Christmas in Four Pictures

Pregnancy is sapping nearly every bit of my energy.  So what’s left?  Enough for me to fish out four images from my memory card that represent a few of our highlights from Christmas.  Perhaps in a few days, I can muster a few more ounces of energy to post something more substantial.  Ha!  That’s a […]

‘Twas the day after Christmas

James wanted to take the boys sledding this morning.  We turned our house upside-down trying to find Carter’s snow pants, but no luck.  We are so excited that some friends just moved in about a mile from us, and within five minutes, I had texted her and we had snow pants in our hands that […]

Slugs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

Little Oliver was welcomed into this world by his four older brothers.  They are going to be like a little gang of boys, growing up together.  Their lives full of brotherhood.  Playing sports together.  Thanksgiving football games.  Standing up in each other’s weddings.  Playing practical jokes on each other. They are going to have the […]

Mini IV [Rochester, NY Family Photographer]

The opposite of my family–two bright eyed little girls.  They were so cute in their ruffled girly clothes and striped tights.  And they definitely were both super shy, but with the help of their parents and a little bit of running around, we got some smiles out of them still. I’m running out of days […]

Life: December 17, 2012

Documenting simple moments–it’s so important.  With the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, don’t forget to take a moment to stare at your beautiful children’s faces and memorize every part of them.  Don’t forget to feel their warm, soft skin and look in their gorgeous eyes and thank God for the gift of life.

Mini III [Rochester, NY Family Holiday Photographer]

Little mischievous boys always make me laugh.  This little guy tried his hardest to hold back his smiles, but by the end of the session he was giggles and humor and was plain old making me laugh.  His big sister tried to keep him in line 🙂

Mini II [Rochester, NY Family Photographer]

My job can be extremely rewarding at times–well, most of the time.  I find that I am so joyful most of the time when presenting clients their images because I know the love that resides deep down inside of me, that many of my clients have as well.  A love and a burning desire to […]

Mini I [Rochester, NY Family Photographer]

This was the first family I saw in almost thirty mini sessions the past few weeks.  I have no idea if I will lose steam and start posting two or three sessions in one blog post, but for now. . . I’ll do one at a time!  This family was so gorgeous!  They had a […]

Merry and Bright

I wish we could send a Christmas greeting to everyone we know, but this isn’t possible 🙁  So for all those who we could not send a physical copy of our card to, here it is in digital form 🙂  Our message on the back reads: May Jesus always be your joy, your hope, your […]

Home [Rochester, NY Baby Photographer]

Since John was a newborn, I have been going to his own home to photograph him.  During his nine month session, it was mild enough outside to do some outdoor pictures, so we took advantage of that and did some on Rob and Lindsey’s front lawn (which I might add, was perfectly manicured, even for […]
