I had a couple spare hours this afternoon so I finally allowed myself a peek at the first (of eight) family session that I did while in Portland recently. Since I couldn’t carry my 24″ iMac with me on the plane I didn’t even want to start looking at the many families’ photos before I...

Welcome back, to me!
I’m back from 10 days out west and jumping right into school and practicum this week. Eek! My time in Oregon was jam-packed and much too short. Between nine family portrait shoots, visiting with family & friends, and cheering on my brothers (in-law) as their team kicked BUTT in the Hood to Coast relay race,...
Headed west. No time to blog!
At 3am tomorrow morning me and my as-yet-unpacked bags are heading to O’Hare bound for Portland. While there I’ll have the opportunity to take 10 familes’ photos, volunteer as part of team Twisted Blister in the Hood to Coast relay race & spend some brief, but quality time with some of my most favorite people. ...
Welcome (again)! (& my apologies)
First of all, it is important, dear readers, that you know that I know what an annoyance all of this recent changing of blog addresses has been for you lately. I, as much as the next person, hate to have to update my bookmarks and various other blog links. So please, please accept my sincerest...
The Officially Official Launch

I’ve consulted & solicited feedback...

Yesterday was probably the most unlucky day of my life. Or at least the last decade. Or year. From toxic red Crystal Light fruit punch spilling everywhere when the glass decided to suddenly & inexplicably break to tearing off part of a fingernail on a sharp part of the underside of my microwave while cleaning...
Families – Love ‘em!
In addition to a couple weddings this month I will have the opportunity to photograph 10+ families in the next few weeks! Kicking off my family portrait extravaganza tonight was a family who are originally from the Midwest, moved to So Cal (where I first met them at church), and then moved to Chicagoland about...
Matt & Amanda’s Wedding is up! (Update: Both Parts!)

Crossing my fingers
Hoping Kayla pulls out a win tonight on SYTYCD as she has MAD skills. So does choreographer Mia Michaels with this contemporary piece depicting addiction. (The video will appear paused until about :14)
Today
Today I helped a friend move out of his apartment and load everything into a storage unit until the condo he was in the process of buying became officially his. While moving into the storage unit he found out the bank wanted an extra $60k (the condo was a foreclosure). As this condo was a...
