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.

I had the privilege of photographing the lovely Diewald family for a documentary session model call back in April 2024. Liz and I have connected a few times because of mutual connections, and she is also an amazing photographer in the area! I was thrilled when Liz and her family expressed an interest in getting […]

In-Home Documentary Session in Rotterdam, NY

I have photographed Devin, Paul and their children a number of times already; and every time is a treat! This time was even more special because I got to photograph their newest addition, little Parker.

Family Session in Albany’s Washington Park

To say this family is one of my favorites would be an understatement. I have worked with the Peters’ clan twice in the past two years and I love getting to be around them, let alone photograph them. They are so sweet together and you can so obviously see all the love that is shared […]

Fall Family Session at Normanskill Farm

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Alyssa and her beautiful family around Christmas time 2020. And what better way to celebrate the upcoming holiday season than visiting a local Christmas tree farm? I had the little ones do some “boring” posing to start because I knew they’d get antsy and sure enough, the minute […]

Alyssa & Family

Violetta signed up for my Front Steps Project back in March/April, and oh my gosh, what a nice family. When Violetta reached out to me afterwards regarding getting some autumn photos in celebration of her daughter Edith graduating high school as well as some fun family photos, I didn’t hesitate to say, “Yes! Gimme a […]

DeRosa Family

Melissa reached out to me for some family & graduation photos a while back, and I was thrilled to get the chance to photograph her and her sweet family. We met up at Thacher Park on a gorgeous night (I mean just look at that sky!) and had fun getting these guys comfortable in front […]

Melissa & Family

Now is as good a time as any to get back into blogging. Oopsies. I’ve been wanting to share this session since I photographed it (so many months ago!), but I figure now that it’s the week of Jessie & Bran’s marriage, this would be the perfect opportunity! Jessie and I met working at the […]

The Cosmes

I have known Gabby and Christian since they were tiny when I used to babysit Gabby’s best friends Ava, Mia, & their sister, also named Gabby. Talk about confusing, haha. It was always fun to see the kids play with one another outside of school or on the playground. While I don’t know Gabby and […]

Quarantined Birthdays

When I extended an offer for a free family session in a Facebook group in mid-January, LaTisha reached out to me expressing an interest in getting family portraits taken. I was thrilled to work with this sweet family. On the day of their session, it was very chilly and the kids were bundled up in […]
