Watching a mom labor is a powerful moment in life to be present for, and not an easy one to describe. It’s been said that women reach to the heavens and come back with a star. Labor brings you to another world. One that makes you question and doubt. One that strengthens and empowers. We […]
Anyone who knows Sarah & Brian separately knows how sincerely sweet, funny, and completely charming they are, but when they’re together, they are so much more. Their connection is so authentic, and so genuine that it really is the kind of love you want to stare at all day, and makes you wonder how they […]
So I say this about a lot of people, but these two have a special place in my heart, so it goes without saying that these are two of my FAVORITE people on the planet. Their love is simple and genuine, and they celebrated one year of marriage this May. Congratulations guys! […]
Love is deep as the road is long, and this is only where it begins. So I’m pretty much the most sentimental person on the planet, so I think it’s easy to say that I have somewhat of a romantic heart. This engagement session takes the CAKE on romance! A rustic, country sunrise, a romantic […]

Scrolling through my social media feed, I was actually completely heartbroken by this article, “A plea for fathers to take more photos of mothers with their children.” I’m not sure what was worse, that mothers feel like their last resort to have a photo of them with their children was a blurry cellphone picture, or that […]
I’ve heard it a million times before, and in fact, at one point during my pre-kid life, I thought the same – why would anyone want maternity pictures? Your emotions are on edge, you feel uncomfortable and tired, and your body feels somewhat foreign to you. There are so many times that you might feel […]
While most were counting down the days to Christmas, this mom and dad were counting down the minutes to meet their son in the Family Birthing Center of Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson, New York.
