    Sarah’s senior portraits started off on the outer harbor near a light house that Sarah holds dear. This light house has a stunning view of the city so I can see why she loves it there. Sarah isn’t a fussy senior, her hair flew wild and she didn’t feel the need to change […]

Elopement turns into beautiful cocktail reception! Rachel and Matt, if you didn’t know, eloped while visiting Florida to attend the Buffalo Bills game in Miami. What could be more exciting than a pop up wedding, beer and the Bills? If you don’t know than you are not from Buffalo, NY. Clearly. This adorable couple flew […]

There is nothing I love more than driving along the side of back roads and finding a portrait location that I NEED to use. This location has been on my radar for a few years now and I am so happy that I finally got a chance to use it! What a dream it was. […]

Little Luca has turned one! She is a lover of bubbles but does not love hats! Her smile is infectious. Marissa, Gabe and big brother Eliot just love this sweet girl! You can see it in their faces.   A perfect family on a perfect early morning!      Can we talk about this dreamy […]

There is nothing like getting to know a family while walking a beautiful landscape! These kiddos are giving their parents a run for their money and they love every minute of it. I truly love photographing a family with little ones. The more they are in front of the camera the more comfortable they become […]

I LOVE this family! That is all. They have to be the sweetest and kindest bunch of goofballs that I have ever had the pleasure of photographing.   We met at Chestnut Ridge for a quick session on a wonderful evening. A communion and a 6th birthday definitely warrant updated portraits, for sure! The light […]
