We are early decorators for Christmas.  Normally.  We typically have our tree set up before Thanksgiving. But this year, we had a busy few weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, and then we were out of town for many days, and the tree didn’t make it’s way out of storage until the day before December. We […]

Boys are near and dear to my heart.  And a family with three of them? Even better 🙂  Did we run and play? Of course.  Did we roll around on the ground? Absolutely. (Well, not so much me rolling around on the ground than the boys rolling around on the ground, but I think you […]

It’s been almost a week since I’ve written a blog post.  We had an interesting week to say the least.  It all began with a trip that was supposed to take nine hours, but which turned into quite a fiasco. We took off from Rochester last Tuesday night after James got home from work.  We […]

Being a photographer takes a lot of work–that’s not a surprise.  Looking at these images, it might appear that newborn photography is easy.  The babies just sleep. . . you pose them and bam, easiest job in the world.  On the contrary my friend–now that I’m in the depths of newborns, I can tell you […]

We are in full holiday swing over here.  Lots of little celebrations going on with family and friends, and we love it.  Last week, we spent the evening with some friends packing up shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.  The kids all loved it–and though it was sort of a chaotic five minute packing event, we […]

Little guys like these are super special to me.  I watched his family begin before he was born when I shot his parent’s wedding two years ago.  I met him a few days after he was born during his newborn session. And a couple of months ago, I got to help celebrate his one year […]

Amidst the chaos going on in my hometown of Buffalo, I thought I’d give a little shout out to summer time on my blog today.  A few days ago, I shot mini sessions in Buffalo, and in that same exact location, they are now literally up to their necks in snow.  Emergencies everywhere . . […]

I love establishing a trusting relationship with my clients.  This family right here. . . I love them.  They are loyal clients, which makes me love them even more 🙂  They are sweet and pictures of life are important to them. But then they picked up and moved eight miles away . . . Of all […]

Project 365 | 2014  is currently about 44 days from being done. Lately, I’ve been slipping.  I think I missed three days last week, which brings my total missed days into the teens, I think. Not too shabby for sure, but still–I’ve got to get better and not pulling the oh my goodness, it’s the […]

I first met Mindy a few years ago at my mom’s church in Buffalo.  Mindy’s mom is best friends with one of my friends, Mary–I had done both of Mary’s children’s weddings and Mindy’s mom was there for those.  I remember her talking about how I would love her daughter Mindy–“You guys have so much […]
