A Lake George Summer Engagement Session Those clients that know they want me to photograph their special day from day 1. The ones that can’t imagine anyone else capturing their special day. The ones who reach out AS SOON AS THEY GET ENGAGED. Those are my people. AKA – MacKenzie & Jordan. I’ll be honest, […]

I still have so many more couples to highlight on here so we’re continuing on! Introducing Mr. + Mrs. Worthington! Venue: […]

A summer micro wedding at the North Hero House Operation “Catch up the EMP blog” continues with Amanda and Bryan! I remember this being the start of my love for micro weddings which became super popular after Covid reared it’s ugly head at the world. If you aren’t familiar, micro weddings are basically just full […]

A Glowy Summer Golf Course Wedding This is me, trying to catch up on the seemingly impossible task of catching my blog up on all of the amazing sessions and weddings I’ve had the honor of photographing over the past 3 years. The truth is, my business took off and blogging fell to the wayside. […]

An extended celebration on the shores of Lake Champlain What’s better than photographing a beautiful couple once? Getting to do it twice 😉 Claire and Matt were one of my “Covid Couples” meaning, they still went ahead with their planned celebration (just on a smaller scale) and held off on their larger celebration until a […]

This engagement session was actually split in two parts no thanks to Mother Nature! I showed up on our originally planned day with the hopes that the weatherman was right and the rain would slow to a halt. Spoiler alert, that didn’t happen and it actually just started raining harder…so fun. NOT! I felt terrible, […]

This was a slightly different engagement session for me because I got to do a little bit of traveling for it! My rule of thumb is no more than 60 miles outside of my zip code for engagement sessions, but I had to make an exception for this session because I had been dying to […]

These two…give me aaaallllll the heart eye emoji’s for this session!!! I loved every minute of my time with Morgan and Tyler for their engagement session. These two were giving off such a romantic country vibe and the beautiful surroundings of Lake Placid definitely showed up for them! Morgan and Tyler met in middle school […]

I met up with Charlee and Jake on the most beautiful fall day last year at our local State Park and we had a blast exploring and taking romantic engagement photos! These two were so much fun to hang out with, we even made time for a little rock skipping! Although I think Jake had […]

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. I sometimes catch myself taking for granted the absolute beauty we get to live among on a day to day basis. People literally vacation in this region for the views, […]

Janna and Eric brought the sunshine with them for their engagement session and I was living for it. We ended up meeting at Point au Roche on what turned out to be a very cloudy and overcast day, but it didn’t matter. With Janna’s beautiful citrus dress and Eric’s oatmeal suit, I was in photographer […]

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 […]

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 […]
