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, […]

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 […]

Well chances are, you’ve seen some gorgeous wedding photos on Pinterest that you want to recreate in your own wedding images. What starts as a […]

This couple, I have no words but I will do my best to express just how much being a part of their day meant to me. It started when I showed up to the most gorgeous house I’ve ever been inside. This is where Emily and her girls were getting ready. Shortly after I greeted […]

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 […]
