All Smiles [Rochester, NY Baby’s First Year Photographer]

Miss Avery might be one of my favorite babies ever to photograph. She was born photogenic. Avery rocked her newborn session, just days after she was born (to see images from her session, here’s the post). She was born with the sweetest, most perfect little face.  Her face is still adorable, and her whole face […]

Be Changed.

How is this going to change you? I just don’t want to continue going through life the same, thinking that I’m not changed by this in some way.  These words were spoken to me last night by my husband. He’s super good at asking leading questions like this. And I am super good at not having […]

Boots & Puddles [Rochester, NY Puddle Splashing Photographer]

This little ladybug was my last boots & puddles jumper for my little evening of minis. She was adorable, and literally danced through the session, singing her own renditions of all the songs from Frozen. The rain sprinkled down on us, and it’s a good thing she had her umbrella in tow. I’m looking forward […]

Discontent.

I often come across something, either that I see or that I read, and I get all jealous about it. I wish I were that clever. I wish I could write that well. I wish I came up with that idea first. I wish I could sing like that. I wish I found that steal […]

Basket Case

Me. I’m talking about me. The basket case over here. I’m going to have to learn how to take a chill pill while my son plays sports. I mumble in my head the entire time. I get worked up about everything. I want to advocate for my child. To yell out to everyone that this […]

Boots & Puddles [Rochester, NY Puddle Splashing Photographer]

I see Leo and Eli often, and every single time I photograph them, I have a smile plastered on my face nearly the entire session. They are just loads of fun. Without fail, every time I see Leo, it seems like this is the best day of his life. He is always smiling, always laughing, […]

Anybody?

Our son Carter is the most precious child on the planet. Well, not all the time. He’s sometimes a brute, mostly all the time a poor sport, and is very stubborn when it comes to having things a certain way. But other than a few things that are easy to brush under the rug, the […]

Lifetime Promise

I’ve been married to James for approximately three thousand seven hundred seventy seven days. Almost thirty eight hundred days of spending my life with this one other human who I made this crazy lifetime promise to. And I wouldn’t change it for the world. I can only pray that we continue to hold this promise […]

Boots & Puddles [Rochester, NY Puddle Splashing Photographer]

Colton and Tyler were a hoot in their adorable superhero getups, hand picked by their mom for this special puddle splashing event. They got fancy new umbrellas for the occasion, and were so excited about using them. At first we dumped a little water in the street, but that really wasn’t cutting it for puddle […]
