Summer Dance

James had summer break on Friday. Now he’s back to school, today and tomorrow. Let’s do the summer dance. Let’s do the summer grumble. Back and forth, like a giddy kid who is torn between eating too much candy and wanting to puke because his belly hurts. No worries though–two full days of curriculum work […]

Ashley & Anthony | A Becker Farms Wedding

The Summer Solstice. A beautifully long day–the longest of the year. A most perfect day to get married because it celebrates two things we are all so fond of. Summer & Love. What could be better? The day started off with a few glitches, but nothing that couldn’t be forgotten once we were in full […]

Hugs All Around [Rochester, NY Mommy & Me Session]

You would never know we spent much of this session letting the kids run up and down rolling hills as fast as they could. There’s always a secret behind how I get the images I end up with by the end of the session. The behind the scenes side of the story that may consist […]

Thirty Days

Believe it or not, it took thirty days for us to open our pool. We took the cover off on Memorial Day weekend. It sat there, like a festering green swamp for about a week before James could head out to the pool store to grab some supplies. And then for days and days and […]

Hannah & Chris [Rochester, NY Engagement Photographer]

I met with Hannah & Chris during their brief stay in New York while they did a blitz of wedding planning. Hannah is going to school in Chicago, but their wedding will be here. They had a few days and wanted to meet with me to talk through their wedding timeline and figure out what […]

Party Like it’s 1999!

I remember back to that year. 1999. The year I graduated from High School. Of course, it only makes sense to have a theme song so perfect for the specific situation. We all hummed it to ourselves with glee. We’re gonna party like it’s 1999. Because, of course, it was 1999. And graduating from high […]

The Big Disappointment

The following nearly fifty images were presented to James and I as part of our “image choices” from our professional wedding pictures. We’ve been married for just about eleven years. Eleven years ago we were just babies. We got engaged and I chose our photographer based on what, I’m not sure. But I was sure […]

Beautiful [Rochester, NY Family Mini Session Photographer]

This family is just gorgeous. I’ve done a few sessions for them before in the past, and I love seeing them. Maureen does a great job choosing outfits, and they all have beautiful smiles. Their littlest one is just a few weeks younger than my little guy, so it was fun to see her in […]

Field Day Flop

All day long I heard it from our house. The sound of excitement. A man announcing through a microphone. Music blaring. Children screaming in excitement. It was Field Day at Brayden’s school. The very first field day he would ever get to do, and the very first one I would get to go and watch. […]

Cate [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

What a little doll Cate was! With her petite face and full little newborn lips. So perfect. And also, a session to remember. She definitely was ready to make her grand entrance into the modeling world by going to the bathroom earlier than any other newborn I’ve had. Literally, it was like within thirty seconds […]
