Sharing warm weather photos will make spring come sooner, right? Another gorgeous wedding on a lake in the Adirondacks 💕 I loved celebrating K+A - and getting shot of all the wedding guests was so special!!

Hey it’s me!! And if you want to learn how to use the camera sitting in your closet, I’m your girl!

This is my 5th year running photography classes in the capital region and I feel like I have found a system that works so well for my students. My classes are one-on-one and catered to the skills (or lack of skills!) my students bring to the table.

In a digital age, it can be tempting to record all the memories on your phone. But there is something about framing your subjects behind a lens that gives the photo even more meaning.

Are you a hobbyist? Aspiring professional? Or using the camera to capture your true passion and share it with the world? Or are you like me, bursting with creativity but can barely draw a straight line? 😉 I picked up a camera to create, and it has created a beautiful business that provides for my family as well as making art I am proud of.

What could learning your camera do for you?

Hands-on, in-person classes, local to Albany, NY.

This senior suggested a park I would have never thought to try. I love how these turned out… there is beauty everywhere ✨ This is the third sister of this family I have had the honor to photograph!! I am so thankful to see these families grow and honored to be chosen to freeze time for them 💕🥹

Have you ever wanted to learn how to use your "big camera"? The one you splurged on, or got as a gift, or inherited from family... You know the one! When you try to use it, it just doesn't do what you want it to, or produce images you like. Or maybe it's just too intimidating to try!

I have been teaching Photography 101 classes for four years now, and it has grown to be such a fun part of my business. I love hearing the "why" people give behind taking my class: "I am traveling to Japan" "I am the family photographer" "I want to take photos that inspire my writing" "I love micro photography" "I want to start my own business" "The kids are grown and I need a new hobby".

I am nearly full for the month of September, but I have several dates available in October if you are ready to jump in and learn! You can record moments of your life without the distracting notifications on the top of the screen... and check "learn how to use my camera" off your list!

What would be your "why"?

So happy I will have her home with me this year 💕

No real “resolutions” this year, but I am planning on taking a photo each week of my own family 💕 2024 was a beautiful year watching my kids grow, but I don’t have as many photos as other years of them just being themselves - and I hope to change that!

Previews sent for my first session of the New Year - we had a sunny morning that turned into a blizzard before I left, but all was calm and cozy inside ✨

Happy New Year to all! I love New Years, all the reflection of the previous seasons and excitement for what is to come- both personally and professionally 💕 Thank you to all who have entrusted me with your memory keeping this year 📸 or who have invested in themselves by taking one of my classes! I feel like I have landed in a sweet spot of continuing to find wonderful clients that feel like friends, and taking sessions and weddings that bring me joy 🥰 and teaching is just the cherry on top!

Another year with some of my favorites ✨

I am hoping to get some Christmas cheer on the feed soon; technically these were taken at a tree farm!!

I just delivered my last gallery of the year, so I’ll be switching from editing galleries to wrapping 🎁 during those precious preschool hours. ☺️

This moment! ✨ This family!

I love these sweet clients of mine 💕 they have been with me for years and every milestone is a joy to capture. And when I go to their house, their photo sessions are all over the walls 🥹🥹 Welcome to the family little L!
