A small, intimate group

of 15!

I was recently blessed to be able to photograph one of the most beautiful families I have ever known or met. The legacy of love and faith the parents have passed on to their children and grandchildren is such a joy to behold. They are tons of fun to be around, as well! Thank you, Family M!







Hey, who won the annual family Thanksgiving football game?

An extraordinary family...

...an extraordinary story!

Adoption touches lives in such a beautiful way, including the life of my own family. I was blessed to be able to photograph these handsome young men, born in Russia and adopted by loving parents here. Have I mentioned that I love the families I work with?

I'm having so much fun!

And I'm loving the people I've gotten to work with this year! But....one photographer can only do so much. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am now booked through the end of this year. Call or e-mail me to get your appointment scheduled for the early months of 2007. You can take advantage of my current pricing structure by booking your session before December 15. Sessions booked after that date will be subject to my new prices.

I'm excited to be getting closer to launching my website. And you thought it would never happen. Watch here for details!

Just one of my favorite images of 2006, the adorable and charming "Miss S!"

A fun guy, and a great compliment!

I recently had the privilege of photographing Layne, a good friend of my son. Gifted in both art and music, I think he enjoyed the whole experience. Later, he told my son that he thought I was "pretty cool," and that I was "half-artsy, half-mom!" Thanks, Layne ~ I think you're cool, too!

Inspiration by the Bucketful!

Take 35 talented photographers, full of passion for their art, full of unique and wonderful approaches to working out their own vision - even if it be of the same subject. Now imagine these photographers in a vibrant city, which happens to be concurrently hosting a marathon with 40,000 runners - Chicago! Give them the opportunity to photograph children who are used to being in front of the camera, yes, even Ford models. Now imagine, if you will, the opportunity for these 35 to be instructed and inspired by one of the premiere child photographers in the world...Audrey Woulard. I was privileged to be one of these photographers, and I have come back with loads of inspiration, many new friends, and more than a few pictures I'd like to share:
