What do you call a hot dog without it’s insides?

When I was in high school, I used to like to tell corny jokes.  I told them so much that when Senior Night rolled around for volleyball–the underclassman who gave my “speech”  (Melanie, yes. . . I do STILL remember all the nice things you said about me!) joked about how I used to always […]

Sweet Boy [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

Declan’s newborn session started off as a near disaster.  I am both full time photographer and full time stay at home mom, and so sometimes, things don’t work out smoothly.  My plan for newborn sessions is usually to drop off my boys to be babysat and then head back to my house where everything is […]

Thrifting = Big bang for your buck

Luckily, I have kids that are not fussy.  They could care less if something is bought used, as long as it’s “totally awesome”.  I love to make my kids happy.  Mainly, I like to buy things for them that I know they would love to have.  Money can’t buy love I know, but I also love […]

Lilliana [Rochester, NY Baby Photographer]

This little munchkin has inched her way into my heart during her first three sessions.  Only one more in her first year package, and her newest sibling will be on their way shortly after!  She was such a ham for her eight month session–smiling the whole time with those big baby blues and cute little […]

Miss Penny [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

Penelope came in to see me in August, and she wooed me with her dainty little feminine face and her big alert eyes.  She slept for a good part of the session, but then decided she wanted to join the party and was awake for awhile.  While posing a newborn that is awake is always […]

The Pant Problem

The heat has been turned on.  The footie pajamas are out.  We have officially entered tundra season in my books.  I have yet to dig out the winter coats and hats, but those are next.  Just in case you were wondering though. . . flip flops still have a place in my wardrobe until it […]

Joanna & Alex | A Brookfield Country Club Wedding

  Joanna and Alex’s wedding day was full of one gorgeous detail after another.  That’s what happens when the bride is an event planner.  Everything was beautifully decorated and it was gorgeous from beginning to end.  James and I always love weddings with such lovely things to photograph–it’s exciting for us, and it gives us […]

Natalie | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer

Welcome to the world, Natalie!  Natalie is baby number one for her parents, and she came out with an amazing head of hair and such sweet, chubby cheeks.  Natalie is model material, and she knocked her first session out of the park–perfect and poseable.  Just how I like them 🙂

Being Blessed

Life isn’t always something we need to go through on our own.  Sometimes I feel like I live in a bubble–that all of the lovely people that I long to be friends with have their own little powwow of friends and don’t have time to make me a part of their little group.  Or I’m […]
