A Coastal Inspired Lake George, NY Engagement Session My favorite form of marketing is word of mouth, because it leads to clients like Mackenzie and Andrew. I’ve been doing photos for Andrews brother Eric and his wife Katelin for years, which is what brought Andrew and Mackenzie my way. We had such a great time […]

Then I had my first baby, and everything shifted… My priorities were now vastly different, the work environment was in […]

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 […]

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 […]
