No matter what the season, Wilmette's Botanical Gardens are beautiful. And my favorite things to watch grow there? Zachary, Alex and Julia, of course!

On the Detroit River with Bayview Yacht Club Sailing Center

Wow! What a gorgeous day. The Bayview Yacht Club Sailing Center allowed me to spend a morning photographing Michael's sailing class for his family's book project. I had such a great day on the water! Thanks to all the folks at Bayview!

Boomers - The Movie!

Check out this fab new offering from Spinning Yarns Press!

Chicago was lots of fun. Met lots of nice people and photographed several nice families and some adorable ballerinas for a costume manufacturer. I love little girls. Having no daughter of my own, I take great joy in photographing girls in girly clothes. The little ballerina was a delight!

Lots of news! First off, Spinning Yarns Press is coming to Chicago! Julia DeVos Ford, longtime good friend and designer extraordinaire, is heading up the Chicago office of Spinning Yarns Press. There will be lots more book projects at the Botanical Gardens, The Lincoln Park Zoo, the shores of Lake Michigan and Navy Pier so stay tuned for pictures. I can't wait. An excuse to visit my old hometown a whole lot more!
First trip is next week. First a shoot at the Conservatory within the lovely Botanical Gardens on Chicago's North Shore. Then Scones & Java at Julia's house Wednesday morning, Feb 4 from 9:30 to 11 for a chance to view books in person if you've never seen them before. Email if you need an invite. Hope to see you, Chicago!
