A Wildflower Wedding in the Green Mountains of Vermont I knew when I first stepped onto the venue property for the welcome party the night before, that this wedding day was going to be beautiful. The Barn at Smuggler’s Notch sits on an open field surrounded by wildflowers, with the most spectacular mountain views. It […]

A Neutral Summer Lifestyle Newborn Session What a joy and honor it is to see my couples from engaged season all the way through to parenthood. It truly is a magical thing. I didn’t have dry eyes for the first half hour of this session because I was just so overcome with pure happiness for […]

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 […]

I had done it. I landed my “dream desk job”. I thought it paid well. I started with 4 weeks of vacation time. Paid holidays. Fun atmosphere. Room for growth. I had hit the jackpot. Then I had my first baby, and everything shifted… My priorities were now vastly different, the work environment was in […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m loving these elopement / micro weddings! They are so intimate and less about the showy stuff, more about the family bonds and I am here for it! One of the things I loved about my own wedding was the size. I knew pretty much everyone […]

Shannon and Ryan are one of my sweet 2021 couples that decided to do a small intimate celebration first, and hold off on having their big celebration for 2022. I’m crossing my fingers so hard that they will still be able to stick with their original plan but if nothing else, they had a beautiful […]

Back in July, I met up with Maggie and Jeff in the beautiful Lake Placid region which is about an hours drive away from Plattsburgh. I sometimes catch myself taking for granted the absolute beauty we get to live among on a day to day basis. People literally vacation in this region for the views, […]

Janna and Eric brought the sunshine with them for their engagement session and I was living for it. We ended up meeting at Point au Roche on what turned out to be a very cloudy and overcast day, but it didn’t matter. With Janna’s beautiful citrus dress and Eric’s oatmeal suit, I was in photographer […]

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 […]

I love getting the chance to photograph people I already know. It’s such a gift for me to be able to give my talent to friends and have it bring them joy. That kind of giving then brings me so much joy, it’s seriously something I’ll never get over! I’ve known Tyler since high school, […]

Whenever I’m able to meet up with a couple in a new location, especially one that holds special meaning to them, my photographer heart is just so happy! Don’t get me wrong, I have my own list of go to spots that I love for sessions, but believe me when I say, couples who are […]

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. […]
