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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
