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 […]

A Loved Filled Saratoga Springs June Wedding Julia and Rob’s love surrounds one thing, Jesus, and what an absolute joy and honor it was to witness them coming together to confess both their love and devotion for not only each other, but for Him as well. I feel so privileged to have been the one […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 almost didn’t create this post because last year was well…something else to say the least, hence why this is being posted in MAY instead of JANUARY; but the more time that passed, the heavier this post weighed on my mind. I couldn’t shake the thought of not having posted it, and eventually my excuses […]

I’m going to be honest here and tell you that it’s been so long since I logged onto my blog platform, I literally forgot the web address to get here hahahaha. I haven’t blogged in forever!! Honestly the motivation to do so just kind of went away with the whole pandemic thing as well as […]

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 […]

I have to say, 10/10/20 was probably the most sought after wedding date I’ve seen since starting this business. Not only did I get handfuls of inquiries for this date, but other photographers were constantly reaching out via Facebook groups to see if anyone was still available. I couldn’t believe how many weddings were going […]

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 […]

Another 2020 wedding is in the books! And I am yet again just in awe of how amazing everything was given the circumstances. Hannah and Alex decided to have a micro wedding this year and save the big party for 2021. It was so nice seeing their loved ones show up for them ready to […]
