A backyard family session | Albany, NY This was an incredibly sweet session and one I was so fortunate to capture. Joie and I have known each other since our college days, which now that I think about it, our friendship started around 14 years ago!! To know Joie is to love her, she was […]

A Summer Family Session | Lake Placid, NY Where do I even begin with this session? It had everything I dream about when it comes to photographing families. Perfect weather. Perfect outfits. Perfect location. Perfect personalities. It had it all so it’s no surprise to read that I had such a fun time capturing these […]

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 […]

A hot summer family session | Point au Roche State Park I always find it so exciting when people from out of town find me and book a family session or wedding with me. It makes me feel like maybe I’m doing my SEO or social media right when it comes to marketing haha any […]

A Neutral Baby Boy Newborn Session When Bodhi’s mom Katelin, a past bride of mine, reached out wanting to know if I would be interested in doing an in-home newborn session for them, I quite literally squealed. Sounds dramatic, but there’s few things I find more magical than watching my couples grow their families and […]

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 […]

You know when you meet a genuine sweet soul and you just think to yourself, “wow, if everyone were more like this, the world would be such a better place…” well that’s how I felt when I first met Cammey. To know her is to love her. She is honestly one of the sweetest humans […]

How did I get so lucky? I will never stop asking myself this question as long as I keep having clients like Ashley and Travis. The kind of clients that not only trust you and your vision, but who sing your praises every chance they get. The kind of clients who look to you for […]

This wedding was one for the books, hands down. Nothing about this day was expected, which made it all that much better. Gorgeous mountain views? Check. Surprise ceremony? Check. Top notch hair and makeup done in the woods? Check. Champagne toasts and first dance as husband and wife in the middle of a field? Check. […]

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what 2020 weddings were going to look like after the shut down, then the slow re-opening and allowing of small gatherings, then the mask mandate. I didn’t have high hopes simply because this is all new to everyone but really, these weddings are no different than elopements and elopements […]

I’ve never had such a hard time choosing photos for a blog post. Usually when I’m photographing an engagement session or wedding, I’m making mental notes and remembering my favorites that I know for sure I will want to include in a blog post. Katelin and Eric’s wedding day was no different in that […]

Oh you guys, where do I even start with this wedding?! I have so many words and felt so many emotions throughout the day! Haley & Brett are another one of my sweet couples that unfortunately had to change their wedding plans due to COVID-19. Instead of their 100+ celebration, they opted for a quant […]

My very first 2020 wedding looked a little different then we all originally thought it would look, but that didn’t make it any less beautiful and fun. Honestly, give me allll the small, intimate weddings!! I loved everything about Nicole and Landon’s special day. It obviously had to be on a much smaller scale than […]

A Quaint and Romantic Adirondack Wedding This wedding was a unique one for me because I was only there for 2 hours instead of my normal 8! I don’t normally offer shortened wedding day timelines but I made an exception for this one and I’m so glad I did! Audrey and Andrew’s special day was […]

A Romantic Barn Wedding | Castleton-on-Hudson For their engagement session, they drove to me. It was a very overcast and rainy day, the trees were still naked without a leaf in sight, and I was VERY pregnant and in a lot of pain…I seemed to have everything working against me. I was nervous because I […]
