A bit excessive

You will have to forgive me for the excessive amount of basketball images in this post.  Not much for variety.  But the grandparents will thank me, because I know they like seeing them 🙂 We’ve come a long way with Brayden in a few years. I remember writing this post–He had just turned four and […]

Beautiful on both the inside and the outside [Rochester, NY Maternity & Newborn Photographer]

I normally don’t blog two sessions in one post, but these two fit so well together.  I love so many images from these two sessions–Jacki and Ryan are so photogenic–and don’t even get me started on their dog.  Sooo well behaved and loving. Jacki’s maternity session was, well, a bit windy, for lack of better words. We tried […]

Can You Relate?

Last week, I posted this image of James and I on Facebook. It got more interaction that I was anticipating, and we kind of chuckled about it. But I think it’s because people could relate. We know so many people with little ones. Some of you work all day and then come home and take […]

The Fourth Be With Us

My blog post title made sense in my head, but when I typed it out, it didn’t really. I kept it anyways.  This was the FOURTH year that our boys have gotten to attend Star Wars Night at our public library.  A completely free, and completely wonderful simple event for the littles. I honestly can’t […]

Two Years Later [Rochester, NY Family Photographer]

Two years ago, I met this gorgeous family–gorgeous on both inside and outside.  We frolicked around an abandoned warehouse (no worries. . . in a completely safe area), and the frolicked some more in a corn field. You can see the love through the images. Two years later, their love is still so contagious. Their little […]

Playing Catch Up!

Break week is here! One of the few weeks of the school year that we have had barely any plans, and we can hunker down and be lazy. Kind of. I still have had a few sessions, and there’s always work to be done, but for the most part, we are trying to chill and […]

Five

Dear Carter, Today you are five. Not possible. You are tiny. You are mighty. You are one of our greatest gifts in this life. You are more loved than you know, and I marvel at you everyday. At your humor. Your stories. Your bravery and joy of thrilling adventures, but your hatred for losing. You […]

And soon they will be . . . FOUR [Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer]

I love seeing Maddie every so often for some updated pictures–they live in Pennsylvania, but visit to see family every now and then, so they come see me too! In just a few short months this adorable little family of three will be growing by one more.  A little boy is on his way.  So […]

Back in the Holiday Spirit [Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer]

The funny thing about blogging sessions about two months after they occur is this. Holiday pictures, on the blog, in February. Everyone needs a little reminder of the holiday spirit, right?  And I love their little outfits too.  So adorable. If I can’t dress my own kids in frills and bows, I’m so glad to […]

Birthday Week has Begun!

In Carter’s book, Saturday was “the best day ever!” Though his real birthday isn’t until Friday, he had his birthday party this past Saturday.  We used to have birthdays at our own house, and we could invite everyone we wanted.  But the prep/cleanup and anxiety about the parties was more than I thought I could handle for […]
