How long have you been saying, “We really need to get family photos done”?

Maybe the last time was when your youngest was a baby. Maybe you’ve been waiting for the right season, the right outfits, or for life to calm down a little. Or maybe another year has simply gotten away from you.
Here’s your reminder that you don’t need a milestone to make family portraits worth doing.
I love photographing families exactly as they are right now—the snuggles, the belly laughs, the kids who need to move, and yes, even the ones who want absolutely nothing to do with my camera at first.

September + October are some of my favorite months for family portraits in Saratoga Springs, and I’m currently booking fall sessions. We can head outdoors, keep things cozy at home, or create something simple and timeless in the studio.
If family photos have been sitting on your “we really need to do that” list, maybe this is the fall we finally cross them off.

When I first captured this little boy's newborn portraits, his big sister was still adjusting to her brand-new role and was a little shy and hesitant. Fast forward one year, and she was all smiles. I know they will treasure this sweet sibling portrait.

With Back to school happening, many parents are realizing how their children have changed since last year., which is exactly why I created Fresh Faces Portrait Sessions.

These quick, effortless children’s portrait sessions go beyond the typical school photos and are designed for busy Saratoga Springs families who want beautiful, timeless portraits of their children without the time commitment or preparation of a full portrait session. Just stop by after school, and I’ll take care of the rest. It’s that simple.

For each Little Loves session, I ask parents a few questions about their children. My favorite thing is to ask what their favorite songs are so that I can make a playlist just for them! Once they are comfortable, I then ask them what they want me to take a picture of after they’ve gotten comfortable.

You never know what they’ll say! Those genuine, candid moments usually become my favorite portraits!

These beautiful First Communion portraits at Central Park Rose Garden captured an extra-special milestone. This Rose Garden in Schenectady was the perfect setting. With rows and rows of blooming roses surrounding us, the garden provided the most beautiful backdrop.  This sweet girl absolutely loved her white First Communion dress, and I loved watching her spin and twirl around in her dress. Those playful portraits bring so much personality to portraits and keep the experience feeling fun and natural.

This one year old was full of the sweetest expressions and the biggest smiles. Once we brought out the cake, he couldn’t wait to dig in, which made for the most joyful portraits.
