On the way to Tami & Heath’s engagement session one bright Sunday morning not too long ago, I was seriously doubting myself. We’d shot our last pre-baby wedding the night before, and I was eight different kinds of exhausted. I’d met and shot Tami before, so I knew she’d be perky and beautiful and high...

warning!!! Incoming randomness…
(pssst… this has nothing to do with photography OR pregnancy. It has to do with me being weird. It’s my blog, I can write what I want. thanks! )
SENSUAL: relating to or affecting any of the sense organs… sensory… connected or pre-occupied with bodily or sensory stimulation.

happy birthday jack-attack!!
I started off in denial that my sweet baby could be turning 7 years old today. SEVEN. That’s far closer to two digits than it is to one. To my credit, I haven’t cried today. I think this is his first birthday that didn’t involve tears on my part!
I had someone tell me once (really)...
on the inside — Hilary & Cody’s wedding
I mentioned in my Super Sneaker a few days ago that Hilary is one of those people who’s absolutely beautiful on the inside. I’m going to take that same principle and apply it to her relationship with Cody.
According to the toast given by Hilary’s father at the wedding, Cody wasn’t really Hil’s “type” at first...
reminiscing on a working pregnancy… plus super sneaker!
When I scheduled my last shooting day as March 16, it seemed like a really really long way away. Like, not really ever going to get here. Even last Saturday, when we shot our last pre-baby wedding, it didn’t quite seem real. I wasn’t done, ya know? I still had another portrait session to shoot....
the best kind of beautiful
There are so many different kinds of beauty. I, for one, am grateful for that. I thrive on variety, and I love finding beauty in unexpected places.
Still, there’s a generally accepted kind of beautiful woman. The kind with glowing skin and shining eyes and fantastic coloring and gorgeous hair. Really really beautiful on the outside....
off to our last pre-baby wedding!!
We are so beyond thrilled to be shooting Hilary & Cody’s wedding tomorrow. Like, there’s thrilled, and then you take a dozen steps up the ladder, and then you jump REALLY high. That’s where we are. BEYOND THRILLED.
Other than being just fantastical people in general, they’re also precisely the kind of clients that we actively...
which way to the beach? — Stacey & Scott’s wedding
Stacey and Scott originally planned to get married on the beach in Mexico. When schedule conflicts and other circumstances forced a change of plans, they didn’t let it get them down. Stacey marked their places on the altar with masking tape that read, “The Beach”. She told me, “This way, when we’re saying our vows,...
McGowan Maternity Portrait Bonanza
Because I’m not a celebrity, and Mack and I haven’t had our names hyphenated together in the media (Chack? Melsea?), I know this probably hasn’t been the most photographed pregnancy of all time. But man, we have a lot of pictures!
We’ve really enjoyed documenting this time in our lives. Mack likes taking pictures of me,...
