At our studio, kids can be kids.

Things can get crazy.

We're allowed to get caught up in the chaos for a few minutes. It's perfectly fine—and even fun.

Because while they're having fun, they show me their joy-filled faces, those real expressions, those little moments that happen when they’re being themselves.

Earlier this month I got to have dinner with old friends from my college a cappella group. It was a welcome breath of fresh air.

Three of us who live here in Seattle welcomed our friend Joel, who flew in from California - I hadn’t seen him since the '90s.

Good planning doesn’t slow things down; it makes everything that comes afterward easier.

I like my car, even though it’s old. Actually, I like it because it’s old.

When I was a student at Northwestern University, I set out to photograph people holding a rubber chicken. It was fun and funny - but also meaningful because people come out of their shell when you put them in odd situations!

Three decades, one grateful heart. It all began in 1996.
