An In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session | Chazy, NY This was such a fun session for me. Not just because I got to pet a dog or obsess over the cutest little newborn baby, but because this mom and dad kind of feel like extended family in a way. Baby Noah’s mom is the sister of […]

Sounds dramatic, but there’s few things I find more magical than watching my couples grow their families and […]

This wedding day filled my heart and soul with so much joy, it’s hard to put into words just how much being a part of it all meant to me. Not only did I get to witness my childhood friend marry the love of his life, but I feel like I gained so many more […]

This was a slightly different engagement session for me because I got to do a little bit of traveling for it! My rule of thumb is no more than 60 miles outside of my zip code for engagement sessions, but I had to make an exception for this session because I had been dying to […]

This was such a fun session for me to capture. This family hadn’t had professional images taken in 18 years!! Can you believe that?! Sometimes life just gets in the way and things such as setting up portrait sessions has to take a back seat. I’m SO happy and honored that I got to be […]

These two…give me aaaallllll the heart eye emoji’s for this session!!! I loved every minute of my time with Morgan and Tyler for their engagement session.

Rachel reached out to me wanting to book a family session at the beautiful Cliff Haven beach back in August. Her and her family were vacationing there where her husband grew up, so the location was super special to them. If you haven’t noticed, I always love when my clients invite me to places that […]

Lesson #1 to any new photographers out there…ALWAYS show up to wedding days EARLY! My rule of thumb is to arrive no less than 30 minutes early to each wedding to account for traffic, weather, location scouting, direction mishaps, etc. This was one of those wedding days I’m so glad I set this rule for […]

I don’t have the words to express how much I love this family! There’s no greater compliment to a photographer than repeat clients and this is one of those clients! I hate even using the word “clients” because it seems to formal and while I strive to be professional, I do like to keep things […]
