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 Lake Champlain Wedding Celebration at the Historic Valcour Inn & Boathouse How fun it’s been to revisit all of these amazing celebrations and couples I’ve had the privilege of photographing over the years. I still have so many more couples to highlight on here so we’re continuing on! Introducing Mr. + Mrs. Worthington! Venue: […]

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 […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m loving these elopement / micro weddings! They are so intimate and less about the showy stuff, more about the family bonds and I am here for it! One of the things I loved about my own wedding was the size. I knew pretty much everyone […]

Shannon and Ryan are one of my sweet 2021 couples that decided to do a small intimate celebration first, and hold off on having their big celebration for 2022. I’m crossing my fingers so hard that they will still be able to stick with their original plan but if nothing else, they had a beautiful […]

Family sessions grew on me last year, which took me completely by surprise. I referred to myself as a wedding photographer WAY more often than a family or lifestyle photographer. I didn’t do it on purpose, I just enjoyed photographing weddings more so that’s what I wanted my specialty to be. Then 2021 happened, and […]

Back in July, I received an inquiry from Maude who was reaching out wanting to capture some family memories at their summer home in Essex, NY. I don’t get many inquiries for that area so I was thrilled I was available during the timeframe they would be there. Essex is such a beautiful area and […]

I don’t think I’ve ever blogged one of my family sessions before, but that changes now! Family sessions and mini sessions are such a huge part of my business, it’s only fair they get the same amount of time and attention on my blog as my engagements and weddings! This family is so special to […]

Back in July, I met up with Maggie and Jeff in the beautiful Lake Placid region which is about an hours drive away from Plattsburgh. I sometimes catch myself taking for granted the absolute beauty we get to live among on a day to day basis. People literally vacation in this region for the views, […]

Janna and Eric brought the sunshine with them for their engagement session and I was living for it. We ended up meeting at Point au Roche on what turned out to be a very cloudy and overcast day, but it didn’t matter. With Janna’s beautiful citrus dress and Eric’s oatmeal suit, I was in photographer […]

Lifestyle sessions are something that I wanted to start doing when I realized I didn’t want my job to stop when the weather got cold. I knew I didn’t want to do studio work, therefore I had no interest in ever investing in a studio space. My husband and I threw around the idea of […]

Planning a wedding can be downright DAUNTING. I know, I’ve been there. Just when you think you have everything planned and under control, something comes along and knocks one thing out of place which tends to have a ripple effect. If you’ve been following me for a while (first of all THANK YOU!), you know […]

Where do I even begin this blog post?! Madison and Ethan were my first official wedding for 2021, and it didn’t disappoint! Everything from her dress, to the tuxes, to the florals, to the venue, to the dancing, all of it was just perfect! I had been looking forward to this day ever since I […]
