I watched John Wagner graciously host about two hundred of his closest friends and colleagues, surrounded by his beautiful wife and daughters, and I just smiled. Dancing free, hands in the air, wearing big smiles. This is what happens when you dream it and have the courage to take the risk. The Wagners were in...

Peter Krug. Artist.
Dog days of summer, last . . . I lay in bed, dreaming of creating an office/studio haven in our home. Pieces of the puzzle fell into place quickly. . . they included a comfy brown leather Restoration Hardware couch . . . a pile of books by Robert Frank, Walker Evans, and Henri...

Elizabeth.
Blissful Liz. She’s my dream client. She loves photography, and had walked her gorgeous farmland to scope out spots for us well in advance of our scheduled session. So for this one, dear reader, Elizabeth shares in the outcome. Icing on the cake for me?? When I walked into her home, her mom came...
Lauren + Robert. Overhills Mansion Wedding.
Facebook. It conjures kisses and disses, but for Lauren and Robert the kisses have it. Decades after first love at 15, they reunited and reignited. No letting it slide this time, despite the inconvenience of those long states that separated them. They revisited their old haunts, recreated their first dates and knew very quickly. The...
Oh, did I fail to mention??
