She asked “Really, what is more romantic than two people choosing to raise children together?” I know, I know. It can...

Have you ever thought about doing a portrait session in the winter? If not, I think you should! While the flowers of spring, grass of summer, and colors of autumn are all beautiful, I have to say I do love me a wintry scene.
With this in mind, I’m happy to share with you a quick...

I’ve been living in Central New York for about two years now. Yesterday, however, was the first time I drove to Ithaca; and already, I can’t wait to go back. The drive was filled with amazing rural landscapes, which I hope to photograph in the springtime, if not sooner. I didn’t have time {to stop...

Lauren is so gorgeous and so much fun to photograph, that we went a little over the usual two hour session. By the time, we got to the school to photograph her “track” portraits, the wind was blowing us...

Can someone be cute as a button, sophisticated, glamorous, as well as adventurous and spirited? I think so. Meet Sara…

My favorite images of the seniors that I photograph always happen during the personality portraits. The yearbook portrait is just as important, however, and I realize that I need to start sharing some of these photographs. There is no better place to start than with the adorable Ali…
