Road Trip August!

August is full of road tripping for us. Our first one was to visit our favorite New Hampshire family. We love going to visit them–the boys all get along so well, and I love visiting my sister-in-law. She’s also a photographer, which means we always have lots to talk about–we discuss our latest favorite things […]

The Washburn Family | Rochester, NY Family Photographer

I had the privilege of meeting this adorable family for the first time during our family session. If there’s one thing that I love, it’s a kid with dimples and an adorable grin to boot. And this little man had both! His sister warmed up for me by the end of the session, so I’m glad […]

The Groupon that Almost Wasn’t

It’s no secret. I use Groupon all the time, and even more so now that they constantly have 20% off coupon codes. The problem is that we don’t always find a way to use them by the time they expire. Usually you don’t have a ton of time–and that’s how they get you. There have […]

Spontaneity- Nothing Fancy

We were waiting for out of town family to arrive the other night and the boys were getting antsy.  They didn’t want to stray from the front yard in fear that they would miss the “pulling in” celebration. So we were just hanging out in the front. And we may have jumped the gun a […]

The Power of the Falls

For nearly twenty years, I lived just a handful of miles from Niagara Falls–I have been there a ton of times. But when you live so close, you never “spend a day” at the Falls. You just go for a quick trip, look at the Falls, ooh and ahh briefly and then be off on […]

Sarah & Max | A Chautauqua Lake Destination Wedding

Chautauqua Lake–a beautiful place to have a wedding. And for almost all of the people that attended Sarah and Max’s wedding, it was their first time there. It was a destination wedding of sorts–nearly the entire guest list was from other parts of the country–Texas, California, Canada, and many other places. Sarah’s Aunt and Uncle […]

Weddings, Red Wings and Backyard Jungles, Oh My!

My handsome hubby was a groomsmen in his good friend’s wedding this past weekend. I had a wedding of my own to shoot, so sadly, I couldn’t be there. I hear I missed out on a great party (and missed out on seeing him in his fancy attire!). My friend Sarah took a few pictures […]

Country Love Birds | Rochester, NY Engagement Photographer

Stacy and Adam were so much fun during their engagement session. I could tell when I pulled in and started talking to Stacy that she was nervous about the session–and Adam was totally laid back and chill, probably not really sure what to expect. By the end of our shooting time, Stacy was giddy and […]

One Month Down

July flew by far too quickly. Days were whirlwinds of activities, playing, photo shoots, birthdays, soccer and impromptu little family dates. And in the meantime, my blogging was inexistent. So this post is full of lots of images rounding up our last couple weeks of July. August is full of family time–We have so many […]

Lori & Jim | A Lockport Locks Wedding

Having your wedding at Lockport Locks? Pretty epic if you ask me. And Lori and Jim‘s wedding didn’t disappoint any of their guests. Cocktail hour was on a boat, traveling down the historic Erie Canal. The Lockport Locks website describes what we did as, “”locking through” and being raised the 49 ft. elevation of the […]
