It was a crisp fall day. The kind of day where you walk and the leaves perfectly crunch underneath your feet. The kind of day where you take a deep breath in and it smells just like fall. The kind of day where it feels like fall, but you only need a light jacket to […]

Happy December friends! Since it is officially cold here in Upstate, I thought I would share a session from a few weeks ago that was absolutely FRIGID! We have been so blessed this fall into winter with milder weather than normal. But on this particular Monday morning, where I met up with Hannah and Ezra […]

It was the year 2011. I was fifteen years old. As a fifteen year old, what did I aspire to spend my summers doing? Work at a summer camp, of course! Growing up in Allentown, PA, we were not far from Zionsville, PA where Victory Valley Camp is located. I had gone there a few […]

The sun attempted to peek through the dark sky… As I drove towards Thacher Park for a special senior session, I was worried the skies were going to let loose.

Usually I am focused on my back pain from poor posture throughout the day, or I am focused on how heavy my 70-200 mm […]

It was hot, sunny, and humid. The perfect day for a May wedding. This past year I have had the wonderful privilege of being an associate photographer for Hannah Balta! Hannah and I met a few years ago after I moved to NY. Hannah is an amazingly-talented photographer who recently got married and moved to […]

The air was cool. The wind was blowing. It was time for the first look. Angela hiked up her 7-layer wedding dress, and made her way towards her dad. This was a moment I wish I could have frozen in time. Ed sighed and took a long deep breath in. He was ready to see […]

Rain pounded against my car. My windshield wipers traveled at high speed. Highway traffic moving at a measly pace of 20 mph. Filled with frustration, I voice texted Jeni that we would have to reschedule for the second time. Like many times before, I was traveling on I-287 through New Jersey, on my way to […]
