Wintry Red & White Maternity Session Pregnancy was one of my favorite experiences. Sure, it’s uncomfortable, and makes you super tired.  I also was not a cute pregnant woman.  Especially when pregnant with my daughter (sadly, I’m gonna get an “Amen” from some of my closest acquaintances…) I think maternity sessions are overlooked because for […]

This year seemed to fly by, but looking back at some of the happiest, most emotional moments, I have been transported back and totally overwhelmed with joy as I remember each and every wedding we were blessed to be part of this year.  2017 was a wonderful year to remember, and I wanted to share […]

There were little children running all around the bridal suite, so happy to be spending an entire day out of school AND being with their cousins.  The only thing louder than the noise and excitement of little people was Laura’s smile and enthusiasm!  Laura’s step-daughter, Danielle, carefully applied Laura’s makeup with the assistance of her […]

An Elegant and Timeless Wedding at Hamilton Farm We spent so much time with Samantha and Eric, that by the time their wedding day arrived on Friday, we knew half the family!  We had the pleasure of photographing Eric’s sister, Gabrielle’s wedding at Ninety Acres back in October, and she recommended me to Samantha.  Gabrielle and […]
