The experience
capturing the cozy, everyday magic of life in Northern New York
LET’S MAKE SOMETHING THAT FEELS LIKE YOU.
Maybe you’re homebodies who would rather make coffee and curl up on the couch. Maybe your kids are happiest running around outside. Maybe you want to wander through a bookstore, pick apples, explore somewhere new or turn an ordinary afternoon into a little adventure.
There isn’t one way a photo session is supposed to look.
My favorite sessions give us something to do, somewhere to explore or simply enough time together that you forget about the camera for a while. I’ll give you direction when you need it, let things unfold when you don’t and pay attention to all the little moments happening in between.
You bring the people you love. We’ll figure out the rest together.

TWO WAYS TO TELL YOUR STORY
Sometimes you have an idea you want to bring to life. Other times, you just want to show up somewhere beautiful and let me take care of the rest.
My full storytelling sessions are built around you — your people, your interests, your favorite places and the way you want this chapter to feel. My mini sessions work a little differently. Throughout the year, I dream up seasonal settings and experiences, and you get to step into the story for a little while.
Both are relaxed, story-driven and a little nostalgic. The difference is simply who dreams up the story.
STORYTELLiNG SESSIONS
Your story, built together.
From $35o
A full session gives us the freedom to create something specifically for you. We can stay home, explore downtown, make something, plan a date or head somewhere completely new. We'll dream up the experience together and leave plenty of room for whatever happens along the way.
Mini stories
A little world I've created for you.
From $200
These are limited seasonal experiences built around a concept I've already dreamed up — a location, setting, activity or little world designed for you to step into. You bring your people, and I've already taken care of the story. They're shorter and more structured than full sessions, with limited dates released throughout the year.
READY TO BOOK?
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
From your first inquiry to session day, I’ll walk you through the whole thing.
1. TELL ME ABOUT YOU
You reach out, tell me who you're bringing and what you're imagining. You don't need to arrive with a fully formed idea, that's what I'm here for.
2. WE DREAM IT UP
For storytelling sessions, we'll choose a location or activity and build something that feels like you. I'll help with planning, outfits and all those little details along the way.
3. GO LIVE IT
When session day arrives, you don't need to know how to pose or what to do. I'll give you direction when you need it and leave room for everything that happens naturally.
FAQ
Where do you photograph sessions?
I photograph throughout Northern New York, including Watertown, Fort Drum, Syracuse, the Thousand Islands, the Adirondacks and surrounding areas. From cozy in-home sessions to downtown streets, lakesides and little places worth exploring, we'll find somewhere that feels right for your story.
What should we wear for our session?
You don’t have to figure it out alone. Every session includes access to my style guide, with tips for choosing colors, textures and outfits that photograph beautifully while still feeling like you. You’re also welcome to send me outfit ideas along the way and I can help you pull everything together.
Do you have a studio for winter sessions?
I do! I have a small, natural-light studio space in my home in Watertown that’s perfect for cozy portraits when we’d rather stay out of the Northern New York cold. I also love in-home sessions, so your own space can absolutely become the studio!
What if we’re awkward in front of the camera?
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll give you direction when you need it, but most of our session will be built around movement, conversation and actually doing something together. The goal isn’t to spend an hour smiling at me — it’s to give you enough to do that you can eventually forget I’m there.
WHEREVER YOUR STORY TAKES YOU
I want to be there to document it.
The slow mornings, the big adventures, the people you love and all the wonderfully ordinary moments in between. Whatever your story looks like, let’s make photographs that feel like it.
