Sometimes that’s all it takes. A quick “hi” in one of your college classes. That’s how Molly and Luis met. And now, almost a decade later, they chose to celebrate their commitment to each other in an intimate ceremony and celebration with their closest friends and family at Origins Cafe at Carefree Gardens in Cooperstown, New York.
Read MoreI am having a blast getting to know this year’s Cooperstown area high school seniors through their portrait sessions. It’s a fun opportunity to work toward having their personalities shine through in their images — whether they are extroverted, introverted, or a little of both.
Read MoreI have memories of this high school senior from when she was in second grade! Then, I didn’t see her for years, and now, here she is — what feels like almost six feet tall and trying to decide what college she wants to attend (!).
Read MoreI feel extremely fortunate to have been documenting this family’s milestones since before this little one arrived! And now, they are running around, crashing through blackberry bushes…
Read MoreI have to thank Regan for pushing me to start photographing small wedding ceremonies. When we chatted a year ago, I explained my focus was families, babies and toddlers. She was so relaxed and open-minded about her event I just had to be part of the day.
Read MoreI love meeting families experiencing Cooperstown for the first or second time. I have the opportunity to be a mini tour guide on portrait sessions as we explore some of the beautiful spots downtown together.

Read MoreWe met near Cooperstown for this session full of fall vibes. Filled with butterfly chasing and some exploring, my time with this family of five flew by.
Read MoreThis session took place on the first day of fall, and when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find an array of flowers still in bloom. It was the perfect place to stroll with this curious and independent 4-year-old, who will become a big sister later this fall.
Read MoreI’m always in awe when I have the opportunity to meet these little ones so early in their journey. Baby girl was about six days old when I photographed her.
Read MoreI thoroughly enjoyed my time with this family. I still can’t believe the energy these boys had -- and after a full day of activities. These kids didn't stop moving the entire session, and they certainly kept me on my toes!
Read MoreWhile Amelia was a little shy at times for her portrait session, there were a few things that brought out her smile: parents Amie and Matt, a favorite stuffed snowman, and some vanilla frosting.
Read MoreThere is definitely value in the traditional wedding ceremony and reception, but experiencing Kim and Brett’s intimate elopement offered a whole new perspective on exchanging vows.
Read MoreIf there was one thing I could guarantee about my upcoming family photography session with Kery, it would be to expect an adventure. We had planned a Sunday afternoon session at several locations on her family's property, and the last message I received from her before we were meant to meet was, "Bring your rainboots. :)"
Read MoreCade and his parents joined me on a beautiful fall day at Brookwood Gardens in Cooperstown. We spent some time wandering the paths down toward the lake, with a little game of tag thrown in for good measure -- one of Cade's favorites.
