welcome

i have lots of goals for 2018… starting with working on myself, my business and setting goals… Some goals are more simple – like drink more water, get to yoga once a week, and some take a little more work – be more present in my life and crush some really big business goals… right […]

I’ve known Cat for quite a while… and when she asked me to photographer her long-awaited wedding day I was…. thrilled, excited, {nervous} and honored.  i knew that she had been dreaming about this day for a really long time… probably close to when she met matt way back in 2003.  i asked cat if […]

it’s not secret that i love fall… and wildhaven farm.  and this session had both of them in one!  in family sessions my goal is always to show families how remarkable the imperfect moments can be.  when i talked to meg before our session she said she wanted their kids to be able to look […]

these sweet girls were welcomed into the world a bit early – they surprised their parents and said they were ready to come out!! After a bit of a stay in the NICU they returned home one at a time and now have their complete family there.  you all know newborns just make me melt, […]

one of the absolute best parts of this job is watching kids grow up.  to be a silent observer of how a couple becomes a family, and then how that family unit progresses.  we did tighe’s newborn photos at his parents one bedroom flat in troy – this really awesome unique apartment full of natural […]
