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 […]

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 […]

Where do I even begin this blog post?! Madison and Ethan were my first official wedding for 2021, and it didn’t disappoint! Everything from her dress, to the tuxes, to the florals, to the venue, to the dancing, all of it was just perfect! I had been looking forward to this day ever since I […]

This is it, my last wedding of 2020! I’m sad I won’t get to photograph another wedding for a while, but honestly not sad to see the season end. Does that make sense? It was the year for many firsts for my business, not all good either. But it was also the year that I […]

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. […]

A Smoke Signals Wedding in Lake Placid, New York Sometimes I think that educating my brides on the best photography friendly timeline is the best thing, what could go wrong right? Well nothing actually, unless you’re like me, or Jesse-May, and like to stick by timelines and get stressed out if things run late. This […]

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 […]
