March In May | Project 365

Today is Day 150 in my Project 365.  I haven’t missed a day yet, though I never formally posted the images that I took when we went on our trip to Las Vegas in early March for my conference.  All of the images in this post were taken in March, minus those ones from the […]

Deanna & Brian | A Canandaigua Inn on the Lake Wedding

The weather could not have been more ideal for their wedding. Deanna and Brian were married this past Sunday, in an outdoor ceremony, followed by a tent reception. It was a perfectly comfortable seventy-five. The guests were fanning themselves off from heat. They weren’t covering themselves up with their date’s jacket because they were cold. […]

Lilliana [Buffalo, NY Baby Photographer]

Four months is always a tricky age to photograph–there isn’t a ton to do as far as posing goes. The babies can’t sit up alone at four months. They are still very unstable and wobbly, so putting them in any kind of precarious situation is also out of the question. And a lot of times, […]

Five Things in May that I Loved.

1. The Webster movie theater. James and I have a date night once a month. I have a hard time not wanting to go to the movies every single time because our theater is hands down amazing. Clean. Spacious. Reclining leather chairs. Weeknight evening prices of $7.50. Everyone who has been there knows that once […]

Maddie [Rochester, NY Baby Photographer]

Miss Maddie is very special to me. . . I photographed her parent’s wedding back in 2011, followed by her mom’s maternity session last year. Her mom was glowing and adorable. . . check out the images here! They live a couple of hours away, and I love that they take time to come see me […]

Friday’s Review

My sister-in-law Rachelle has always said that she just loves watching her boys play sports. She goes to their practices and all the games, and just beams with happiness while she watches them. I don’t think I ever really understood what she meant until very recently. I just love watching Brayden play baseball. I know, I […]

Celebrate Mom [Rochester, NY Mommy & Me Session]

This session makes me just gush on the inside. Great big heaps of loving goop. This family is just plain gorgeous. When Becky booked one of my few mommy & me mini sessions that I offered in May, I was thrilled! I’ve done a couple sessions for them before–she’s creative as well, and owns her […]

Village Designs Elmwood

A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of photographing one of my high school classmates store opening party. I love when people act on those heart whispers. . . take steps to do something truly unique and special, and go confidently in the direction of their dreams, as Thoreau told us to do. No […]

Bumpy Mornings

This Monday morning has been a bit bumpy for us. It started off with a baby who woke up too early (though, thankfully, he went back to sleep). Followed by lots of bumps and bangs by the same little boy, who climbs everywhere and gets into everything. Drool, throw up, boogers and little pieces of […]
