I was really excited to be doing this shoot.  Jordan’s sister was married this past summer, and I shot her wedding.  So, I am welcomed into the family once again–thankfully, they must have liked the way we captured Andrea’s day, and will be happy to have us shoot Jordan and Joellen’s wedding next summer.  Hence, the […]

My favorite part about Becky and Matt’s wedding was their wedding party.  It was huge. . . and they were all hilarious.  The reception was a blast too. . . I love the nights when everyone is on the dance floor, getting into the spirit and helping to make a wonderful evening for the newly […]

Has Anyone Seen My Wand: Part II

What feels like forever ago, I posted this.  If you have a second, you should totally go back and read it. Here we are–months later, still working on the kitchen. BUT, I am happy to say that I actually feel like we are nearing the last twenty percent of the work.  Many small things remain (and […]

Embracing Me

Sometimes my posts are so surfacey.  This is what we did today.  Here are my boys.  This is what they have been doing.  I do bring up struggles occasionally.  Some thoughts here and there that give you a little glimpse into my head.     Rarely do I ever talk about me.   I admit […]

Last week, our good friends asked me to photograph a really special event.  As a celebration of being Ordained, family members came . . . all from out of town, to be there for Eric as he took this huge step of faith.  Eric has five siblings–so it’s rare to have them all in the […]

This week’s theme […]

The Post in Which My Husband Might Kill Me

Before my husband kills me, let me show you a rare moment.  Both boys, keeping their personal space.  While I captured this moment (surprisingly), I will let you know that pictures number three through ten that I took of this sweet moment were of Carter devilishly army-crawling in a bee line straight towards Brayden’s book, […]

Bethany Chase | Victor, NY Family Photographer

I traveled to Victor to do this family’s session.  Their street was gorgeous. . . we were able to use their house and their neighbors homes to do our shoot.  The whole street was a park-like setting. . . unbelievably landscaped.   And three adorable girls decked out in their Uggs?  What more could you […]

Brianne and Tyler braved the season’s first snowfall (it only snowed for five minutes, but it was still snow!) to come out for their family session.  Their mom wanted a place with a lot of fun colors and textures.  And I think we found a perfect spot–and definitely one I would return to again. It’s […]
