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.

This wedding day filled my heart and soul with so much joy, it’s hard to put into words just how much being a part of it all meant to me. Not only did I get to witness my childhood friend marry the love of his life, but I feel like I gained so many more […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ilana and Scott made my engagement session dreams come true a few weeks ago! You see, I live pretty close to the SUNY Plattsburgh campus, and maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me, but whenever I would drive by, I couldn’t help but think how absolutely adorable it would be to photograph an engagement session […]

I couldn’t shake the thought of not having posted it, and eventually my excuses […]

If I gave out awards for the couple who had the most fun at their engagement session, these two would top the charts. They spent 90% of their time laughing and giggling together, at each other, at my silly photo requests, Kasey falling…twice! It was just such a FUN session! It feels weird titling this […]

I don’t travel for weddings often, but when I do, it’s always worth it, and for the best couples! Greg and Daina had their perfect intimate ceremony on the shores of the Ashokan Reservoir about three and a half hours south of home for me. I will admit, now that I have a daughter, traveling […]

And the award for my most laid back couple of 2020 goes to……LAUREN & JUSTIN!!!! I say this out of total love and they know it, but guys I can’t get over how easy going these two are, seriously! If I could bottle up their energy and personalities and sell it, this world would be […]
