These two are self proclaimed “non picture people”. They aren’t fond of getting their pictures taken, and you could tell in the beginning of their session that they were a bit uncomfortable about the whole thing. Well, because they told me they were, but also because they were a bit stiff and unsure of themselves. […]

Our May in photographs. Seems so long ago. Looking back to these thirty one days brings such a smile on my face. I talk all the time about making the insignificant mundane activities of the day seem more significant by capturing them in a photograph.  By doing this, we are making them more important than […]

I love this little guy’s name!  So adorable–and to match his adorable little face. This little one had a rough first couple weeks with one thing after another happening. . . his poor mom and dad! Thrown into first time parenthood, which is already hard enough, with some other complications. He’s doing well now though, […]

Next week. The last full week of summer. AHHH!  Autumn is rolling in like a raging storm and I will soon have a second grader. Today, I made a point to take the boys out to some garage sales. We’ve had a stressful week, and they’ve been asking me to take them to a few. […]

I have a lovely, talented friend named Sarah who is like a little ball of sunshine. She’s a graphic designer, and is one of the sweetest people I know. True story. She and Andrew decided to celebrate their nine year anniversary with a photo shoot at sunset. Because she’s a friend, I agreed to a […]

Whoa. The name of my blog post today. I realized that I have some images from almost two weeks ago that never made it onto the blog–I was going back and forth between blogging our Florida trip and my photography sessions and meanwhile, I was still taking photos of family stuff. It’s all good. I’m […]

Cathie & Andrew chose a beautiful August date to get married–Rochester didn’t get the memo though that it’s actually August, so their wedding date was surrounded by chilly weather and rain. We made the best of it, and thankfully the rain let up for just a little bit while we did some outdoor pictures. I […]

We’ve been back from Florida for almost two weeks now, and finally I’m getting the rest of the pictures on the blog. Finished! We were all able to head down for a visit except for the New Hampshire Chases. . . they had been planning a youth leadership conference that landed right in the middle […]

Shooting a wedding is no joke. This isn’t something new to me of course, but it’s also something that doesn’t get easier with time. I mean, after all, we are shooting somebody’s wedding. As in, probably THE most important day in their lives up until this point.  And even if it’s your tenth wedding or […]

It’s not typical anymore that I walk into a wedding never having met the bride and groom, but I met Debora and Craig for the very first time on their wedding day. They live in Long Island, so they aren’t right around the corner–their wedding wasn’t right around the corner from us either. The reception […]
