Back in Action!

a little drawing inspired by spring and my healing hand

I’ve been on hiatus for the last month with a hand injury. You probably don’t want to know all the details, but it involved an ambulance and follow-up surgery, and even some physical therapy for good measure. Yikes! The time away has reminded me to appreciate the little things because you truly never know what might happen.

But now I’m on the mend, and back in action! I had a great session last week, and I’ve got a couple coming down the wire. But if you’re looking for a session soon, it’s a great time to get in touch with me – no month-long waits or anything like that. I’m also planning my summer, and looking to schedule some time in the midwest. If you’re in Chicago or Iowa City and interested in photos, be sure to let me know!

I’ll be doing free people & pet portraits at Broadway Veterinary Hospital on Saturday, May 12th, and I’ll be hosting a sample session event on Tuesday, May 15th. Mark your calendars, and be sure to check out future posts for more information!

Another Amana Adventure

This family is so great – creative, enthusiastic, agreeable – all the things I could ask for. We had a fun time walking around the lily lake in Amana.

Stopped in Amana, Iowa – Childrens’ Portraits

I love these kids to death. I got to hang out with them for a few hours last weekend in Iowa, and what a treat! They had loads of fun and Mom even dressed them up in their formal clothes from a wedding they were in last month, which means I had as much fun playing as they did! It’s amazing how much these two kids have changed – and stayed the same.

Children’s Portraits – Midwest Edition

Lara — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 05:35:50 +0000

If you read my blog much, you’ve seen this guy before. This is my third year as his photographer, and I had a great time reconnecting with his family. They’ve been part of my annual midwest tour, and they help make my trips a lot of fun. What I love best about this group of images is the insight into character. The boy he is this summer has been captured in these images. Even as things continue to change, these photographs will always have a magical ingredient that defies explanation. That magic is what keeps me making photographs.

Travel Plans

It’s that time of year again! Time to plan my travels. This summer I will be heading out to the midwest once again. I will be scheduling appointments in both Chicago and Iowa City in the near future. If you’re interested in booking an appointment, contact me as soon as possible! No flights have been booked on my end, so I might be able to accommodate your travel plans. Last year’s travels were great fun, and I was able to create a lot of memorable photos. Keep your eyes out for upcoming details.

This was one of my favorites from last year’s trip to Iowa City . . .
