I have to say the worst pictures I take are of my kids. I absolutely love my camera (and my lights!) but my standards for other people and my standards for my family… let’s just say they’re not the same. I think it’s usually because I’m too busy being their mom, or maybe just enjoying

Rochester NY Newborn Photography ~ A Home Birth Story
When you’re super pregnant and people ask where you’re going to deliver, “home” is usually the last thing they expect you to say. You can almost see the wheels turning, “You mean, on purpose?” My husband Jason and I are pretty scientifically minded – I tease him that half his PhD is mine. We did

Rochester, NY Toddler Photography ~ Trevor
You may remember this cute little guy from his one year old photos. Danielle and Larry’s enthusiasm is amazing and I thoroughly enjoy working with them. They make it so easy to get great facial expressions and Trevor is such a cute little guy! He’s going to be a big brother very shortly – super

Losing Matthew ~ Our experience with the death of a child
by Debra Wallace My intensity scared the social worker but my uterus was not cooperating and God help anyone who stood in my way. The training classes were not enlightening and the questions were invasive but I filled out forms, checked boxes and waited impatiently. I was weeding a flower bed when a water break

When Photography Heals
I went to school to be a therapist and I never felt like I could make a difference so we became foster parents and tried to have babies – though neither worked out quite like we’d planned. A few years later I learned about Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep – an organization where

Ithaca NY Newborn Photography ~ Della 10 days old

Rochester, NY Candid Child Photography ~ Ansley and Luke
One of the first photographers whose work I fell in love with doesn’t photograph children. It took me a while to realize that part of the reason his images looked so technically perfect *all the time* was because he was working with adults. Kids are a completely different ball game. Sometimes – no all the

Rochester, NY Family Photography ~ Steve & Sarah
When I walked in the door Sarah had this great list of ideas she wanted to try during the photo shoot. This was an idea she got from Pinterest. Luke had his own opinion but we did manage to catch this shot – he is so incredibly cute! Animal shots, are very, very challenging.

Fairport, NY One Year Old Photography ~ Sarah and Sam

Travelogue ~ Niagra Falls, Ontario Canada with three small children
For 20 years my mom has prepared gourmet Thanksgiving meals with my stepfather, Harvey. We spent many turkey eating holidays in Ithaca, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and my aunt’s ranch in Texas. Lung cancer took Harvey’s life in March, so this year called for something completely different. Rather than choke down turkey with gravy and mashed potatoes

6 Creative Ideas for an Awesome Family Photo Session
A lot of people request candid photographs, which is a term that’s become kind of amorphous. Technically if you hired someone to photograph you and got dressed up it’s not *really* candid. So if you wanted those, you’d pretty much have to live with a photographer (who may not take pictures of your family because

I was working on a project and desperately needed a pregnant woman. Sam was absolutely wonderful and agreed to help me out even though she was not feeling super attractive (I wish I looked this good when I’m pregnant!!!).
