Bucket List: First Big Fat Checkmark

School is out for the summer! I know for some of you, you’re saying it’s about darn time! as your kids have been done for a full month now. . . but up here in these parts, kids go to school until July is almost here. Crazy, crazy. Now that school is out, it’s time to start […]

Josie [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

Josie’s newborn session was full of chubby cheeks and perfect baby rolls! She did so well during her session, and her umbilical cord decided it was time to go about half way through. I loved her full head of dark hair–dark hair always looks so good as a contrast to a lot of the muted […]

Five things to love about Summer Break . . .

1. Infinite possibilities: This is the phrase that James and I used to use when we were dating, and we had “free time”. We were in college, and usually our schedules were packed with things. . . classes, practice, intermurals, homework, road trips. . . you name it. I remember when we had an unexpected […]

One! [Rochester, NY First Year Photographer]

This is the fourth time I’ve seen Connor in his first year of life, and he’s such a little joy–full of curiosity and and a love for his momma 🙂 He wasn’t digging the inside pictures, but you’d never know that from what we ended up with, because he definitely still smiled for us in […]

Learning

My two older boys are not natural “play outside” kids. I know that sounds really weird, but both of them literally have no idea what to do with themselves when we have them come outside to play. I think winter squashes their outdoor imagination. Carter is definitely worse than Brayden, and literally asks every five […]

Harper [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

Harper was amazing for her session, and her big sister was on cuteness overload with her little glasses and pigtails. Harper slept and slept and I just love when babies come see me and sleep almost the entire time. I do love a couple of awake pictures of course, but ooooh, those little squishy sleepy babies make […]

Bits and Pieces

Do any of you seem to fly by the seat of your pants like it seems like I do? I can’t keep track of things anymore–I used to be so on top of things, and now I mentally prepare for things when they are right in front of my face. I used to have the […]

Sunshine Smiles [Rochester, NY Baby Photographer]

I just adore newborn sessions. But if there was another session that I never tire of, it’s of beautiful little babies who have just learned how to sit up on their own and who smile with their whole faces, as though they are filled right up to the brim with sunshine. And that’s exactly how […]

Sarcastic Blog Post Title: Eating Less is So Much Fun

Well, I hit a wall a couple weeks ago. A food wall. Like so many people in this country, I am addicted to food. I’ll openly admit that, because really when it comes down to it, I think most of us are. It’s such an easy trap to fall into. We love spending time with […]

Darling Donna [Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer]

This little munchkin was beyond amazing for her newborn session. I seriously could’ve photographed her all day–she made my job so much fun. Such a sweet little lady–so sleepy and perfectly moldable and a dream. Not to mention she had a pretty cute older sister too, who joined us for part of the session and […]
