Rochester Newborn Photographer How precious is this handsome fellow? He came to my studio with his older brother and sister, and they were clearly enamored with him. And also, they were a bit enamored with having their pictures taken. I had a few pros in the studio! I just adore this family and we’ve had […]

And we’re back . . .

Just like that, school is back in session. We all prefer to have no responsibilities of course. Carter came home from school saying (through tears) that he had a headache at school. And then he promptly fell asleep on my bed. He’s never fallen asleep after school before. I guess going back after nine days […]

Rochester, NY Family Photographer | Autumn Goodness

Rochester, NY Family Photographer | I typically shoot my session either on my property, or at a handful of local area parks that I’ve grown fond of. Every once an awhile I have a family who is interested in doing their session on their own property. Of course, this makes me nervous if I’ve never […]

Climbing Out

We finally climbed out of the germ zone in the Chase House. Last week was a little rough–the dreaded stomach bug hit all of our kids, so I was stuck at home for most of the week. But we are in the clear (knock on wood), for now at least. We had a few days […]

Rochester, NY Family Photographer | Beach Beauties

Rochester, NY Family Photographer | It has snowed about a foot and a half outside my window today. And it’s still coming down. Things are closed left and right. And earlier today, even if we wanted to leave our house, we wouldn’t have been able to because we were snowed in–there is no way we could’ve […]

Six.

Dear Carter, Tomorrow you will be six, and I wish it weren’t so. I have been looking back at old pictures lately and you were such a cute toddler that I just want to go back in time and have toddler Carter back for a bit longer. Gone are the days when you played Imaginext […]

Airigami | The Fine Art of Folding Air

This past weekend, we ran Downtown in the knick of time to see this amazing display. Apparently they have a yearly display–we will be sure not to miss it in future years! According to their website (Airigami.com. . . a clever enough name in itself), they “are artists who specialize in creative content made entirely out […]

Rochester, NY Family Photographer

Rochester, NY Family Photographer | This session brings me back to the glory of summer. Of sand between toes. Of seagulls and little waves and squeals of delight as the water splashes on little legs. I love brave families who are willing to venture into the land of the unknown with their littles when we start […]

Toilet Action . . .

What do you do when you are stuck at home with a little who has the stomach bug and know you won’t be leaving for a couple of days? Start potty training the toddler! Yes. . . that’s crazy at it’s finest. Lots of toilet action going on in this house. But I think it made […]

Adorable | Rochester, NY Child Photographer

Rochester, NY Child Photography Our session with this little cutie was rained out on our first date. Well, more like “thundered” out. And when there’s thunder, I don’t do sessions. Safety first!  Our second date was a bit chilly, but looking back at these images, the colors were just amazing–some flecks of Autumn gold, mixed […]
