Here’s a secret: I don’t chase after wedding jobs. That’s honestly been the thing that’s served me well, because the brides and grooms that do find me are special and unique and they’ve crossed my path on purpose. And this cool couple is exactly that. First of all, they looked amazing Have I ever told […]
How did this happen?! My cousins are somehow seniors in high school, and time is a thief. I grew up in a town called Valparaiso Indiana. I moved away from my home town and all my family in 1998! I have now lived in NY for as long as I lived in Indiana. That’s crazy to […]
Every once in awhile, a client comes in and reminds you that what you do is actually incredibly important. I say on my website that everyone has a story to tell, and that I love being the one to help tell it. Well, this handsome guy came with a story. It’s his story to tell, […]

I never could have imagined how much I would love studio headshot sessions. Now, I LOVE me a pretty backdrop and being right on location. It gives portraits such an easy way about them, but there is something so stunning about a simple and straightforward studio portrait. The nomenclature of headshot really doesn’t do these […]
Kids these days are somethin’ else. I mean, they are freaking amazing. The love of dedication that this generation has is truly above and beyond. When they find something they love, they give their whole selves to it. I see this often in clients who play soccer, Lacrosse, or piano, or who are pursuing their […]
Uh, can we talk about the jeans, please? Never did I think that I would see the day that the jeans I wore in the 90s would be fashionable again. But here they are! Oversized, stone washed, and torn to shreds. They’re pretty much everywhere, and this girl rocks them. I just love the way […]
It’s so very important to take time to acknowledge and celebrate life as it happens. I have a very distinct memory of being somewhere when I was 16 and an “older” lady ( she was probably younger then than I am now) going on about enjoying your youth and being happy because time passes and then […]
