The Joy of Five [Rochester, NY Family Photographer]

I had the joy of photographing this little light of a child this past October.  This lovely family goes to the same church that I do, but we’ve never really talked before, and it wasn’t until we met for the session that I finally put a face with a name!  Our session day was a […]

Enter: Activity Juggling

In the past, we’ve signed up Brayden for a few things here and there.  Art class a couple of times a year.  Soccer in the summer.  Baseball in the spring.  And I think that’s been it. But in the beginning of January, things sort of exploded around here. We decided our kids needed to be […]

Boys, Boys! [Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer]

Sometimes sessions go off without a hitch, and we smile through the whole thing and pat ourselves on the back for a job well done.  Gavin and Finn’s session was not full of smiles.  In fact, at one point, we panicked.  Sarah and I went to the same high school and graduated just one year […]

To Everything There is a Season: January is for cleaning up

January is a time of new beginnings.  And for me, that means cleaning up everything.  Not just physical things. . . like cleaning up the house.  That’s definitely something I do–and cleaning up on my laundry habits has been top priority for January.  But also, I’ve cleaned up some business items.  I updated my online […]

Beach Babies [Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer]

I adore these two.  I’ve been photographing them since they were born, and they actually were my very first newborn session ever.  Twins!  Nothing like getting initiated super fast . . . pee everywhere! They have grown into such beautiful little people, and our time at the beach was so fun.  We found a little corner […]

Little Tumbler

Carter’s new love is gymnastics class.  He’s only had a few classes, but he’s hooked.  The gymnastics center near our house is just full of things–all sorts of things. . . and the place seems gigantic.  Each week they do three separate stations, and the stations are different each class, which I think is great.  Carter […]

Hazy Sunshine [Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer]

Blogging this session makes me long for summer with a yearning that lies deep within my soul.  We shot this session in August, but many of the images were used to gift to these adorable littles’ grandparents, so I wanted to make sure not to blog it too early as to ruin the surprise.  As […]

21 days to make a habit

While we discuss the issue of laundry, I thought you also might want to see some adorable pictures of my oldest, modeling my handmade newspaper backdrop that I used for some Valentine’s Day pictures. About a week ago, I mentioned a game changer in my daily routine. As the saying goes, it takes twenty-one days […]

Published!

Almost a year ago, I shot Becca and Lou’s classy gorgeous winter wedding (based on the number of images I blogged, clearly, I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites).  The details were beautiful, the couple was ahem . . . not so bad looking themselves, and James and I had a blast capturing their […]

Recovering

We are all thankful in this house that it’s a new week.  The stomach bug flew rampant through our house over the weekend, and thankfully it was here and gone before we knew it.  It wasn’t a lingering bug, thank goodness.  No one had to miss school (but James, who was the last to get […]
