Each year one of my favorite DPP pictures is of my book club because my book club is my favorite. This year has been…you know…different. When the pandemic began we tried Zoom for a couple of months and then all summer and into the fall we found a lovely outside spot. Now it’s cold again […]
This family has my heart. We were able to squeeze in a quick shoot in the very last hour of the last day of the beautiful weather we’ve been having. I didn’t take any other photos this day, so this outtake will have to do. (I hope to do a post after Christmas of my […]
One of our very favorite parts of every week is an outdoor adventure with this crew. This week we discovered the Frank Shoemaker Marsh north of Lincoln (out 27th Street to Bluff Road), and it was a great find. Ian was skeptical: within the first five minutes, he asked, “If this isn’t fun can we […]

Maybe I feel this every year, but this morning’s felt especially sweet. By the time the service started, I had already teared up a […]
So, yeah, it didn’t stay this quiet. At all. 😝 (I’m fine with that.)
I take photos of my three kids almost every day and of other people (and places and things) when I get a chance. I love to travel.
