lAURA & MATTHEW

This session was filled with double the cuteness! I’ve known Alexa since high school so I was SO excited when she reached out to me about scheduling a family session while I was home in Rochester, NY for the week. We were in the same competitive dance class at Jody B’s Studio and now we both are married with two kids! How time flies!!! It was so wonderful to see her and meet her beautiful family!

The village of Pittsford, NY with its classic main street and beautiful Schoen Place by the Eric Canal provided the perfect location for Brittany’s senior portraits. There were colorful buildings and potted flowers on store fronts as well as the peaceful path along the canal with bridges in the background.

The innocence of a child is truly captivating. I think that’s why I just love photographing babies and children. They aren’t self conscious yet, they just happily themselves. Their eyes are my favorite…that’s where the innocence shines through. Their gaze is so pure.

I rarely do spontaneous things. I’m a stay at home mother of two. My days consist of laundry, cooking and playing with babies. Very routine, very predictable life. But when I heard that Katie and Jorge were looking last minute for a photographer for their Atlanta, GA wedding reception at Hudson’s By the Lake, I looked at Matthew and said “sooo……how hard is it to get to Atlanta?”

You know its a fantastic session when you’re shooting and just freaking out about 1) your beautiful couple and 2) the perfect light!! And then you get home and can’t wait to start editing!! Guys, this session has some of my most favorite pictures I’ve ever taken! Seriously, I can’t stop scrolling through Deb and Mike’s post!!

This was an incredibly special session. True friendship can withstand time and distance. True friendship is something so good for the soul. True friendship is something that gives us a taste of God’s love for us and how heaven will be. Liz and Erin have been friends since high school. Though they have lived states apart, they have remained friends. But what makes this session SO incredibly special is the next chapter of their story that is unfolding.

When a senior’s FAVORITE flower is sunflowers….you FIND a sunflower field for her senior portrait session!! I found this beautiful field FULL of sunflowers for Abby’s senior portraits! It was SO worth the drive!

11 days NEW! This sweet baby boy was such a joy to photograph! Little Luca graced the world with his presence 11 days before his due date ! So that means I was photographing this little guy on his actual due date! I kept saying to Annie all through the session, “I can’t believe he’s here! I feel like I was just shooting your maternity photos!!”

Just as a heads up….this a very Grace-Full post. Lots and lots of photos of her! I only realized this once I started editing the photos that I didn’t have many of John, but that OK there’s lots of him in other months!

This is Charlotte….the floating rainbow unicorn.

She resides in Vermont at my Grandparent’s home on Lake St. Catherine. She is a lovely addition to a place that is filled with already amazing memories for me. My grandparent’s home, which we call the Camp, is nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont on a beautiful glacier formed lake in the town of Wells, Vermont. I have visited this place my entire life.
