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 […]

I’m going to start this blog post first and foremost by being 100% honest with you guys right now, followed up with a much needed apology to all of my friends who became moms before me…here goes nothing… When my friends would tell me that they were pregnant or trying to get pregnant, I would […]

A Downtown Plattsburgh Fall Engagement Session Mother Nature was not cooperating during a span of time when I had countless sessions, isn’t that how it always works? Rescheduling is a bummer…unless you happen to reschedule to the most PERFECT day which is what happened with Ashley and Travis! It wasn’t too hot, not too cold, […]

A Windy Fall Point au Roche Engagement Session The weather in Upstate NY this time of year is the definition of the phrase, “expect the unexpected”. Is it going to be snowing or 75 degrees? No one knows until day of, especially this time of year. But instead of snow, we were looking at massive […]
