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 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 […]

I wasn’t ready…but my future was.

A Humid June Boathouse Wedding I have a few Friday and Sunday weddings this year which I am so excited about. I love when my couples decide to switch it up and celebrate their day on a “nontraditional” weekday. However, I’m so incredibly thankful Ashley and Brandon decided on a Saturday. Unbeknownst to them when […]

A Picture Perfect June Wedding Day The feelings surrounding the first wedding of the season are hard to describe. Excitement Anxious Joyful Nervous It’s somehow all bottled up into one whole emotion I now know to expect come every season.

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 […]

I was nervous because I […]

Camp Brockway | Manlius, NY College was a pretty special time for me. It’s when I got my first official job with a schedule and a paycheck. I joined a sorority (which I NEVER thought I would do!) It was when I really started to feel independent and began learning who I wanted to become. […]
