I was contacted by Zack’s friend Katie who had seen my comment on a post she had submitted on a Facebook thread. She wanted to find a photographer for Zack, who was proposing to his girlfriend, Erica. The next day. I had never done a proposal before and was pretty nervous. My thoughts kept saying, […]

It started out as any Friday morning did. My oldest daughter was in her virtual class and my youngest was napping. I had been using an App since August of 2017 to help me locate photography jobs. I love it(for clarification). Kara had posted she was looking for a photographer willing to kayak to a […]

I’ve had many brides and grooms ask, “What is a first look? Do I really need a first look?” My answer is always the same. I will explain what a first look is and how I execute it. I discuss a location first, then my second shooter gets the groom in place and I bring […]

This would be pushing out of my comfort zone and reaching out past my introverted fences. I always feel so drained (thanks, weird brain) after I am around a lot of people. I had fun and am really starting to learn much about myself as an individual and as a photographer. I knew I loved […]

I have a special place for styled shoots. I love finding great places to shoot, as well. Helena is one of my past brides. She agreed to help me out with this shoot. So, I can’t take all the credit of finding this place. The idea was all hers and I loved it!!! I love […]

Oh my goodness! So, a little background for my readers. Meet Emilie. I have known her for little over  2 YEARS. She first came to me when she found out she was pregnant(with Willow). She wanted to have me photograph her maternity pictures. I was excited(who wouldn’t be? She’s absolutely gorgeous)! She not only went […]

I got to experience something that has always held a special place in my life. Racing; FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND. My father and brother and myself drove up to Watkins Glen, NY in early September(I know–it took me over 2 months to post this).  It was nice to spend time with the two of them […]

Hello, everyone! I’m back(for the time being anyways). I must say that I have had the privilege of meeting some pretty amazing people lately. One newly-wedded couple, Katie and Nick have an incredible family member named Lola. Meet Lola! That face! I’m in love with these types of Portraits! Pets! Who’d of thought! But, yes, […]

How to stay warm in 20 degree snowy weather? Um, hot tea and fancy party gloves! Keeping her warm in between shots was difficult. We made four trips back inside the house to wrap in a fuzzy blanket. But she was excited to get her pictures done so she warmed up fast. With winter much […]

How do you establish yourself as a professional? What sets you apart? How do you make an impact? Where do you start? Round and round my head spun like a merry-go-round on a caffeine high. I had no idea- well actually that’s a lie. I did have an idea- many of them, in fact. I couldn’t get focused […]
