You guys! There is never a dull moment in the lives of parents who are out numbered. Kathleen and Kevin have their work cut out for them with these little ones!  Their house in no doubt filled with lots of love and chaos!          The Kubera’s really toughed it out for this session. […]

You guys! I was chatting the other day with some colleagues of mine. Our main topic was the fall weather. The terribly rainy days and the cold wind force us to reschedule. We had all agreed that having to cancel our scheduled portrait sessions is one of the hardest parts about being outdoor portrait photographers. […]

There are moments in life. The moments that are so significant that time seems to slow, stop even. Jordan and Michelle’s entire wedding day felt like several of these moments place into a jar to be tucked away forever.         These two were married under an oak tree on their personal property […]

You guys! Do you remember combing through your moms photo drawers, her bins, her albums looking for that certain portrait. A portrait that you were dying to see! I certainly do. The smell of glue, the crinkle of the plastic protecting the images. My mother used to yell at me EVERY time I would go […]

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 […]
