and very fashion-oriented. The photo here is from a...
