Read MoreI wanted to talk a little bit about the term "Lifestyle" since it is one that is quite often thrown around in our industry and it is what people of use to describe my work.

Read MoreRead MoreI enjoy focusing on God and his goodness of creation power. When I was a little girl I was so intrigued and enamored with just the intricacies of Nature. I truly enjoyed studying all of the different types of flowers and insects. I have always had this natural yearning to know more and to work with what God has put here on this Earth.
As I got older, God just called my heart so heavily to strengthen my Fatih. It made me appreciate his creation so much more. To know that everything we see on the ground is either edible or can be use medicinally or therapeutically. Even how things grow in the seasons according to what our body needs.

Read MoreOkay, now let’s talk about Autumn and Blake’s big day on October 17th 2020. I could see just how nervous Autumn was when I entered the Bridal Cabin but her nervous were more of the large crowd she would be in front of, never about marrying Blake. That was something she has waited her whole life for and finally the day had came and everyone was super excited! Autumn was surrounded by all her best friends and closest family members. There was love bouncing off the walls of the cabin and it made me feel so comfortable around everyone. Seriously, I felt like I was part of the gang which always means the world to me.

Allison was Laura’s Maid of honor and was an amazing one at that and Ben was known as the guy in the cool shirt who dances good.

Read MoreRead MoreShane and I are high school sweethearts and have been together 16 years. Married for 5 of those. Our journey has been amazing but we have just been missing 1 thing-children and the fulfillment of our desire to be parents. We love kids and helping them to be successful, have fun, and constantly learn something new. We are both unable to have children and have tried for 5 years to become pregnant. Many doctors, tests, and negative pregnancy tests have led us to this journey: Adoption!

Taylor and I arrived at Katie’s Parent’s house which was only a few miles away from the venue, and our breath was taken away at the sight of Katie! She looked like a Princess and her dress was absolutely to die for! Copper Roux was such an elegant venue. Taylor and I absolutely loved the warmth inside the building and it truly made for the perfect wedding venue for Katie and Jarrods big day.
Read More5. You were a single mother for a while, do you have any tips you would like to give to other single mom's out there?
Don’t give up hope. Times get hard sometimes and you may feel like you’re drowning. Finding a support system (whether that be your family or friends) can help tremendously. With my tribe there is nothing Me and Ella couldn’t accomplish.
Read MoreListen – We’re not just “taking photos”, look at it as we are building a time capsule. We’re immortalizing a moment in time that you can revisit again and again for the rest of your life and your children’s lives, and your grandchildren’s lives (and so on and so on). The people you are today – the opinions you hold, the music you listen to, your weird eating habits – get lightly salted and spritzed with lemon (for freshness), packaged up, vacuum-sealed, and free-thrown into the capsule for your future selves to look back on and remember.
Read MoreYOU GUYS!!!!!!!! I am beyond excited to share these images with you all. When Shawna reached out to me to photograph a more intimate at home maternity session for her I wanted to scream for joy! This is the session to my heart. There is just something so magical about photographing a Mama connecting with her unborn child in a more raw form of skin to skin.
Have you ever heard of the amazing benefits that Skin to Skin care has not just for a newborn but for the mother as well?
Read MoreWithin the last two years I went through a big identity shift for my newborn work. I still photographed a few sessions in a more classic, posed manner, but at the same time I realized that more than perfect curly pose I preferred to capture the moments which tell the story. The story of joy, intimacy, and unconditional love.

I have been counting down the days until we were able to meet with them and capture these moments for them both. And can we talk about how beautiful the drive from Nancy towards Albany is.
