i spent my last day of may, my favorite month of the year, documenting these cuties — and i wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!

i always tell my couples that if there is anything that we can do to make your session truly represent you and your relationship, let’s freaking do it! taylor and hayden decided that they wanted to do their session at their home with their CUTIE pets, 3 doggos and 3 goats!!! holy cow we had the best freaking night

i will be obsessed over this gallery forever, these are the nights that i absolutely live for 🥰🌊🌞🌸

highly recommend pulling a derek + meredith and sneaking away on a ferry boat on your wedding day 😍🌊⛵️

you guys already know that i love me some letchworth vibes ALWAYS 😍😍😍 i had such a blast getting to document sam + jake’s engagement session last night. these two have such a strong friendship within their partnership, their love for each other is so apparent and beautiful. i missed summer nights like this 🥰

may is hands down my favorite month of the year! i absolutely love the flowers blooming everywhere that spring brings, i even love spring storms. may is the month that i am always intentional with being able to slow down and appreciate the beauty of mother nature that we often take for granted. i usually only offer a few session dates in may because i like to have more of an open schedule to take everything in and spend quality time with those closest to me before wedding season kicks into full swing. those few sessions in may that i do take on are so special to me. i had such a blast getting to explore one of rochester most beautiful and iconic locations with these cutie pies 🥰🌷

it’s the little in between moments for me 💕 slowly getting back to work today after 2 full weeks of traveling! i’m off to a couples sesh in a few hours capturing the last remaining lilacs as a stunning back drop. i just freaking love what i do 🌷

the most magical week spent exploring the desert 🏜🌵

some fun disco flash vibes to start your thursday morning 😘💃🏼🪩
