We caught the day at it’s finest hour.  An hour before sunset.  The perfect, golden light stretched across the horizon, hiding here and there behind the trees in our park.  It’s my favorite time of day to photograph, but usually the hardest to do–as I tend to photograph people with young children. . . this […]

We wake up and it’s chilly.  I love it.  I dress the boys in long sleeve shirts and hope that it stays chilly so they can stay in their long sleeve shirts.  Remember back in March when all I did was talk about how I wanted to flowers to bloom and the sun to come […]

This is the post in which I recognize that this truly is the last week of summer for us.  We are at the point where we don’t say the two “s” words in our house–we refer to them as swear words.  If either of us say them, we cringe and clasp a hand over our […]

Okay, so I know that’s a really corny name. . . coffee, crafts and conversation.  But that’s exactly what it was.  I had a fun group of girls over the other night to hang out and do some projects.  It was just my kind of thing. . . I loved the company of such wonderful […]

Audrey was a spunky little six month old baby that I photographed right before our trip to Florida.  She was adorable and chubby and I loved her blue eyes and red hair.  She could already sit up well, which was really helpful for our session.   Check out those chunky cheeks!

The personal highlight of my trip was meeting my favorite blogger–Kelle Hampton.  I have been following Kelle’s blog since someone sent me the link to the birth story she wrote about her daughter, who has Down Syndrome, like my brother.  About a year later, she was the guest judge for a photo contest that I […]

Florida is HOT in August.  We’ve visited five out of the past six years–every time in August, and every time we go, it is nothing but 90’s all day.  I can never figure out how to dress.  I people watched a bit and noticed that many people wore the type of clothing that I think […]

Rebecca and Joe were married on a gorgeous Saturday morning in July.  Following a few days of rain, the weather cleared up for their outdoor wedding.  It was an intimate setting–brunch with family and close friends under a beautiful white tent overlooking Canandaigua Lake.   I was excited for Rebecca and Joe- they were leaving […]

 What a fun group of kids this was.  These six kids are from three different related families–they are cousins.  The oldest was thirteen and the youngest, just eight weeks.  We chose the best day of the week–it was actual on the cool side, so the sun wasn’t beating down on us the entire time. Normally, […]

Usually when we visit with family, there are an overwhelming number of images to go through after.  I would never complain about it–as these are the little snippets in time that we stole and captured through our lens in order to remember our time together.  The more, the merrier.  Truly.  But sometimes I pick out […]
