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 […]

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 […]

Morgan reached out to me about a family session at her parents house last October and we ended up having the most perfect and beautiful fall day! If you’re from Upstate NY, you know it’s either going to be pleasant or miserable that time of year and we lucked out! I even got to meet […]

This was such a fun session for me to capture. This family hadn’t had professional images taken in 18 years!! Can you believe that?! Sometimes life just gets in the way and things such as setting up portrait sessions has to take a back seat. I’m SO happy and honored that I got to be […]

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 […]

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 […]

Kate reached out to me back in August to see if I was available to photograph her family session. She was referred to me by my good friend and fellow photographer, Julia Rebecca who actually photographed Kate’s wedding and some other family sessions for them. Julia wasn’t available when Kate and her family were going […]

Family sessions grew on me last year, which took me completely by surprise. I referred to myself as a wedding photographer WAY more often than a family or lifestyle photographer. I didn’t do it on purpose, I just enjoyed photographing weddings more so that’s what I wanted my specialty to be. Then 2021 happened, and […]

Back in July, I received an inquiry from Maude who was reaching out wanting to capture some family memories at their summer home in Essex, NY. I don’t get many inquiries for that area so I was thrilled I was available during the timeframe they would be there. Essex is such a beautiful area and […]

I don’t think I’ve ever blogged one of my family sessions before, but that changes now! Family sessions and mini sessions are such a huge part of my business, it’s only fair they get the same amount of time and attention on my blog as my engagements and weddings! This family is so special to […]

Lifestyle sessions are something that I wanted to start doing when I realized I didn’t want my job to stop when the weather got cold. I knew I didn’t want to do studio work, therefore I had no interest in ever investing in a studio space. My husband and I threw around the idea of […]
