Colden [Buffalo, NY Children’s Photographer]

The thing I loved about this session was, well, everything really.  The session almost didn’t happen.  We were scheduled to shoot in Buffalo, but had to cancel our session because of the frigid spring weather.  Because I was pretty busy before going on my maternity leave, it wasn’t going to work out to reschedule.  I […]

One Year Later

Summer soccer started last night.  I remember last year, coming to the conclusion that Brayden wasn’t going to grow up playing soccer–that he had no interest, that he couldn’t keep up with the other kids and that he was a bit slow, distractible and had no sense of what was going on.  Thankfully a year […]

Last Minute Summer Adventures

Summer break started last week for us, and I need to try to embrace these last few weeks with my two boys before we have a newborn in the house.  I have a good friend who is spontaneous like I am.  She doesn’t mind making last minute plans and doesn’t need a whole lot of […]

A Struggle for a Quart

I was determined not to miss strawberry picking season this year.  Last year, June past us by and we never made it out.  So this year, I was gung ho about making it to a u-pick farm to make some special memories with the boys, enjoying ourselves and picking delicious strawberries.  At least, that’s how […]

Liam [Rochester, NY Baby Photographer]

One year ago, I took newborn pictures for this gorgeous baby boy- And now he’s one.  And still has a head of beautiful red hair.  And is totally laid back and was perfect for his pictures.  He was one of my last sessions before I went on maternity leave–thankfully he wasn’t running all over the […]

Last Day

Some first day/last day comparisons: I just watched Brayden get on the bus for the very last time ever as a Kindergartner.  Next year, first grade brings new things–mainly a full school day.  Brayden loved school–it’s no secret that he’s Mister Social Butterfly.  He loves the kids in his class.  He loves his teacher.  He […]

My Two Little Men

Almost a year ago, we started redoing Brayden’s bedroom with the intentions of having the boy’s share a room.  It was slow work–we demoed part of the room and put in built in beds, one on each side of the room, where a long skinny storage space used to be.  James did mostly the whole […]

“Sewing” At It Again

Get my title?  Like “going” at it again, but sewing?  If I had to explain it, perhaps it wasn’t as funny as I thought! 🙂 This past week, I wanted to try out some fun fabric that I saw awhile back at Joann’s.  It’s called PUL fabric. . . it’s waterproof.  People can make their […]

Family Love [Rochester, NY Mini Session Photographer]

This family was so adorable–quietly silly and partially reserved, but the little ones coming out of their shell definitely by the end.  We had a fun little fifteen minute session, and the kids left still happy and ready for ice cream.  New faces are great!  Loved meeting them.  Looking forward to my time off for […]

Birthday Weekend: Part 2

Moving a little slower these days, but finally looking through the rest of Brayden’s birthday pictures.  He had some friends to Wickham Farms, a local farm near us.  We’re beginning to love this place– we just joined their CSA and we’re excited that it begins next Monday.  We’re looking forward to a season full of […]
