A wedding in the country - that's the theme when couples select the Chapel in Galway, NY for their wedding day. The Chapel, located very close to Saratoga Springs, was first build in 1859 - and has been restored, retaining so much of the original structure. I had been there before, and was thrilled to hear Aimee tell me that was where the ceremony would take place. Aimee and Angelo decided on doing a first glance
Another very big congratulations to this incredible couple. Michele and Makki could not have had a better day for their Saratoga National wedding! The day started off at the Hilton on Broadway in Saratoga Springs, NY. Stylist Erica Sherman of Jean Paul Salon and Spas was working her magic when I arrived. Michele knows Erica from work, and I work with Erica for many of my sessions. The familiarity we have with one another certainly
Cori and Liam decided on the beautiful venue, Pat's Barn, for their wedding. It's actually located in Troy, NY in the Rensselaer Technology Park. Although this is a relatively "new" venue the barn itself has been around for a long time! The barn has resided in the Tech Park for over 250 years. It has been rebuilt preserving the character of this historic Dutch homestead by using much of the original structure. Working with this
So right from the title you may be wondering how it is that I shot a wedding in Rochester, NY. I'm from there originally, and I have a very large extended family who still live there.

Spring is in the air - people are feeling refreshed, and the boudoir inquires and sessions are pouring in! I am also thrilled when women book a session for themselves. My first client had a birthday approaching, and decided that part of her present to herself would be a boudoir session with me. As many of my clients, we had been corresponding on Facebook for some time, chatting about the details, and figuring out when
2013 certainly seems to have people thinking outside of the box. The Boudoir Session inquires have been pouring in, and I'm thrilled to say men are beginning to see it as something they can do as well! A male session is different - as I try to go after an edgier, harder, more dramatic look. Soft and sensual just doesn't quite fit! However, there are similarities.

I'm not sure who came up with this phrase - but the second I saw it I knew it would be the title of this very special blog post. If you've been following me on facebook you've seen the buzz about my event for cancer Survivors. Incredible. Powerful. Uplifting. Emotional. Just a few words that describe the dynamics that took place last weekend. What started as an idea between stylist Erica Sherman( Jean Paul

I can not think of a better way to start a new year, than with an incredible Boudoir session!!! This gorgeous lady, is a wife, and mom to 2 little ones. Recently she turned 30 - and was feeling the need to do something for her. I loved hearing that from her as Erica Sherman - stylist from Jean Paul - started her makeup. It's so easy to focus on the needs of everyone else
