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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I love the sun at any time of year, it’s true. Especially in the few minutes before it disappears over the horizon. But there is something about that sun in the colder months that makes it even better–and I think it’s because there are no leaves on trees, so it shines even brighter when trying […]

This little guy had the sweetest little baby face, with gorgeous baby blues to boot. We did most of his session just focusing on him, but then his beautiful momma hopped in a few pictures. And then his big sisters arrived after soccer and we let them crash the party too. They were so excited to […]

Just when I think I’m doing pretty well staying on top of things, I remember that I haven’t blogged all week. When one race horse is doing well, another one always is lagging behind–somewhere. Small victories for me this week: -Making a real dinner yesterday! It may not mean much to you, but it was […]

My children happily oblige to me taking their photographs. I’m not sure how I even got lucky with Sawyer, but he is so cooperative, it’s not even funny. He has spent a couple of hours the past few days getting out all of my Christmas decorations and helping me set up the studio for my […]

These two are quick! They are little monkeys–super fast and climbing all over everything. It’s a good thing there was one parent per child for our session. I literally giggled through the entire thing, because though it looks like they sat still for us, they were all over the place. I literally could not believe how […]

Some days my camera doesn’t come out often. . .but then I remember that I’ve promised to try to take a photograph every single day this year. I’ve missed some days of course, and more than often I remember during the day when two out of my three kids are at school. So that means […]

Rochester, NY Family Photographer  We had an extremely warm early September this year, and even though you can’t tell in these pictures, it’s was mid-eighties and super humid at our session. It’s funny in Rochester–you honestly never know what each day will bring. We sometimes have thirty degree swings in a twenty-four hour period. And […]
