as we embark on some pretty big life changes i’m again reminded of the importance of photographs.  we are going to be moving soon… leaving the house my husband and i first lived in together, where we were when we got married, had two children… lots of big memories were made there… i am so […]

we totally lucked out with this session… the weather predicted rain for the day – meaning its dark inside and crummy outside… lucky for us – it ended up overcast and fairly light! we started out inside (in the room bennett is usually NOT allowed to play in!! lucky little dude!), explored around the house […]

When is the best time for family portraits?  Is it when all the kids are old enough to listen (wait…. does that actually happen??? ever????)?  Is it before the kids can walk?  Is it a certain time of year?  Or a certain season of life? i’m here to tell you its all the time.  its […]

what better day to share a super cute couple than valentines day?!  a few weeks ago i had the pleasure of spending my morning in kendell and cody’s unique downtown troy home.  they claimed they were “going to be awkward” in front of the camera…. they were far from it.  from snuggling to dancing and […]

i’ve known jess and jon for a while working together at the hospital as nurses for years – and it’s been fun watching their relationship grow over the last few years.  i was truly honored when they asked me to photograph their intimate wedding up in burlington. When we awoke saturday morning the streets were covered in […]

one of the things i always like to talk to families about is my philosophy and my style.  it’s important to understand what it really means to be a lifestyle photographer.  there are lots of very talented photographers out there with lots of very different styles – documentary, classic portraiture and lifestyle and a mixture […]

i’ve been able to watch this family for quite a while… and watching them grow has been pretty darn awesome.  when their youngest girly was born we had a fresh 48 and home newborn session – which are both some of my favorite sessions.  their mama – the most talented anna serena – decorates their home […]

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 […]
