PA or Bust.

Hopefully in the next few days, I will be sharing lots of fun pictures of our family as we head out for a much deserved little trip to Hershey Park. We’re taking some time away with my parents and soaking up some good summer fun (and perhaps stuffing our face with lots of overpriced chocolate […]

Lucas [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

Lucas was a little dream to photograph. From beginning to end. He loved being snuggled up, and we were able to do a lot with him, including using a few of the props that his parents brought along to incorporate in to a few of the images. Remember back to this session?  It was one […]

T T T Tuesday.

How is everyone today? Feeling good? Getting what you want out of summer? We’re trying–we have ups and downs. Happy times. Annoyed times. Family times. Slow times. We’re gearing up to head to Hershey Park for a couple of days, and boy what a chore packing is when a baby is involved. The kid needs […]

Mary Ann & Chuck | A Classics Five Wedding

Nine little girls in matching red dresses. Picture it. More than adorable, yes. Especially on the dance floor. Mary Ann and Chuck are family people. They are close with so many people in their family–and they are well loved. The wedding party was giant–siblings, cousins, best friends an uncle. The more, the merrier with these […]

Insecurity on the Horizon

Sometimes I just want to stop fighting. For my business, I mean. There are days when things are going great. I have a wonderful session–things are hunky dory. People like and comment on my work. I make some kind of impression somewhere. There are days though, when the mere thought of continuing to run a […]

Conrad [Rochester, NY Children’s Mini Session Photographer]

Just about two years ago, I had this little firecracker named Conrad come in for his newborn session. For three hours, he spent time with me, and for three hours, he never slept. At almost two now, he still is a little boy who knows what he wants. We spent much of the session playing […]

Red, White and Boom 2014

The boys were so thrilled this year for the fourth of July. We were headed to Buffalo for a wedding the next day, so we checked out the fireworks at the University at Buffalo–they were spectacular. LATE . . . but spectacular. They didn’t start until a little after ten, and by the time we […]

Beautiful Belly [Rochester, NY Maternity Photographer]

  I shot Angela and Ryan’s wedding last year shortly after returning from maternity leave, and now they are expecting in about a month! We had an incredible evening for our session–it was just beautiful out. Angela was such a trooper . . . we had to walk up and down some hills and we […]

Is it October?

October is my busiest month usually. July though? Not so much. But maybe I’m basing that on last year’s July. When I was 37-40 weeks pregnant and didn’t do a single session. Perhaps that’s why this year’s July feels like October. Busy is good, for sure. Busy means my business is thriving. But busy also […]

Pink or Blue? [Buffalo, NY Children’s Photographer]

Colden is one of my favorites. His belly laugh is so contagious that I find myself laughing with him through our session. My cheeks ache from the smiling. Of course, sometimes he isn’t so thrilled to be in the spotlight, but we work hard to get those amazing bright eyed smiles and it’s so worth […]
