It turns out that her mother, Hallie, has been following the blog since I photographed her grandchildren. She had the thought that she would love to see similar images of Senator Clinton. As a […]

I so appreciate the very cool feedback and emails I received after posting some photographs of Barack Obama (and Annie!!). One of the things I was asked most often was if I could post some more images. I will definitely do so later, after the magazine goes to press, but I do have clearance to […]

So I promised images from the day with Barack Obama. Here are some shots Steve grabbed of me, seriously excited (fired up & ready to go!!!) to photograph everything… And the subject himself…this was photographed from about 50 feet back, in a crowd of thousands. Then we moved up to the buffer…now about 5 feet […]

Had a great time down in West Palm Beach this week with my talented friends Lena Hyde and Laura Novak – we all stayed at Lena’s gorgeous house (looks like something out of House Design Magazine – uh, I made up that name, but that’s what it looked like to me) and stayed up late, […]

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is a powerful organization that is also difficult to discuss. Working with NILMDTS has been an honor, yes. It is also heart-wrenching for all involved. I kept the application to join on my desk for a few years, willing myself to have the courage to fill it out […]

A bridal portrait I photographed of the gorgeous Carrie Williamson was picked up for exclusive usage (with the blessings of Carrie, of course!) by a cosmetics company, and it’s been great fun to see them use this image as the sole core-message photograph in their national campaign. I’d seen it last month in Ladies Home […]

My daughter & I head out to Shriner’s Hospital for Children in St. Louis every year. I’m always so impressed with the medical work they do there and how much of the organization’s focus is to simply do good for others. It’s a boring plane ride, so we had a bit of fun with music […]

After months and months of negotiating for approval to run through Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Endurance Magazine finally got permission to host the inaugural Tarheel 10-Miler, a 10-mile running event, benefiting the YMCA Strong Kids Foundation. Securing this race was quite a coup (Congrats, Steve, Thys and the rest of the staff!!), and the 10-mile […]

I’ve had blonde hair my whole life, so when I walked into the hair salon a couple weeks ago and they asked what I wanted, I thought I’d try a different look. I decided to (gasp) darken my hair to auburn, and I’m totally loving it. Mixed reviews from others, though… 1. My daughter cried […]
