I have been dying to go to Ikea for the past six years.  The only problem is that there isn’t one around here any closer than about 300 miles.  So when I crossed my fingers, looked on the Ikea website and realized that there was one about twenty minutes from our hotel in Philadelphia, I […]

Emily and Will are now six months!  We are doing a baby’s first year package with them, so I will get to see them two more times.  It’s been so fun watching them go from teeny tiny premies, to strong three month olds to cute little six month chunkers.   At our last session, Will was […]

Our trip to Philly was amazing.  We visited three main places: Sesame Place, The Crayola Factory and the Please Touch Museum.  They were all really great in their own ways–and the boys loved everything.  I’m sure Brayden will be talking about the trip for years to come, with the great memory that he has and […]

I photographed the Ives family on a terribly hot morning–during our little heat wave a couple of weeks ago.  The sun beat down on us, even at ten a.m.  Luckily, they are from Oklahoma, so it didn’t really phase them!   We had a laid back photo shoot, mostly just hanging out and interacting between […]

I realize that lately I have been putting an obnoxious number of images on each of my wedding and family session posts.  I guess that’s a good thing though–while a couple years ago when I was first starting out, I struggled to find images that I truly adored–lately, I am having a hard time narrowing […]

Summer mini-sessions are coming up in August!  These are perfect for those of you who would like just a couple of updated images of your family or children.  Also, if you are interested in doing senior portraits, but don’t want to book a full session.  Email me if you would like to book a slot! 

We just bought this fabulous double jogging stroller a couple weeks back at a garage sale.  While Brayden is getting a little on the big side to ride in a stroller, we took the plunge anyways.  We’ve used it a lot already and are lugging it with us this weekend on a mini-vacation with my […]

You know the old saying, Rain, Rain, Go Away. . . Come again another day?  I think it’s safe to say that all of us around here are chanting the opposite.  Most people around here now have straw for grass and our yards are a sickly yellowy brown.  Keeping my new landscaping alive has become […]

On July 3rd, James and I photographed a beautiful wedding at Ventosa Vineyards on Seneca Lake, one of the New York’s Finger Lakes.  The day was gorgeous, blue skies all around.  The bride was stunning and the groom was so in love.  Joy and happiness flowed and wound it’s blissful web around everyone who came […]

James took the boys into the woods the other day.  They hiked, collected sticks, built a fort with our fort kit and did other things that boys like to do.  He said the time flew by and that he’d have to bring me next time since they had such a good time.   I was happy […]
