The weather was absolutely perfect.  Patrick and I had decided to go apple picking before an afternoon engagement session.  As we set out for Linvilla, it was hard not to feel a perfect sense of relaxation.  The day could not have been more perfect.  Crisp blue skies and just a hint of autumn in the air.

From the moment the wheels touched down in Ft. Lauderdale we were ready for relaxation.  We grabbed our bags from the carousel, picked up our rent-a-car and cruised down the narrow strip of highway that leads to Mile 0.  Patrick and I were visiting Key West, Florida for the first time and we already had […]

Senior year of high school is a great year of growth and discovery.  Many students are applying to college and thinking about what will come next.  I love capturing more than just a “Cap & Gown” picture and showing who each student truly is.  Check out Emily.

It was a beautiful, crisp fall day in Huntington.  Patrick and I were riding across Lake Champlain on the ferry toward Burlington and it was obvious this was going to be a wonderful day for Ben and Serena’s wedding!  As we pulled up to Sleepy Hollow Inn, the inspiration hit!  Everything about Ben and Serena’s big […]

We met up with Dave and Jules in the East Village for this amazing engagement session.  Dave and Jules used to live in East Village and we began their session in the park where they used to spend their weekend mornings.  From there we wandered the city and found a community garden and a really […]

We met up with Jaclyn, Robert and Billy at Marsh Creek State Park for this gorgeous fall engagement session.  Their energetic pup Billy was absolutely adorable with his excitement over his parents getting hitched!  Can’t wait for their May wedding at the Mendenhall Inn !
