A VT Wedding on the Shores of Lake Champlain Paige and Raymond’s wedding day was, in my opinion, the way every single wedding day should be treated. It was FULL of sentimental family heirlooms, family traditions, and family history. Nothing was done for show or because they felt they had to do it because that’s […]

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, […]

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 […]

An early Spring family session at Point au Roche State Park This session was so special to photograph!

We’ve worked together on weddings before so I knew firsthand […]

Another session from 2021 is on the blog! This time it’s a beautiful family session that took place in downtown Plattsburgh at the historic Kent Delord House. Fun fact about this family, they actually took our wedding photos back in the day! It’s so surreal to me that now I can bless them with memories […]

Morgan reached out to me about a family session at her parents house last October and we ended up having the most perfect and beautiful fall day! If you’re from Upstate NY, you know it’s either going to be pleasant or miserable that time of year and we lucked out! I even got to meet […]

Rachel reached out to me wanting to book a family session at the beautiful Cliff Haven beach back in August. Her and her family were vacationing there where her husband grew up, so the location was super special to them. If you haven’t noticed, I always love when my clients invite me to places that […]

Kate reached out to me back in August to see if I was available to photograph her family session. She was referred to me by my good friend and fellow photographer, Julia Rebecca who actually photographed Kate’s wedding and some other family sessions for them. Julia wasn’t available when Kate and her family were going […]

Family sessions grew on me last year, which took me completely by surprise. I referred to myself as a wedding photographer WAY more often than a family or lifestyle photographer. I didn’t do it on purpose, I just enjoyed photographing weddings more so that’s what I wanted my specialty to be. Then 2021 happened, and […]

Back in July, I received an inquiry from Maude who was reaching out wanting to capture some family memories at their summer home in Essex, NY. I don’t get many inquiries for that area so I was thrilled I was available during the timeframe they would be there. Essex is such a beautiful area and […]

I don’t think I’ve ever blogged one of my family sessions before, but that changes now! Family sessions and mini sessions are such a huge part of my business, it’s only fair they get the same amount of time and attention on my blog as my engagements and weddings! This family is so special to […]

So, you've searched high and low for someone you feel like you could connect with, someone to help you feel seen and comfortable in front of a lens, someone who delivers a high-end, classic, consistent product that will light up the faces of your grandkids when they pull out the old family photo album.
