This fall family session in Saratoga Springs was cold but gorgeous! It might have taken until the adults were freezing for the kids to warm up to the camera but it was oh so worth it for these smiles! We played at their house in their incredible back yard, roasted marshmallows and then headed over to Spa State Park. We hung upside down, jumped off walkways and ran, and ran, and ran! I loved watching this family and seeing the love they have for each other. These two little ones are so lucky to have a big brother that treats them so well and an amazing mom! Not only is… Keep Reading
Saratoga Lake Family Session
Despite being a tad bit unseasonably cool this Saratoga Lake Family Session could not have been more perfect! The love and laughter had me grinning from ear to ear through the whole session. Don’t these images just make you want to grab your people and head to a beach and out on a boat?! Winter is coming. *gasp* These memories of Saratoga Lake and it’s gorgeousness should get us through, right? Thank you Perkins family for showing us your light and trusting us to capture this moment in time!
Photography Session on the family farm
Brittany emailed me months ago. We’ve talked and emailed and done a lot of planning back and forth over the last few months. Then the big day came for their photography session on the family farm and the forecast predicted rain. Lots of rain. Then the forecast lightened up!…but still showed rain. Brittany’s family has owned this land for many years and it used to operate as a Christmas Tree Farm. It was the perfect spot for their family session. The only problem was it seemed to be sunny everywhere except over their home and farm! And it was spitting rain! We decided to make the drive and see what we… Keep Reading
Lake George Family Beach Session
This family was amazing! What troopers! Their family beach session was scheduled and planned for the hottest day during the recent heat wave! They were all up from downstate and rescheduling wasn’t an option. It’s hard to go earlier with young kids and it’s even more difficult to stay happy when everyone is hot and tired but these guys succeeded! We shot this family at a private beach at Grandma and Grandpa’s lake house. Needless to say on a hot morning like that we had the beach to ourselves! The mountains were hazy and hard to capture but we made it work, splashed in the water, got creative and eventually… Keep Reading
Roger’s Park Family Session – Bolton Landing, NY
Roger’s Park was glorious the night we met this family for a grand photo session and cake smash! I have known this Momma’s momma for years through the Bolton Landing Girlfriend’s Getaway. This year Danielle was able to sneak away and attend. We got chatting about her beautiful 1 year old and how fun it would be to document this huge milestone! Luckily family was coming into town for the big birthday party so we met at Roger’s Park in Bolton Landing, NY to capture this little girl and all those who love her! We played and laughed, threw a ball around, blew bubbles, and of course ate cake… Keep Reading
Beautiful Fall Family Session
This beautiful fall family session in Greenwhich, NY was magical! One of the best parts of capturing family memories is watching families grow and change year to year. This is one of our favorite families and we had so much fun! The kids are getting so big and I love my time with them. We take pictures and play and play. This year we had several jumping and “epic fail” images! I even got to just sit and talk photography with one of the older boys! Enjoy this sneak peek!!
Meet Liam – South Carolina
Liam’s sister had already had her Senior Photos taken so it was Liam’s turn to be in the spotlight. Liam is an active, active, active 7 year old boy. Liam has some special needs so his mother and I talked about how we could make this photo shoot fun for him without it getting too overwhelming. We were so lucky to have Mepkin Abbey almost all to ourselves on a gorgeous Saturday morning! It gave Liam the chance to run around and just be him! Getting him in focus really tested my skills! He shot me with a nerf gun, ran everywhere and anywhere, and rode his 4-wheeler down some… Keep Reading
Yaddo Gardens Family Session
Saratoga Springs is so gorgeous this time and year and Yaddo gardens if one of our favorite spots! The kids got together and surprised Grandma for Christmas with a custom family portrait session. What a great Christmas present! Debbie does not seem old enough to be a Grandma but what an amazing one she is! The kids love her and John and we had so much fun playing together at Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga Springs, NY. We had to stop the party several times to feed, burp, and put the baby to sleep. Everyone was so relaxed and patient. The non-baby grandkids were such troopers! Dan played “photography equipment reflector… Keep Reading
Family Session overlooking Lake George in Bolton Landing, NY
We had the most amazing extended family session overlooking Lake George in Bolton Landing, NY! This family got together during the holidays for a weekend of fun. We are so honored that they invited us to spend over an hour with them! We were so blessed with all the rain we’ve been having to have a beautiful day! We walked along Grandma & Grandpa’s home, checked out Grandma’s incredible gardening, rode a golf cart, ate some candy, and had a water fight! Not a bad day at the lake! It was so fun to watch this family come together and laugh and play together. We even had a surprise Hawaiian… Keep Reading
Glens Fall Sunrise Engagement Session
The weather this spring has made scheduling sessions difficult. We were however blessed with a gorgeous morning to walk around Crandall park and photograph these two and a few with their fur baby. I first photographed Jon & Alicia almost 1 and a half years ago while I was doing some photo sessions at the gym. Alicia always has a smile (a gorgeous smile might I add) and you can feel the kind spirit in her. She has a calmness in her very nature. Jon is quiet at first. He doesn’t like to hold still. He is an athlete, a gym owner, a teacher, and a trainer. All that adds… Keep Reading
