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 […]

A sunny downtown Plattsburgh engagement session Maddie and Alfred are the epitome of cute. It didn’t take an entire engagement session to see how in love these two are, try like the first 2 minutes. Love like these two have made their session flow so easily and before I knew it, almost two hours had […]

An early June Point au Roche engagement session This was my first session after having baby Caroline and it was with the absolute sweetest couple! Emily actually told me that she saw me in the hospital after I gave birth and I quickly apologized for my postpartum fog in not remembering her and my exhausted […]

I’ll be honest, I get a little nervous about how many images I’ll be able to deliver for an engagement session when the couple tells me they only want to wear one outfit. Different outfits give the final gallery more variety, that’s just facts…unless you’re Charlotte and Evan apparently! They ended up with over 150 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
