THE JOURNAL

A handful of love. There is no place more safe than in the arms of your mother. Days feel so long but this season with your tiny newborn is gone in an instant. That surreal feeling of walking around in a blur, motivated by the sounds of hungry little cries while catching that sweet baby […]

How to tell stories of your family through imagery.. Try it at home on a weekend or when the kids are on break from school! Start with a fun activity. Get a wide, pulled back shot to set the scene. Come in closer to show what is happening.  Get detail shots of tiny hands at […]

This beautiful momma and her little boy are so adorable together, waiting with sweet anticipation to meet the newest addition to their family, a baby girl. We had the dreamiest maternity session right in my backyard. I wanted a minimalist feel, using a simple white sheet hanging from some hedges while momma wore a flowy white dress. We were […]

I tried something a little different and had some in-studio motherhood sessions.

Whether your littles are super happy and smiley, or in a mood and need a few extra […]

An in-home tropical paradise location with some really beautiful mother daughter moments! I loved this sweet session! I feel like I am finding my groove with the Portra family of film stocks. I still have some Fuji 400h I am not quite ready to part ways with, but Portra is becoming a new friend! Shot […]

In the thick of it with these two little ones! All the snuggles and smiles that come with six months. Baby turned lady and the assertion of independence that come with two years. Believe it or not, these are days that will surely be missed. Soak in every single bit of it! 

Baby Sydney at 5 weeks. I really cannot get enough of her spiky black hair. She is so adorable!! It was pretty dark and started raining when I arrived for this in-home session so we moved out to their super cute bohemian styled patio. I loved everything about it and the pups even hung out […]

I love all the newborn details. It often hurts to remember how long ago it was for me now, but also awakens me to the fact that these are the things I would want to never forget. A tiny warm baby on your chest. Drowsy little eyelids, fingers wrapped in your hair, open mouth sleeping […]

Mary and I photographed Lauren + Fran’s wedding back in 2015 at the Saturn Club in Buffalo, NY. It was one of the first weddings we ever photographed and it was so beautiful. The people we met that day were so amazing and we are lucky to still call many of them friends. I remember that wedding […]
