This blog sits at the intersection of my life as a photographer, a mom, a wife and all the things I adore.

Since I made a few changes to this site recently, here’s a brief tour of what’s new:
- Comments – You can now leave a comment on individual entries. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
- Categories – You’ll see them listed in the sidebar on the left and again with descriptions in the archives.
- Search – Search is available on all entries and pages.
- Tags – Just another way to search. You’ll find a tag cloud (listing of all tags weighted by how many entries under each) on the archive page and tags on each entry.
- Flash Header – A flash based slideshow of images in the header of each page. Cute, I think.

During Kendall’s last doctor visit I documented the rituals of the wellness checkup. You’ll see that she is the perfect photographer’s child. If you have a doctor’s visit scheduled, plan to take your camera! It was a spur of the moment decision to grab my camera on the way out the door. I only realized once I downloaded the images how truly priceless these are.
Move your mouse pointer over the image for slideshow navigation.

Slideshow powered by Autoviewer. It’s awesome, get it for your website.

Well, it’s happened. I’ve been “back” from maternity leave for the last month or so. Technically, I’ve never been on maternity leave, not full time anyway. I’ve continued to do my chicagouncommon.com work throughout. Speaking of which, if you are going to Northwestern’s Prentice Women’s Hospital look for my Chicago images which are on permanent display.
Look at me going on tangents already!
In the past few days I’ve spruced up this site a bit to prepare for the new year. I have some more work to do, but I didn’t want to leave the site down for more than a few days. I’ve added categories to the right, but only the last few entries have been categorized. Next up – an update to the portfolio site.
On to what you really care about … I’ve been so happy to see that many of you have been anxiously awaiting my return to portrait work. Me too! I’ve missed working with all of your beautiful children! Beginning this April I will officially begin scheduling portrait sessions. I’ll be posting more information including available dates in the days ahead. Please note that I currently have a waiting list about 30 families long and all available dates will go to the waiting list first.

Our little girl arrived 3 weeks early on November 1st weighing 7lbs and measuring 19in. Absolutely perfect (if I do say so myself.) I’ll continue to be on maternity leave enjoying this little miracle until Spring 2008. See you all then!!!

Oh! Did I mention she was born with a full head of hair?

Clearly, this little part of my site has been neglected.
This time I have a wonderful excuse … I’m pregnant. My husband and I are expecting our first child this November. Oh-my-goodness! Between dealing with the sickies of my first trimester and at the same time trying to maintain my business I’ve found it difficult to find time to do anything outside of eat and sleep.
fresh! will continue to be on the stale side throughout my pregnancy and perhaps into 2008.
A note about availability:
Due to my pregnancy and the need to complete other photography endeavors before my maternity leave, future portrait sessions will not be scheduled until Spring 2008.

Many of the families I photograph have at least one furry family member. More often than not the story told involves the pup being the first child. Wow do I understand that! I thought it was only fair to introduce everyone to mine.
