Running out of time for the perfect Mother’s Day Gift? Fret no more… I offer gift certificates. Just give the office a call, and we will take care of your photo gift needs. In fact, the session I’m posting today was a gift session. A few weeks ago, Brian hired me for this super fun...
I so agree with Noelle: the basset photo is the best! it brings an instant smile … somehow it says JOY to me. Love it.
Your dog portraits are so fantastic!
Yay! DOGS!!! How fun is that session?! Great job capturing their personalities and connection with their humans too. That’s a challenging task!
Love the labs, but my favorite is the basset in search of other things! They are all great!!
You must have had been in heaven: all those dogs!
A few weeks back, Beth and I had a super fun day photographing some family portraits for Piper, Brian, Doc, and Cooper. This day was full of lots of doggy adventure… or should I say this adventure was full of lots of doggies! I’ll reveal more when I post the rest of the images. For...

Love, love this idea! Do you do boat themes? I’m hiring you this summer to do me and my kids! I have none….I wonder why? xoxo
You did a fantastic job capturing that baby’s spirit!
Several years ago, I read an interview with rocker girl Gwen Stefani. I don’t think she was pregnant yet, but she was talking about her marriage and plans for children in the near future. She asked “Really, what is more romantic than two people choosing to raise children together?” I know, I know. It can...

Romance and love are right. Great shot
Priceless. I LOVE this photo!
She is a cutie! I love this picture of her!
Don’t forget I’m a newbie at this blog challenge business, but hang in there with me. Today’s entry is a little different from the rest. Instead of making a heart, Beth my sister “found” a heart. Kind of like when you’re laying on a blanket looking up at a summer sky and you see a...

Great hair style Beth and you know I’m a sucker for an abstract heart found in nature.
Love is everywhere :)
Excellent heart – and great update on your studio manager <3
Have you ever thought about doing a portrait session in the winter? If not, I think you should! While the flowers of spring, grass of summer, and colors of autumn are all beautiful, I have to say I do love me a wintry scene. With this in mind, I’m happy to share with you a...

Is this offer available offsite? I would like to schedule a session for my family.
I think this is a great idea! I can’t wait for July to see all the creative spirit!
This rocks! I’ll need to get an appt during a period of more temperate (warmer) weather…..
[...] send out some custom photo Valentines Day cards, you should seriously consider booking a session on Saturday January 16th as part of my new Snapshots! series…. yep the photos are going to have a Valentines Day [...]
I’ve been living in Central New York for about two years now. Yesterday, however, was the first time I drove to Ithaca; and already, I can’t wait to go back. The drive was filled with amazing rural landscapes, which I hope to photograph in the springtime, if not sooner. I didn’t have time {to stop...

“Whose kids are these??!!!!”
If you can just hold still we’ll have PIZZA for DINNER!!
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!”
“You just won an all expenses paid vacation to Disney World!”
I “hear” ‘Mom, Mom, Mom’ … ‘Dad, Dad, Dad …’
Maybe that’s just from my own personal experience! :)
I’ve been in business for myself for about fifteen years… give or take. Throughout all of those years, I’ve been the girl wearing ALL of the hats… photographer (that is my favorite one), marketer, accountant, errand girl, editor, etc. If you have ever been in business for yourself, you know there are A LOT of...

The pictures are wonderful. My cousin Beth looks just like she did 20 years ago.
Good to meet you in New Orleans – wasn’t that city amazing? I’ll be in touch.
Nice shots and great team! Congrats to you both!!!
ABP, Chicago
Thanks for the awesome introduction :) . I am so excited to be working with you! You have amazing skills as a photographer and with me working on some of the other things, you’ll be able to concentrate on the things you’re best at! Like you always say, “Two Pattersons are better than one!” (Of course usually we’re just trying to open the ketchup bottle).
It looks like you guys will make a great team!
I had a great family portrait session with Jeff and his beautiful daughters Jordan and Sara. You may remember Sara from her senior portrait session! After the shoot today, we were talking on the front porch saying our goodbyes, as they were all getting ready to head home. At some point I glance over and...

Having a great time in Los Angeles, and today’s job made it even greater! How lucky am I to have two dog portrait sessions in one week? Answer: Very lucky! Here is a cute favorite from the end of our shoot. After a long hard day of modeling, Nils was ready for a nap… Tomorrow,...

My dear friends and clients, Jen and John, said a sad and unexpected farewell to their beloved dog Bear, who recently fell ill and has passed on. In their honor, I’d like to share some of my favorite photos of Bear. This first shot is a classic example of why we love our pet’s so...

Karen had the fun idea to surprise her husband, with portraits of their daughters, for his birthday.

Megan and Lauren’s mom (the ever so charming Joanne), first contacted me to schedule Lauren’s senior portrait. Before that, however, we had a secret portrait session of the two girls, as a birthday surprise for their dad. So now that Tom has received his birthday presents, I’m delighted to share some of my favorites. Happy...

Abby had a lot to smile about during her fantastic birthday/ high school graduation weekend; and this candy filled pinata says it all! Her parents sure know how throw a good-time-had-by-all-kind-of-party! There was fun decorations that included homemade flowers and lots of balloons! This next shot reminds me of the sweet movie UP! There she...

This is the second of three (maybe four) segments from my recent trip to Belmont, MA (which is just outside of Boston). In my last post, you saw some photos that Diane had hired me to take of her sister’s family. Later that same day, Diane’s dear mom hired me to photograph Diane and her...

This is the first of three segments revolving around a fabulous (working/pleasure combo) weekend I had in Boston, in early June. My friend Diane invited me down to help celebrate her Abby’s high school graduation. Congratulations again Abby… you rock! I was so happy when Diane said that she wanted to gift her sister Patty...

A few years ago, I was honored to photograph Piper and Jamie’s beautiful wedding at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA. Can you say GORGEOUS? So when I received Piper’s email requesting portraits of their growing family, in San Francisco, I was tickled pink! Their baby Helena is sooooo adorable. Piper and Jamie? Why yes,...

This father and daughter duo, are the best of the best! Okay, I confess I’m totally biased… you see, for the past four years, I’ve been lucky enough to call these two my family. There are not enough adjectives in the world to express how truly awesome Giovanni and Besso are! A few weeks ago,...
