Clare was born and raised in Albany, New York and services her hometown & additional surrounding areas for all your family & wedding photography needs.
Clare makes a mean buffalo chicken dip (ask her for her recipe!), is terrified of outer space, loves lots of color, football (GO BILLS!), & all types of LOOOVE. She has been photographing families and weddings for over seven years, and it really is her true bread & butter.
When she's not running around photographing, you can find her chugging coffee, messing around with a new creative project, or snuggling with her husband Vincent and their cuddly fur baby, Minnie (a beagle mutt).
Other important things to know:
- Clare is 1 of 5 siblings (aka chaos = the norm)
- Clare is the biggest, sappiest, hopeless romantic (& will never be afraid or embarrassed to admit it!)
I grew up on the best street EVER and after not living home for nearly 8 years, I am back on the same block. And now we live exactly 9 (!) houses away from my childhood home.
We've had our sweet Minnie for 10+ years, and you'll see her a lot around here (she's just too cute not to photograph all day long!). Consider my unofficial mascot!
We've been together for 16+ years. We got married at 27 years old in 2018. And our wedding was the reason I got in to wedding photography in the first place!
