I met the Powers family during one of my holiday mini-session days.  They brought their three sweet girls for some Christmas pictures.   Their middle girl, in the red dress, has autism.  I enjoyed photographing her, because it was all about trying to capture her as the session unfolded.  We handed her a couple of […]

This family did their mini-session with me at a very chaotic time.  We had just “moved” the day before–meaning, we were living completely out of boxes.  But I had already scheduled two sessions for that day before we even knew we were moving.  So what was another mini, right?  I was thankful that Jeniliee and […]

James and I had a wedding on Saturday.  The last wedding of the 2011 season.  If you have been up to date with my blog, you will know from some of my posts last week that I really have been amazed at the lack of snow.  Not saddened about it at all. . . just […]

Another family session when it was amazing weather out for December.  I was so happy for my families. . . that they were able to come to sessions wearing outfits that didn’t have to be covered up with bulky coats.   The Tiernan family came to do a cake smash for their little man who […]

I love taking pictures of my friend Jami’s family.  There is a wonderful reason for this.  It’s because when I go to her house, and look around, there are pictures hanging ALL over her walls and framed on her tables and shelves. Pictures that I took of them.  And it makes me happy. . . […]

I’m sure many of you parents who spend a lot of time with your children, and who also have some other responsibilities other than parenting find yourselves pulled in a hundred directions.  That’s not news to anybody.  And to me, it’s definitely not new news. Many times this week, I have told myself to stop. […]

Earlier this month, I had many outdoor family sessions scheduled.  This, of course, is a very risky thing when you live in Rochester, NY.  I was just reading an article the other day posted on one of my friend’s facebook page on the topic of snow.  At this point last year (this was about a […]

 Though I don’t have a picture of the actual tree, the very first memory that we will always have of re-moving into our house is putting up our Christmas tree together.  With nothing else in the house.  Just a sparkly Christmas tree.  And the four of us.   Then we went to Wegmans and ate […]

Last month, I had the opportunity to shoot my first session ever at the home of a client.  I have to admit, I was a little tentative about it.  I was worried that there might not be enough natural light.  That I would be uncomfortable at someone else’s house.  That we wouldn’t have “enough to […]

My new neighbors!  This family lives a couple of streets over from our new house.  Hopefully their youngest son and my oldest will become good friends.  They will be in Kindergarten together next year. . . so I may have found a hey, let’s sign our kids up for the same soccer team! friend. And […]
