Sunset Beach Prom – Charleston, SC
Can I just say how amazing it was to be near the beach and to get to photograph this incredible prom couple during sunset on James Island in South Carolina? It was incredible! This sunset beach prom photo session was a little more rushed then we usually like but hey, sometimes you just have to roll with it. When the couple are both advanced student athletes with packed schedules you just make things work. I had to bust out my make-up skills (which are thanks to Crystal Gardner) in the car on the way to the beach. I think I did pretty good! Granted I had an incredible canvas to paint!!… Keep Reading
Anniversary Photo Session – Saratoga Springs, NY
Today these two celebrate their anniversary. I know I’ve mentioned it before but Anniversary Photo Sessions are fast becoming my absolute favorite type of session to photograph. As we go through life it changes us. Life is hard. But life is also good and joyful. In order to get through we need people that we can laugh with, grow with, cry with, and possible even yell with. When I photograph couples that have been married for several years or dozens I can see them seeing each other in such a different way. They see the years of ache, the years of laughter. They see the bad and the good, the… Keep Reading

Engaged in Glens Falls, NY
I got a message from these two while they were out at school. They were engaged! Woohoo! Travis has been in front of my camera many times before but I had only met Kristen a couple brief times. They had even had engagement pictures taken in Arizona. But she wasn’t in love with them. They didn’t feel real. Well we got to have the most amazing “REAL” session!! It was freezing and these two are so acclimated to the warmer areas of the country now that we had to be creative to keep Kristen from shaking right out of her boots. Thanks to Minky Mink and Spot Coffee! And yes we even… Keep Reading

Video glimpse – life at 2, a Lake George, NY lifestyle photographer session
This boy holds a special place in my heart because his Mamma is so special to us. I was a new Mom, sending my oldest baby away to school for the first time. Everything was new for me. New school. New Teachers. New do’s and don’ts. I wasn’t too worried about my son with his outgoing personality but I was worried about me! A few particular teachers made all the difference. They loved him, taught him, and nurtured him. This Mamma is one of those who just helped me know that he was in good hands and put my mind to rest and eased my heart. It’s been a delight… Keep Reading
