Welcome! I am a photographer in north-central Wisconsin, based in Merrill and serving the Wausau area. I specialize in high school Seniors, children, portraits, and families. For more information about my services, please visit my Home Page on the link at top or send a note in the "Contact" section. Winter, 2014
Like many of you, we are buried in snow and have experienced frigid temperatures this winter. Not totally unusual for New Hampshire, but still a LONG, dark time to avoid photography. It's hard to get models out in the cold but, after a few months of this, I was willing to get out and try my hand at shots in the snow. Winter is, actually, a BEAUTIFUL time of year and I do look forward to capturing this time and taking advantage of each of the four seasons.
We had a milder day in Jan and I was interested in trying white-on-white for a mini-shoot with my daughter. I really love how these came out! 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) She wanted to show off her ring. 6.) Christmas, 2013
Playing catch-up again! Here are my 11 children at Christmas. I love having these done every year, and I, also, enjoy the chance to practice with my flash.

Ah, a little visit to warmer weather. I, actually, took these in the fall during a warm spell. It was a perfect time to take advantage of the gorgeous wildflowers in a field nearby that was planted by the town. As you can imagine, it was quite a popular pull-over site and, of course, a lot of cameras were clicking. Luckily, there were few there at this late hour when I brought my girls over fro some fun photos and, of course, bouquets to take home! In spite of the MANY bees, the girls did a great job and I just love how the colors and light played together.

The B Family, 2013
This was my last big shoot of the fall season -- and I end with a bang! A large family with 5 boys. These are personal friends of mine, so it was extra-fun to see what we could do. The kids were so easy and cooperative and even the teens loosened up quite a bit. Dad was game for anything and that helped with ideas. I just love how it all came out -- the colors and light were just perfect. We ended with some poses with the beloved family pet who is aging and declining in health. I am so happy when I can help families preserve their special memories like that.
The P Family
It was a good challenge for me to do more family sessions -- and many of them were large. It hasn't always been my "comfort zone" but, by the end of the season, I was just loving it! This family was no exception. Very fun-loving and they had a lot of ideas for posing (always a plus!) And what great clothes coordination! Introducing the P Family . . .
The A Family
I had fun with the A family, which actually consisted of a mother and daughter and the daughter's boyfriend (also, a graduating Senior.) So, it like a few mini-sessions in one! Finding a perfect balance in a limited amount of time was a challenge, but I think it worked beautifully. Some favorites . . .
