Hiya, friend! Welcome to my little corner of the web. Here you'll find tons of past sessions, session and wedding tips & tricks, and free resources regarding all types of photography.

Eden & Cuyler actually found me after my dad and a neighbor recommended me to them when Eden was looking for an engagement photographer in the Albany area on a neighborhood message board. Not only was I honored to have been recommended to her, but I was even more excited when her & Cuyler chose […]

I met Grace & Brendan at their session at the Normanskill Preserve in Albany in late September. Grace is so sweet and kind, and Brendan is equal parts kind and friendly. The couple brought 2 outfit changes and made an adventure out of having to change in the car. As uncomfortable and weird as that […]

Maddie & Elijah answered one of my model calls and I must admit, they did not disappoint. These cuties were so sweet together – young and clearly in love. We had a lovely golden hour session at the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany in September 2020. And we made some serious magic happen. They […]

Johnny and Joey answered a local model call I put on Facebook and we met at Normanskill Preserve in Albany for their couple’s session at the very end of the summer. While it was mostly overcast that evening, the sun decided to peek out at one point and these two basked in its warmth along […]

I had such a great time with Maria and Sean the first time around that I asked if they’d be interested in modeling again for me that fall. And man am I glad they agreed to it because these two in front of the camera is an absolute dream. Would you just look at how […]

Maria & Sean 2.0

All the way back in June (this is how far behind I am on blogging, guys, yeeeesh), I put out a model call for a couple or a family to help me with some promo photos for mini sessions I was planning on doing. As it turned out, I didn’t wind up doing ANY mini […]

Aidan, my youngest brother–aka the baby in the family–and his girlfriend Peyton are always down to model for me. I remember walking through Washington Park one afternoon with a friend, and spotted these gorgeous lilacs in full bloom throughout the park. I knew I had to put someone in front of them to take portraits; […]

Peyton & Aidan

My brother Aidan and his girlfriend Peyton were home from college for Christmas break, and I hit them up for a couple’s session at the New York State Museum. The lighting wasn’t ideal, and I would have much rather had our session outside, but upstate New York winters are brutal, and this one proved no […]

I have known Alex since our elementary school days at St. Teresa of Avila School way back when. When I heard that Alex was engaged to Zack and was looking to do some engagement photos, I was thrilled that they chose me to photograph them. We met at the New York State Museum, with the […]
