No winter over this way!

Winter is taking it’s sweet time getting here, and I am A-okay with that. Temperatures I think have been averaging about 50! We’ve only seen a couple of very small flurries this December (none that have stuck to the ground yet), and the next two days are supposed to be in the 60’s! Seriously, this is […]

Before they were five |Rochester, NY Family Photographer

I just saw this family on Monday. They had welcomed their third little one, making them a family of five. Their newest little addition was an adorable little squishy chunk. But before they became a bigger family, we did a family session in early Fall. It was a perfect sunny day on the beach, and I […]

Miss Penelope | Rochester, NY Baby Photographer

This little lady was such a hoot for her one year session. Full of hilarious expressions and smiles and hamming it up for the camera. She was such a little peanut! She didn’t mind all the outfit changes either–I normally tell parents to bring a few along in case we can get to them. And […]

Going Solo

A little over a week ago, I took a quick business/family trip by myself down to Georgia. I was able to make a quick stop to my dad’s house and have a wonderful dinner with family, and then I spent a couple of days with a fellow photographer. The whole trip was quick and wonderful, […]

Two. . . and beautiful | Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer

Right now, I kind of love that I blog sessions a few months after shooting them. Because that means it’s December, and I get to reminisce about the beautiful green of early Fall and adorable little girls with bare feet and sundresses. Avery has grown right before my very eyes. She was part of my […]

Rolling through the end

2015 is coming to a close, and we’re rolling right on through December without looking behind us. Our house is in the Christmas spirit and we have decorations warming our hearts in our main living space (with a touch in the big boys’ room as well). We love our real tree and I ask myself why […]

Adventures in Wonderland (and Twinderland) | Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer

My photographic adventures with these two Twincesses is always so much fun. Their parents really go all out for their yearly session, and I love their ideas. This is the fourth year we’ve done a themed session (check out our past sessions! Carnival, Orchard Bakery, Chic Campout). This year’s theme was an  Adventures in Wonderland […]

Merry Turkeys. And Happy Christmas!

We had a blast over our Thanksgiving break. Pretty much because we did nearly nothing but hang out at home. We were all a bit under the weather, so it was for the best to have no big plans. I’m so grateful for my little family, and the joy of being together. It was sad […]

Hump Day Nuggets: A Lesson in Noise

For those of you who aren’t photographer folk, I am going to teach you something today about a little thing called noise. Noise is what happens when you take a picture in low light and either in camera (by raising something called your ISO) or post processing, you make the exposure brighter. Enter noise. Little speckles […]

Rochester, NY Family Photographer

Looking back through these images from my session with the Law Family, I miss green already, and it’s only been gone off of our trees for a few weeks now. Our session was in September, but it was a beautiful evening. I love the playfulness of so many of these images, and how our session […]
