April in July | Project 365

Here we are at the end of July and I”m still going strong with my Project 365. I know after my last post about this project, a few of you started your own. Kudos to you! Even if you miss a day here and there, you’re creating something that will be looked back at with […]

Lisa & Matt | Engaged [Buffalo Historial Society Museum Engagement Session]

Lisa and Matt were so sweet during our session. We arrived at our shooting location to literally hundreds of people swarmed around and a parking lot completely full of cars. I’ve shot at this location before, and typically the lot is very nearly empty. After a short panic attack, and a quick ten minute walk […]

Two Years Gone

I’m sure to most of you, it’s no surprise that I’m writing this post today. I have felt the need to mentally visit this every six months, to make sure that this small corner of the world still remembers her.  To make sure that all of my readers–some days a small audience, and other days […]

Bucket List Checkmarks

This summer, James and I really wanted to have an outdoor movie night in our yard. Complete with a bunch of friends, lots of kiddos snuggled onto blankets, snacks all around and a warm, happy feeling as if all is right in the world. So last week, we celebrated Sawyer’s birthday and did just that. […]

Blended [Rochester, NY Family Photographer]

I meet the most amazing families in my job. Everyone has such a different story–some are adopted. Some are step parents. Some are single parents. Some are finally living their Happily Ever After and they want me to help capture it. It’s always fun for me to learn about the different relationships during some of […]

And Just Like That . . .

. . . the first four weeks of summer have vanished right before our very eyes. Today, I’m taking a break. . . and therefore I dub this blog post Wordless Thursday (doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as Wordless Wednesday does, does it?). Starting now.

Gabriella [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

I’ve had a string of little boy newborns lately, so I was thrilled to have this little beauty come to my studio–we still stuck with mostly neutrals, but throwing in some lovely shades of pink here and there were a big change from all the blues and greens going on here lately. Miss Gabriella did […]

One

Dear Sawyer, Today, you are one. How on earth did that happen? One year ago, they cut you out of my belly and you came out screeching like a cat in the biggest fight of it’s life. You were a chubby ball of love, and then just like that, you lost all the chub and […]

The Sweetest Place on Earth

We are always ones to take quick little trips, and most of the time my mom and stepdad come along with us for the fun.  We believe that building family memories with grandparents is super important, and plus, it helps with keeping us all sane! Hershey Park was great–but the different in height between Brayden […]

One! [Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer]

What a joy this little guy was to photograph! Sure, like any one year old, by the end of the session he was a bit grumpy about all the fuss. But it’s hard work being so cute, and it’s super hard work growing those eyelashes so amazingly long. Seriously, those eyelashes are like a mile […]
