I'm all about the not-so-posed-but-posed look. I'll help direct you as needed every step of the way. Generally, I set you up in some great light, tell you to get in real close, and just have fun with each other. It's seriously that simple.

I believe in natural, fun, low-key, REAL, in-the-moment moments in my photography.

wedding + portrait photographer

Clare was born and raised in Albany, New York and services her hometown & additional surrounding areas for all your portrait or wedding photo needs.

Clare makes a mean buffalo chicken dip (ask her for her recipe!), is terrified of outer space yet loves weird sci-fi shows like The Expanse, and loves lots of color, the Buffalo Bills, and all types of LOVE.

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 two cuddly fur babes, Minnie (a beagle mutt) and Chewy (a Dutch lop bunny).

The gal behind the lens and always #1 in your fan club.

hey, I'm clare!

Born, raised & still living in upstate New York

I grew up on the best street EVER and after not living home for nearly 8 years, I am back on the same block. Kinda weird but also I low-key kinda love it.

And i live 9 houses away from my childhood home

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!

we've been together since we were 18

I married my high school sweetheart

This is a fun new endeavor I have taken on recently, and while I'm not trying to go crazy, it's been an extra side hustle adventure. If you want to learn more or purchase a candle, check out my website here.
