Happy Sunday friends! Wow, it’s hard to believe that July is almost over! These past five weeks I have been consumed with all things related to caring for a newborn. Although I have never been this sleep deprived in my life, it has been the sweetest season! Thankfully, Oliver loves to nap on his mama, […]

Happy spring friends! As I sit here writing this blog post, it is snowing outside, making it hard to believe it actually is spring. But every year around this time, I always feel a sense of accomplishment. Whew, we made it through another Upstate NY winter! As I prepare for the 2023 photography/wedding season, I […]

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 […]

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 […]

My hands trembled. Tears swelled up in my eyes. And my throat vibrated as I sang… Typically, these are not typical things I experience throughout the course of a wedding ceremony. 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 […]

Katie and […]
