Professional Work:

I currently shoot a limited number of weddings each year, so contact me as soon as possible to inquire about your date. I have a few openings left for 2008, but these will likely be filled by early spring.

I also shoot high-school seniors, families, babies, and businesses. Visit my professional portfolio or get in touch with me by clicking here. I look forward to hearing from you.

A special shout-out to my husband Jared who designed this custom blog template from scratch. You can check out his Holland based web design company by clicking here.


Color Me Winfield

I’ve been into the ’70s classic book “Color Me Beautiful.”  Win is a summer–no doubt.  Doesn’t he look great in this shirt!   Jared and Win are summers and Harriet (I think) and I are springs.  When I put on shirts like Win’s blue one I look like a zombie.  Isn’t Win a hottie!

An eye for color

I went in to check on Win during his morning playtime in his room. He’d altered his outfit a bit. He picked out a pair of Babylegs and matching socks and put them on his hands. I like how they perfectly match his skivvies.  Yes, those are toddler boxer briefs.

Anybody need anything measured?

Hattie growed up

Nearly every morning lately I’ve been making inside-out french toast for Winfield. He affectionately calls it, “inside French toad.” Also, nearly every morning, he insists that Harriet wants some too. He does like to share his experiences with her. Since babies aren’t supposed to have egg whites I’d been telling him that she is too little to have inside French toad.

At her last check up the doc told us that she’s allowed eggs now so I thought that a little inside French toad would be a good introduction. The first morning that I gave her some Win triumphantly yelled, “Hattie growed up. She’s eatin’ inside French toad.”

Here she is this morning nibbling on little squares.

A hot week

It’s been decently hot in Holland the past week.  Win Harriet and I really enjoyed hanging out by the pool earlier this week.

Right before taking this picture I removed about 7 petunia petals from Hattie’s mouth.  She really likes to eat grassy, naturey things.

Winfield’s been working on a project.

I won’t tell you what it is, but it involves a clean and dry Plesiosaurus.
