Hello

Rebecca & Josh

A Wilson’s Ciderhouse Winter Wedding

Weddings

Temperatures were so cold that schools were cancelled last Friday, but, in the words of Rebecca, “Well, I didn’t want to sweat on my wedding day…” When we were outside, the actual temperature was -9°F, but the “feels like” temperature with wind was -30°F.

A Little Lights on the Lane Winter Wedding

Weddings

It was a windy, chilly day with the sun tucked firmly away behind the clouds. One of the things I love most about Little Lights on the Lane as a venue is that there are lots of indoor spaces both for photos and for folks to spread out and mingle when the weather is unsavory. […]

Family & Kids

I have been so lucky to know the Walsh family for four years now! I first met them when Evelyn was a newborn and it has been so much fun to see her grow over the years. In January, I photographed baby James and now, nearing his first birthday, we got some holiday photos of […]
