Central Park Rose Garden never disappoints as a backdrop, especially with this gorgeous family. Love seeing them and how much the kids have grown. Both are naturals in front of the camera!

It's always a nice time hanging out with this lovely family. We met at a local park with a nice trail system that provided a great autumn backdrop. We weren't sure who ordered the fog, but it added a nice fall vibe!

It was pleasure to work with this Niskayuna Senior! I haven't done many Senior sessions, so I was thrilled for the opportunity. We chose the Stockade for his session and it was the perfect choice!

As it is said, "You're going places." Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!

We got a beautiful day for some portraits with this sweet family at the . I had never done a session here. There were so many cute spots!

Prior to this session, we met in the Stockade District for their son's Senior portraits. Stay tuned for that session!

Thank you Ballard Smith Family, it's always fun hanging with you all.

If you know this wonderful family, consider yourself lucky. I have loved watching them grow over the years! This year we met at the Pruyn House and it did not disappoint. Just take a look at their littles and how adorable they are.

This handsome senior is my 2nd cousin! I got the opportunity to take some portraits for him this past summer prior to our big family reunion. He was so chill, and all he wanted was to be in front of some water. He chose one of his favorites spots in Gresham. It was perfect despite the glaring bright sun. We made it work!

It's been a pleasure to watch this lovely family grow. Right before fall, we met at The Rose Garden in Central Park for family shoot to show off their latest addition. What a fun time we had despite having to bribe big brother with some treats for all those sweet smiles.

Fall Photo Sessions have begun! I'll be at the Pruyn House this Sunday, and received a cancellation for the 930 slot if anyone wants to grab it!

Today's crisp morning weather has me thinking about fall, and all the beauty and fun it has to offer.

Here's the fall foliage report so you can start planning those fall adventures, including a photo session with me!

It was fun working with this sweet lady!

Good Morning 2024! We welcome this new year with a focus on one of our new young entrepreneurs who are giving back to the community while growing her business, Ms. Sarah Rinaolo!

Anyone that knows me - knows that I love to cook, and I am always photographing my plates and drinks. So i decided to challenge myself and attend a food photography workshop in Vermont.

I learned about food styling and composition techniques. The group of women I met were all so talented and inspiring.

Thank you Clare for leading a thoughtful and creative full day workshop. I learned so much!

Which image one is your favorite?

Look at this gorgeous family! I so enjoy spending time with them. They make my job effortless and are so easy to work with.

We tried several weekends for photos, but the weather didn’t want to cooperate, and when we did meet our original location was closed. Overall, I think they came out great!

I met this beautiful family for their first newborn's portrait session many years ago. Since then we have had several sessions together! I love it when we meet up.

We always have fun and make the best of our sessions. Their daughters are such hams, which you can see in some of these photos. This year we tried the Vischer Ferry Nature and Historic Preserve in Clifton Park.

I had such a good time with this family at Central Park in Schenectady. They were super easy to work with and indulged me as we walked around the park stopping every 2 minutes to take photos. Thanks everyone!

In honor of Veteran's Day tomorrow - I would like to share these images from this shoot with Penny Lee Deere, an amazing Veteran that has done so much.

Penny began her military service in the Women's Army Corps and served in Desert Storm/Desert Shield during her 20 year career. When I met with her, I learned that she is co-creator of and lead facilitator for Arts4Vets, a group that serves as a lifeline for veterans by providing many forms of art therapy.

Man, how the fall is flying by! I went to Wisconsin and Michigan to visit family, and to see my niece get married. I wasn't sure I was going to get in some family fall portraits, and I was so happy I did.

Please enjoy the next few posts of some of the sweet families I got to work with. It's always great to see how much everyone has grown!
