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. It was FULL of sentimental family heirlooms, family traditions, and family history. Nothing was done for show or because they felt they had to do it because that’s […]

A Lake George Summer Engagement Session Those clients that know they want me to photograph their special day from day 1. The ones that can’t imagine anyone else capturing their special day. The ones who reach out AS SOON AS THEY GET ENGAGED. Those are my people. AKA – MacKenzie & Jordan. I’ll be honest, […]

A summer micro wedding at the North Hero House Operation “Catch up the EMP blog” continues with Amanda and Bryan! I remember this being the start of my love for micro weddings which became super popular after Covid reared it’s ugly head at the world. If you aren’t familiar, micro weddings are basically just full […]

A Glowy Summer Golf Course Wedding This is me, trying to catch up on the seemingly impossible task of catching my blog up on all of the amazing sessions and weddings I’ve had the honor of photographing over the past 3 years. The truth is, my business took off and blogging fell to the wayside. […]

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 […]

Back in November of 2016, one month after deciding I wanted to peruse photography as a career, I came across a photographer named Katelyn James and invested in my first online educational content, the KJ Consistency Course. I wish I could remember how I came to find Katelyn. I guess I didn’t pay much attention […]

Hi friends! You may have noticed a lot has changed around here since I first got started on this photography adventure and I thought it might be good to let you in on WHY! Just to give you a little back story before I go into too much depth – when I was first starting […]

An Essex, New York Engagement Session This is such an exciting blog post for me to be able to publish, I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that it’s real! Back when I was first starting my business, I wanted to do some research on the other well known photogs in the area. I […]

Brooke and I first met when we were both bridesmaids in her cousins wedding! Little did I know, I would be shooting their engagement photos about 6 years later! It’s crazy how life works sometimes 🙂 Brooke booked her engagement session with me almost a year in advance and I’m so glad she did because […]

Vesco Ridge Vineyards | West Chazy, NY I can’t believe this is my very last wedding blog post for 2018! One of the goals I had for my business this year was to book at least 5 weddings. I know that doesn’t sound like much but with a full time job, I wanted to […]

Point Au Roche State Park | Plattsburgh, NY These two, what a pair! I loved meeting up with Parker and Joshua for their engagement session. They wanted to have their engagement photos taken in the fall to capture the beautiful colors this area has to offer, and to reflect their wedding day! They will be […]

Rainbow Wedding & Banquet Hall | Altona, NY Kelsey and Michael were dream clients from the very beginning and I still wonder how I got so lucky to be their photographer. Kelsey follows along with my adventures via social media and is always commenting and giving me support and love and it just means the […]

Camp Brockway | Manlius, NY College was a pretty special time for me. It’s when I got my first official job with a schedule and a paycheck. I joined a sorority (which I NEVER thought I would do!) It was when I really started to feel independent and began learning who I wanted to become. […]

Plattsburgh City Marina Engagement Session | Plattsburgh, New York Hi friends! You may have noticed that things look pretty different around here! On top of weddings, engagement sessions, mini sessions, a full time job, and normal everyday stuff, I have also completely rebranded my business and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I […]

A Backyard Wedding | Plattsburgh, New York I’ve known Rian for about 6 years now. We met when we worked together at Touraid (our local travel agency) and I was convinced she hated me for about the first year I worked there. Bet you weren’t expecting to read that huh? 😉 I have no idea […]
