Sunday with the Hobbs Family

Formal family portrait shoots, where everyone is coordinated in white or black shirts, powdered and primped, admittedly, don't interest me. But, ask me to come and have blueberry pancakes, hang out and color, take a walk and photograph the nuances of a family Sunday, that is a complete joy! The photographs that result act as a little time capsule, a way to preserve snippets of everyday life that don't linger long.









"Family is a miracle on earth. It's a gift to have this group of people you can be completely yourself with – that get excited with you, that cry with you...it's just a gift." – M. Hobbs

Many thanks to the Hobbs Family for inviting me to spend the most delightful and mild winter day in thier sunny abode.

The Pinehurst Inn

This summer, I traveled to Bayfield, Wisconsin, a sweet town on the southern shore of Lake Superior – the gateway to the Apostle Islands, to produce a StoryPortrait for an amazing Bed & Breakfast run by Nancy and Steve Sandstrom.

Nancy and Steve are a dynamic couple, juggling fruit salads and french toast, with deeper missions and goals. A main priority for them is offering a setting where people can relax. What a concept! It's bigger than you think. They realize the importance of relaxing; taking the time to reconnect with oneself, each other, and taking the time to listen, to breathe, to come to life again. Another mission is an environmental/ sustainability mission; living on this earth as lightly as possible.

Please take time to learn about the Pinehurst Inn and Nancy and Steve in their following StoryPortrait's!

The Country Roads of Eldon Edgar Moore

We share our personal stories and words of wisdom to remember and explain our own lives and possibly inspire the lives of others. Some of Eldon's stories of farm life and football, work and love are now documented for relatives, friends and future generations.

I'd like to share a short 10 minute edit of the multimedia piece. The images were captured in the Flint Hills in Council Grove, Kansas. The interview was recorded early in July.



"Celebrate today!"

Schwerin StoryPortrait

Here is a clip (about 13 minutes actually) of the Schwerin StoryPortrait. Every time I watch it, I'm reminded of what love is and can be. I'm honored that Michael and Darcy shared their story with me and decided to preserve it in such a unique way for their first son, Aidyn. Enjoy!
