We know this park inside and out, we’ve been here so many times. It’s small enough that it’s not overwhelming, but there are enough different activities that the kids have so much to do. As we always do, we stayed overnight one night so that we got two days in the park. It was a […]

Rochester, NY Newborn Photography Favorites 2015 It’s no secret. I love newborns. They are so squishy and wrinkly and downright adorable. But on the contrary to that, it’s also no secret that they are the hardest subjects to photograph. Not only do they pee and poop on everything (and sometimes spit up), but they are […]

When you have three kids, it’s interesting to see their individual personalities come out as the years go on. My two bookends are a tiny bit over six years apart. They look alike. They both had an intense love for balls at a young age. And they both have no idea how to play. Funny […]

Rochester, NY Baby Photographer Babies. Children. The best little humans in the world. There are few things better in this world than capturing the essence of childhood in a photograph. Children and babies truly make the best photo subjects. Their emotions are pure and raw and they are so unpredictable that it makes photographing them […]

Today I had mom’s group. It’s called MOPS, which I will be the first to admit is a silly name, but it stands for “Mothers of Preschoolers”. And this of course doesn’t make any sense either because you don’t have to have a preschooler to be in the group–you just have to have a child of […]

Three words that […]

Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer | Layla   This is the second post this week that has featured the beautiful family of an old high school friend! Donna and I go way back to middle school–we were both athletes and we hung out down by our “girls athletic association” room all the time by the time […]

My day is filled with noise. A lot of little people noise. Momma, momma! Play ball with momma? A giggling toddler and soon to be six year old. A squeaking recorder belting out Hot Cross Buns over and over. A video game or a twenty minute Paw Patrol show or the dryer clunk clunk clunking the wad of […]

Rochester, NY Family Photographer This beautiful momma and I go way back to elementary school–and all the way through high school. We played softball together and shared the role as “captain” on JV. I was so thrilled that they were willing to make the drive to see me this Fall for a family session. We had […]

We have only a super small number of immediate family members that live within an hour and a half of us. Three to be exact. My mom, my step dad and one of my brothers. The closest other immediate family members we have near us live over seven hours away. It’s heartbreaking most of the […]
