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 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.

It feels so strange to be blogging sessions that happened literally last year…but it feels more strange to not do it at all. Couples like Jackie and Ted deserve their space on the blog! Which is why I have been dedicating this off season to catching up and doing just that, making time to blog […]

Back in July, I met up with Maggie and Jeff in the beautiful Lake Placid region which is about an hours drive away from Plattsburgh.

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 […]
