I hope everyone had an amazing long holiday weekend! I’m back from my annual camping trip and will be catching up on emails and messages over the next few days

In the meantime, don’t forget there are only 5 days left to enter the mini-session giveaway!

Swipe to see a few pictures of my little ones in front of the early-bloom wildflowers. Note to self: never let a toddler see the bribery beforehand. I made the mistake of showing them the apple treats I promised for their best smiles, so this entire session was captured in brief windows between apple bites and small bouts of anger when I tried to take the apples away

Mini sessions are officially open for booking!

Life moves fast, and these short sessions are designed to freeze time for a moment—without the stress of a full-day shoot. Bring your laughs, your loved ones, and your authentic selves. Let's make some magic!

- Multiple dates available
- Limited availability
- All come with complimentary styling guide

A note for parents of little ones: I know, I know—late evening sessions and early morning sessions can be incredibly daunting when you’re factoring in early bedtimes and morning routines. It can feel like a gamble! But I promise you, pushing bedtime back or waking them up a little early (with snacks) just this once is worth every single second. The light at this time of day is unmatched, and the memories we capture will last a lifetime

Head to the link pinned here to see available times and lock in your session. I can't wait to see you behind the lens! And if there are any sessions you are hoping for, let me know and I'll see if I can open up a few more minis!

Showing these Florida visitors how we do summer nights in New York!

Part 2 of this gorgeous extended family session was an absolute whirlwind of laughter, dancing, and endless running. My main goal for the evening? Make sure these sweet kiddos (and maybe the adults too) slept great that night.

I’d say we succeeded. Swipe to see the magic!

"Let them be little, let them run free, and let them be held"

This session was a beautiful reminder of what childhood should feel like. We picked wildflowers, chased the sun across the field, and laughed until our stomachs hurt. My absolute favorite moments? Those giant, breathless giggles every time mom and dad swung them up into the air

Songs, dancing, and fields full of laughter. Part 1 of this gorgeous extended session is a favorite for sure!This sweet ...

Songs, dancing, and fields full of laughter. Part 1 of this gorgeous extended session is a favorite for sure!

This sweet family was an absolute blast to photograph. We got to frolic through the fields, sing at the top of our lungs, and even recruit some local chickens to help win over one very cute, very skeptical little lady. (Spoiler: it worked, and the smiles at the end were everything!)

Also, can we please take a collective moment to appreciate how absolutely stunning this mama is? She was literally GLOWING the entire evening

Swipe to see some of my favorites from the first half of their session, and stay tuned for Part 2, because the magic didn't stop here!

A magical fairy setup, a beautiful cake, a little bit of cake freight, and a beautiful sister bond

This sweet girl wasn't quite sure what to make of her cake at first, but luckily, big sister was on standby to demonstrate exactly what to do with frosting. Swipe to see the exact moment she realized cake is actually amazing (the jury is still out on bubbles)

Happy fairy first birthday!

The perfect recipe for a family session:

1. A gorgeous stroll by the water.
2. Endless giggles and tight hugs.
3. A mandatory gelato break to celebrate a job well done!

Wildflower Mini Sessions: Currently one date offered, but I will be opening up an additional date later in July and a few in August soon.

There is nothing quite like summer in Upstate New York, and the wildflower fields are officially getting ready to show off! I am so excited to open up bookings for this year’s Wildflower Mini Sessions.

Whether you want to update your family portraits, capture some sweet moments with your favorite person, or celebrate a high school senior, these sessions are the perfect, effortless way to get gorgeous photos in the great outdoors.
The Details:

- 15-Minute Sessions – Quick, fun, and easy (perfect for kids and partners who aren't big on long photo shoots!).
Location: Private location in Bloomfield NY
- The Vibe: Dreamy, sun-drenched, and surrounded by beautiful blooms.
- Timing: Running exclusively during golden hour to capture that warm, glowing sunset light!
- 20 Image guarantee (though if you've worked with me before, you know I love to under promise and over deliver)
- Turnaround time: 3 weeks

A quick note on the preview photos: The gorgeous sample images shown here were actually captured on a moody, foggy day—but I promise you, when that golden hour sun hits this field, the lighting is absolutely magical! You’ll love it either way, but we are aiming for all the warm, sunny glows for these upcoming dates.
