The Beauty of a Bump

I didn’t feel that my baby bumps were something that I needed to photograph during both my pregnancies. I merely wanted photographic evidence of the amazing width my middle was becoming. So I could say years later, “look how big I was!”

What I didn’t know at the time was that I would want to have captured something other than girth – the real beauty of it all.



When you are pregnant your body becomes temporarily someone else’s as well as your own. So much so, it becomes hard to recognize yourself in a mirror. And hard to see the beauty that pregnancy processes. The beauty of life that only a woman can hold - the most natural beauty enhancement around.





Ann was pregnant with her third child and I was hoping to document this personal and meaningful time for her in a way that she would cherish for many years to come.



I wanted to create something that she could look back at and see more than what she saw at the time when she was 9 months pregnant. I didn’t want her to only see the growth of her middle. I wanted her to see the amazing and unique beauty that only pregnant woman posses.







Thank you Ann for allowing me to be a part of you and your childs life together.

Such Little Ladies

Anne told me about an idea she had for a shoot with her girls. She was inspired by an advertisement in a parenting magazine and had cut it out a while ago. She described it to me and I tried my best to make it work for her and the girls.

She had a vision and I think that is why her and the girls made this shoot so easy to pull off. She found the perfect location, had multipleoutfits and brought along some great props. Not to mention she has the cutest little girls ever! And so well behaved! It couldn't have gone any better.

Thanks Anne!

Capturing Cohen

We all know young children move so quickly as it is…and when you add a camera and someone who desperately wants their attention it becomes a really fun game for a child.



Little Cohen had such a great mischievous smile and to capture it in a great photo was my objective.




Although young children may not sit still, pose or want to please the photographer, when they do smile it won’t be forced – it will be the real deal. The trick is then to be ready when it happens and quick enough to capture it!




Thanks to mom who is willing to get her hands dirty - little Cohen has no problems giving me that mischievous little smile.
