A backyard family session | Albany, NY This was an incredibly sweet session and one I was so fortunate to capture. Joie and I have known each other since our college days, which now that I think about it, our friendship started around 14 years ago!! To know Joie is to love her, she was […]

A Summer Family Session | Lake Placid, NY Where do I even begin with this session? It had everything I dream about when it comes to photographing families. Perfect weather. Perfect outfits. Perfect location. Perfect personalities. It had it all so it’s no surprise to read that I had such a fun time capturing these […]

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 hot summer family session | Point au Roche State Park I always find it so exciting when people from out of town find me and book a family session or wedding with me. It makes me feel like maybe I’m doing my SEO or social media right when it comes to marketing haha any […]

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. Sounds dramatic, but there’s few things I find more magical than watching my couples grow their families and […]

I’m so excited that this gorgeous wedding is FINALLY on the blog!! This day was amazing and one for the books for sure. I also don’t think I’ve ever been so sad to leave a wedding day knowing my time with the couple is officially over! By the end of the night, I felt like […]

This wedding day filled my heart and soul with so much joy, it’s hard to put into words just how much being a part of it all meant to me. Not only did I get to witness my childhood friend marry the love of his life, but I feel like I gained so many more […]

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? Well chances are, you’ve seen some gorgeous wedding photos on Pinterest that you want to recreate in your own wedding images. What starts as a […]

This couple, I have no words but I will do my best to express just how much being a part of their day meant to me. It started when I showed up to the most gorgeous house I’ve ever been inside. This is where Emily and her girls were getting ready. Shortly after I greeted […]

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 […]

Another beautiful Micro-Wedding is in the books! Brianne and Nathanial were married at the gorgeous Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid, NY surrounded by their closest family and friends (and me! 🙂 ) I showed up to Brianne’s getting ready space the morning of the wedding to be greeted with smiles, excitement, and 100% creative […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m loving these elopement / micro weddings! They are so intimate and less about the showy stuff, more about the family bonds and I am here for it! One of the things I loved about my own wedding was the size. I knew pretty much everyone […]

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 […]

This is it, my last wedding of 2020! I’m sad I won’t get to photograph another wedding for a while, but honestly not sad to see the season end. Does that make sense? It was the year for many firsts for my business, not all good either. But it was also the year that I […]

I have to say, 10/10/20 was probably the most sought after wedding date I’ve seen since starting this business. Not only did I get handfuls of inquiries for this date, but other photographers were constantly reaching out via Facebook groups to see if anyone was still available. I couldn’t believe how many weddings were going […]
