Before Laura became one of the very best doulas on the planet, she says she was a “wanna be” photographer. The idea was that we would go to a park and she would take our family portraits and I would take hers. Interestingly, my kids did not cooperate at all (I’ll publish those pictures soon

Listen to Your Mother Rochester 2016
The amount of work that goes into a production like Listen to Your Mother Rochester is hard to appreciate unless you spend a little time backstage. The sound, the height of the stool, the managing of emotions and tension and makeup. It’s all very charged. Some women were preparing to share some of their most

Mendon Ponds Sibling Photography ~ Trevor & Kevin
Danielle, Larry, Trevor, Kevin and I go way back and I was saddened to learn that they were going to move back to Colorado. Danielle swore she’d be back for photos but I have to confess I didn’t really think it would happen. To my surprise, she not only came back for a visit but

Webster, NY Newborn Photography ~ Adam, 11 days old
Tracy previously gifted a newborn session to her sister Lindsey in the fall and I had the privilege of meeting my birthday buddy Harlon. And even though she told me this, I completely did not put two and two together that she works with Betsy, Tj’s mom. I had no idea that they were waiting

Churchville NY Family Portraits ~ Alan and Cheryl
Cheryl’s kids ran out the door to offer to help me bring in equipment and crowded around to play with my oinky pig. She seemed to think they were being rowdy but the liveliness of their home was lovely. They previously had family portraits done when their oldest son graduated from high school (a huge

Beautiful Birth Choices Grand Opening Rochester NY
When I was pregnant with my first child I really believed that my labor was going to be pain free. I took Bradley Childbirth Classes, read more than your average number of books, planned a home birth and hired a doula. You can imagine my shock when the contractions hurt, and they hurt in a
