• Cole The Camera Clown

    Cole is a funny kid. Not in a “we need a therapist” kind of way, just plain old-fashioned funny. If there is a moment otherwise devoid of color, he will paint it gloriously with something funny. Sometimes there is no purposeful intention, it’s just his four-year-old mind making sense...
  • How You Can Get More Productive Working From Home

    Early in 2020, the USA was locked down and quarantined. Two weeks to flatten the curve, they said, and I really wanted to believe that. Had I not been so naive, I could have made a fortune investing in services like zoom and other video conferencing software. The business...
  • Hiking With Supermodels

    I suppose I don’t have to look far beyond myself and Ana to find their motivation. I’m a photographer and Ana is a model. Children learn best by example, whether good or not, and that mirror has smacked me in the face more than once, I regret to admit....
  • Saving Souls

    A child’s mind, unfettered by the more cerebral and dignified stuff grown-ups invest their short lives in, such as politics and the lunacy of network news, is a world of boundless imagination. In the span of an afternoon, my very own eyes have witnessed the metamorphosis of an otherwise...
  • Emma’s Fourth Birthday Party!

    Kids know how to have a good time, and there is nothing like a birthday party furnished with sugar, and the promise of new toys to experience the full height and intensity of that glee. My job is to snap a few photos and otherwise let the shenanigans wash...
  • We Had An Epic Battle

    The same scene plays out every morning between 5:30 and 6:00. Jesse calls out for mommy or daddy, and we draw straws to see who gets to fetch him. Soon he is nestling into a sliver of space between Ana and me in our bed and ordering up whatever...
  • This Isn’t Easy

    A few days ago Ana posted a picture on Facebook of Jesse along with two little girls that have come to live with us, sitting together on our sofa. We now have three kids under three years old lighting up our lives each day. The comments on that post...
