The Leica M2 is a very special camera to me because when we started our journey of starting a family, I made the conscious decision to use solely the Leica M2 to document the whole way.

A Beautiful Evening on Film
I often share here photos I have taken on a day that a cold front is passing through. Cold weather just puts me in a good mood and in turn helps me to create. Every year I look forward to the last days and first days of the year when we will get a break… Continue reading A Beautiful Evening on Film
One Camera One Month: 6 Months In
2025 started out rough for me. I have been in the middle of a full blown flare-up with my Crohn's disease, so everything in my life has been turned upside down. One thing I didn't want to have to worry about was losing my love for taking photos in the midst of all the craziness.… Continue reading One Camera One Month: 6 Months In
The Leica IIIF – Worth the Frustration?
Now I hate to start a review off with negativity about a camera, but the Leica IIIF is probably one of the most frustrating cameras I have ever used!

Loss and Reflection – January 2025
The New Year, for most, is a time for renewal and second chances - wiping slates clean and starting over. People start with resolutions and a positive outlook that they’ve essentially been given permission to do what they could really do at any point in the year, write a new chapter in their life. 2024… Continue reading Loss and Reflection – January 2025
The Night Our Baby Came – On Film
I wrote this article in real time in 2022 to document my experience of becoming a first time mom through film and writing, but so many things happened that I never ended up actually sharing them.

A New Everyday
One of the hardest parts about getting used to my new reality has been not being able to play with my daughter. If you need to catch up, here is my last article to give some context. I’m a stay at home mom so my instinct is to be not only motherly, obviously, but to… Continue reading A New Everyday
