oest larson family

I truly love my job. I get to build relationships with families and watch their children grow up through my lens. I get to go to beautiful parks on gorgeous days and PLAY with kids being kids and capture moments of whimsy and fun and love between families. I LOVE it. The Oest Larson family I've been shooting for several years now. The girls, Lene and Kate kill me. And mom, Erin can style any shoot for me if she wants. Check out the ponies she picked up at a garage sale the day before. We had a blast!

Jay Maisel

I finished a 4 day workshop with the legendary New York photographer Jay Maisel on Sunday. It was fascinating to have the opportunity to hear him speak about his work and his 50+ year career. He's incredibly articulate, charming, the consummate New Yorker and makes for a great teacher. He was very generous and open and I'm still in awe. :) His workshop is called color, light and gesture and was terribly inspiring. I think his words of wisdom will be informing my work for a long time. Here's a few of my favorite images shot this weekend:

I can't help myself. Here's a favorite recent photo of my now 18 month old (!!!) little man. I love this shot because he's still in his jammies after a nap and he's actually just chilling out...for at least a split second :)

New York Fashion Week

Welcome to the introductory installment of my new blog! I'm excited to be able to share recent work and good news.

Speaking of, I just had the thrill of shooting backstage at the fall 2008 fashion shows in New York for Beauty.com! It was a dream come true. Here are some of my favorite behind the scenes (and in front of) shots.
