Month #9

It was a bit of a rough month for Genevieve with a scratched eye, a cold, two ear infections, and cutting her first tooth, but she's a trooper and is feeling much better. These days she is spending most of her time exploring the house with push toys, finding any and all pieces of food that her brothers drop on the floor, obsessing over going down the stairs, pointing her chubby little finger at anything and everything, swinging, and trying to crawl into the dishwasher. She enjoys being outside and playing in the snow....well, as much "playing" as one can do in a baby straightjacket (a.k.a. snowsuit).

She is saying "da-da-da" and what often sounds like "mom" and I like to believe she really means to refer to her doting parents, and (although it usually isn't) sometimes it even seems to be in the appropriate context. Love you too baby girl!

Take a New Perspective

Busy as life is and as accessible as cameras are, it can be easy to get lazy. It is easy to see something great, take a photo, and move on thinking "I got it." But.... did you really get it? Did you capture the feeling, the emotion, and the spirit of the subject? Or did you just take a picture?


One thing you learn quickly as a photographer is that the most obvious photograph is not always the best photograph. I urge everyone who is looking to take more interesting, emotional, and thought-provoking photographs to get up and MOVE - move up, move down, and move around your subject. Play and experiment to find the best perspective. Yes, it takes more energy, but it is so rewarding.

The Willson Girls are 3!


I have been so fortunate to watch these little ladies grow and change over the past couple of years, and completely honored to be asked to photograph them. I just adore them. It will be a sad day for my family when they pack up and move to Omaha this summer (although I'm sure their Grandma and Grandpa can't wait!). Happy birthday girls!
