Be my valentine!! Fun ideas for this year!
Saturday, January 14th, 2012Made for each other | Rochester Ny family photographer
Sunday, July 31st, 2011You know those couple who just seem to fit perfectly together? The kind of couple that just makes you feel like they were literally made for each other? Not in a cheesy, over the top gooey-romance type of way but the just a perfect merging of two people? Jordan and Sarah are that kind of a couple – and they have an added bonus of 2 adorable little boys that will melt your heart. I am fortunate enough to have made an awesome friendship with Sarah and feel so honored to be able to meet such incredible people. Thanks for giving me the chance to photograph your beautiful family. xoxo
You will be missed:-( | Rochester Family photographer
Thursday, July 21st, 2011I am so bummed that one of my long-time family clients just moved down South this month:-(. After photographing their family for almost 3 years I had to say goodbye- but hope it’s not forever! Hopefully they will come back up this way once Dave finishes his residency and then we can reconnect! OR I guess I’ll just have to make my way to North Carolina to see them!! Best of luck to you guys- you will be missed!!!
Before and after | Rochester child and family photographer
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011One of my favorite parts of this job is that I have the opportunity to see families grow over time. Watching former brides become parents, documenting maternity sessions to then have the pleasure of photographing their sweet little newborn, and then seeing them become little people is such a cool part of being a family photographer. I had the pleasure of photographing Melissa and Matt’s maternity session, their newborn session, and now Kian’s six month milestone. His parents are awesome- so genuine and loving and warm-hearted. And how cute is he???? Adorableness…. I could squeeze him all day!
Blog carnival- “Laughter”… {Rochester portrait photographer}
Sunday, July 17th, 2011I am so honored to be able to participate in this fantastic blog carnival with so many incredibly talented photographers!! Each month we will choose a theme and create an image that reflects it. Last month’s theme was “framed” and this month we chose “laughter”. I had a ton of images I could have used for this- but this one took the cake. Especially since it made me literally laugh out loud when I saw it. Little Mila was a ham throughout the session and reminded me SO much of Lola when she was that age. I love photographing two year old kiddos- it is one of the cutest ages, because they are starting to develop their little personalities and are completely unfiltered…. as evidenced by this photo:-)
Next up in the blog carnival is Grand Rapids, Michigan photographer Mary Beth Vreugdenhill! She’s awesome!!!
Lola turns 5! And other exciting news!
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011” A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer”- Author unknown
I can’t believe that my baby is now a 5 year old little girl. Although so much has happened in the 5 years since I was blessed with her, I still can’t believe how quickly time has gone and how fast she’s grown from a newborn to a soon-to-be kindergartner. Our little Lola is such a sparkling spirit- full of imagination, ideas, spit-fire, and kindness. I am continually taken by her will, her intelligence, and her ability to make people smile. Of course I would say this since I’m her mother, but I truly believe that this little girl is destined for great things. And I am so lucky to be her momma.
Happy Birthday sweet L.ots-O.f-L.ove-A.lways- you are so loved!!!!
Also, I am honored to have been nominated as a “Women to Watch” in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. To see the article just click here.
Magnificent Maddox and his marvelous parents | Rochester portrait photographer
Thursday, July 7th, 2011I am SO lucky to know this wonderful family, and to have had the luxury to photograph this little man (who, without being offering tmi, made my uterus literally ache)! Spending time with him was like cuddling a little piece of heaven, and his parents are the icing on the cake. Maddox has the coolest, most genuine, and loving parents ( and wonderfully doting Aunt Jill!)- and I’m so glad we’re friends:-).
Things I loved about this session: a parents pure adoration of their new baby, Maddox’s sweet little lips, having Aunt Jill as an assistant, cranking more heat in their house than had been seen in a while from my space heater, Maddox pooping all over Chad, seeing an incredible sisterly bond, willingness to try anything, their complete faith in me, lots of baby snuggles, friendship, genuineness, creativity, faith, and the knowledge that another baby has been born to truly loving and fantastic people! Thanks guys- you are the best!
BIG NEWS!!!!! We’re moving!| Rochester children’s photographer
Thursday, May 19th, 2011Well, it’s official!!!
As of June 1st we will be moving our studio and I am so excited!!! After a lot of soul searching we have decided to move literally right down the street to 4 North Main St! Located directly on the corner of main st and monroe we will be in the same building as Jackson and Hines, on the second floor. AND we’re right across from Starbucks and next to Thirstys 
, so depending on your beverage of choice you’re all set lol!
This new space is PERFECT for a natural light photography studio- wide open floor plan, HUGE floor to ceiling windows, gorgeous light- and after some mild apprehension I feel it’s the best decision for the business. While I LOVE on-location shooting and still do a ton of it, I found that a lot of my clients want to come to me, and we simply outgrew our current space. In addition to our new move we are going to be offering more collections (including some with digital options) that I feel will allow us to better serve a multitude of clients. PLUS, we will now be offering makeup application (for moms and teens- we’re steering clear of the child-beauty-pageant-star-look if you know what I mean) in addition to our sessions. Mom can pamper herself with some natural makeup while I photograph the kiddos and Dad can either swing by Starbucks for a coffee (or Thirstys for a cocktail lol) until we met up for the family portion of our session! Not sure about all of you but that sounds pretty sweet to me!! We will also be offering complimentary pre-session consults at the studio with each session so we can go into the shoot with a very clear plan about what we want to achieve from the day. With new gallery display options and a variety of custom products at the new space we feel that giving you a chance to meet with us before your session will only add to the custom experience we want to give each of our clients.
So, if over the course of the next few weeks you see me moving furniture and carrying paint cans you’ll know why! We have some fantastically fun ideas for our grand openings so stay tuned!!
And of course, it wouldn’t be a proper blog post without some images! I LOVE this family:-) Mom is one of the strongest, most fun, and kindest women I have the pleasure of calling my friend, and her boys could not be cuter. Enjoy!!
