Saturday was the absolute perfect way to kick off the season. Travis & Kaylee have this effortless, gentle kind of love that makes you feel lucky just to be in the same room as them - let alone capturing them behind the lens. Still entirely losing it over how beautiful their day was despite the rain. 🥹💕✨

Imagine being surrounded by this much beauty and choosing to be ugly on the inside. Couldn’t be me. 💅✨ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

2027 books are now open to all that are in love. I can’t wait to chat!

If you’re even thinking about doing a first look with your parents let this be your sign. It’s one of those moments you’ll never regret. 🥲

Also, speaking of parenting… your girl is in the thick of it right now. So thank you for letting me fully soak in this slower season with my two littles, and for still being here even when I’m a little quieter on here. It means more than you know. 🥹💖✨

Hi everyone! I just want to say how incredibly moved I was reading through all of these nominations. Seeing so many women lifting each other up and celebrating the amazing women in their lives honestly made my heart so happy. This community is really something special, and I truly wish I could have picked every single one of you.💞🥹

With that said, the winner of the International Women’s Day session is Sophie Williams! Sophie, please send me a message so we can start planning your session. I’m so excited to photograph you or the person you nominated!

Because the response to this was so amazing, I’m also thinking about putting together a “Women of the Finger Lakes” mini session day this spring so more of you can have a moment in front of the camera too. These would be perfect for motherhood portraits, best friends, sisters, personal branding, or just something for you. 💐💐

If that’s something you’d be interested in, comment below or send me a message so I can gauge interest!

CELEBRATING THE UNSUNG HEROES 🥂

International Women’s day Isn’t just a date - it’s about the women out here showing up. The ones who lift others up, chase their dreams, and somehow still make time for the people they love. The women who quietly hold the world together, one moment at a time.

In honor of International Women’s Day, I want to celebrate one of you with a session that is entirely about you. Whether you need:

✨ Personal Branding to level up your FLX business
✨ Motherhood Portraits to finally get in the frame with your kids
✨ Bestie/Sister Session for you and your ride-or-die 👯‍♀️
✨ Fresh Headshots that actually feel like you
✨ Any kind of portrait session that makes you happy

The heirloom they’ll actually want to see in 50 years? (Ps. It’s not the rings 😉) It’s the photos of you and your best friends tearing up the dance floor on your wedding day. 💃🏽🥂

Forever capturing those joyful, fleeting, and in-between moments of your wedding day in the FLX.

Now booking 2026/2027. ✨

With a snowstorm headed our way, it felt right to pull these from when A & D snuck away from their reception to dance in it ❄️

There wasn’t enough ambient light to go no-flash, so we leaned fully into the flash moment and I’m still not over it. From the snow, to these two, to the guests dancing silhouettes — chef’s kiss 🤌🏼😮‍💨💃🏽
