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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what 2020 weddings were going to look like after the shut down, then the slow re-opening and allowing of small gatherings, then the mask mandate. I didn’t have high hopes simply because this is all new to everyone but really, these weddings are no different than elopements and elopements […]

I’ve never had such a hard time choosing photos for a blog post. Usually when I’m photographing an engagement session or wedding, I’m making mental notes and remembering my favorites that I know for sure I will want to include in a blog post. Katelin and Eric’s wedding day was no different in that […]

Oh you guys, where do I even start with this wedding?! I have so many words and felt so many emotions throughout the day! Haley & Brett are another one of my sweet couples that unfortunately had to change their wedding plans due to COVID-19. Instead of their 100+ celebration, they opted for a quant […]

Want to know one of the many things that makes this job so rewarding? The fact that the couples that find me are just as excited to work with me, as I am to work with them. There’s nothing I can say that would adequately explain just how much that truly means to me. It’s […]

My very first 2020 wedding looked a little different then we all originally thought it would look, but that didn’t make it any less beautiful and fun. Honestly, give me allll the small, intimate weddings!! I loved everything about Nicole and Landon’s special day. It obviously had to be on a much smaller scale than […]
