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.

One thing you should know about me if you’re considering hiring me as your wedding photographer is, I don’t particularly enjoy Pinterest shot lists. What do I mean by that?

Lesson #1 to any new photographers out there…ALWAYS show up to wedding days EARLY! My rule of thumb is to arrive no less than 30 minutes early to each wedding to account for traffic, weather, location scouting, direction mishaps, etc. This was one of those wedding days I’m so glad I set this rule for […]

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. […]

A Quaint and Romantic Adirondack Wedding This wedding was a unique one for me because I was only there for 2 hours instead of my normal 8! I don’t normally offer shortened wedding day timelines but I made an exception for this one and I’m so glad I did! Audrey and Andrew’s special day was […]
