I love love love being able to photograph families over and over as they grow and evolve. So it was of course lovely getting to photograph Mary Kate and Stephen again this year, and getting to meet their pup Bogey! I was also thrilled to find out they are expecting a new family addition in […]

The engagement session for Kristen and Patrick on a beautiful fall morning was a fun family affair! We took the opportunity to not only photograph their engagement, but also tour the venue where the wedding will be taking place, Morningside Inn. The property at Morningside Inn has some absolutely breathtaking landscaping, and their famous weeping […]
