A VT Wedding on the Shores of Lake Champlain Paige and Raymond’s wedding day was, in my opinion, the way every single wedding day should be treated.

An extended celebration on the shores of Lake Champlain What’s better than photographing a beautiful couple once? Getting to do it twice 😉 Claire and Matt were one of my “Covid Couples” meaning, they still went ahead with their planned celebration (just on a smaller scale) and held off on their larger celebration until a […]

A Summer Point au Roche Engagement Session I knew this was going to be a magical engagement session when I was location scouting just before Katelin and Eric showed up.

An Apple Blossom Engagement Session This was my first session after giving birth to Grace. Even though she was due on the 15th, she decided to wait it out a bit and didn’t make her debut until the early hours of the 21st. This meant that I would be photographing Olivia and Scott’s engagement […]
