Adorable little blonde hair, blue eyed Charlotte just turned one.  Last year, I shot her newborn session and she was just as precious and sweet then.  She reminds me of a girl version of Carter–teeny tiny and petite, with a sweet personality.  And already walking as well, which was fun to see.  A quick little […]

It’s almost less than fifty days that we get to meet our third son.  THIRD SON.  That’s a lot of boys.  But we’re super excited, and I’m ready to meet him.  I dream daily of the three days I get to spend getting to know him at the hospital–all new and soft and snuggly.  It […]

I adore mini sessions.  I offer them just a handful of times a year.  It’s an amazing way to get to see people who I normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to see.  Sometimes, with young children, they just can’t handle a full session. So a fifteen minute, quick paced session is awesome. . . the […]

We’re now less than two months away from meeting our third son.  And things have already drastically changed.  I am officially on maternity leave from photography, until the earliest, the end of August, depending on how things go.  Things feel different.  I had my very last session this past Saturday, and felt a physical burden […]

My handful of sessions before I went on maternity leave was filled with a bunch of boys.  Handsome energetic boys that I loved shooting.  It’s nice to be able to have conversations with little men who I totally know what’s up in their world.  I know the coolest things to play with, and watch on […]

I’ve come to my senses today, and with a good stern talking to, I have been put on “maternity leave” sooner than anticipated.  Running your own business makes things so tricky.  I can obviously take as much time as needed before I have my baby, and as much time after I have my baby, but […]

Lately, I’ve had a plethora of boys to photograph.  It’s not a problem–I know how to relate to little boys, as I have two of my own.  This little family was a lot like mine–two boys.  Full of energy and fun.  Short attention spans, but winning smiles. I met Jessica at my basic photography class […]

Mother’s Day because a little tricky when you are a mom and you have a mom and you want to make your mom’s day nice but you also want your day to be stress free and nice as well–so what happens?  Your husband gets double duty!  James worked hard to plan a day for us […]

I photographed Laura and Mike’s gorgeous wedding back in 2011. . . check out their details and love story in pictures here. They are expecting their first joyful addition to the family in June–a little girl, to make them a family of three.  They don’t live in Rochester, but have family here, so they were visiting for the […]

This session was last minute, and it was perfect.  I got an email from this little one’s dad the day before we ended up doing the session.  Sometimes being a photographer is all about being flexible and making sure that you can plan on the fly.  And thankfully, sometimes I can manage that.  But also […]
