H E L L O 2018! {End of 2017}

In July I had a crazy thought. Let’s STOP thinking about starting photography on my own and just DO IT! As most of you know, I have been working with Erin Lane Photography for a few years now [Assisting, Second Shooting & Blogging], and finally decided to give it a go on my own. Thank you to Erin, for being my mentor and for encouraging me to take a big leap of faith. You are an amazing mentor and I look forward to learning more from you.

Since July I have photographed some amazing families and have had so much fun seeing everyone get comfortable in front of the camera and show their true colors.  Seeing laughter and the love between families/couples is something that will always make me smile.

Huge shout out to the dancers of D’Antono Dance Academy – seeing your passion has been amazing. You are all beautifuuuul!

Thank you to everyone who made this possible in 2017! I am excited to see what 2018 will bring!

Have fun scrolling through the images I’ve taken in 2017… including some of my own trips and animals!

Salesian Park/Christmas Mini Sessions/Goshen, NY {Latoya & Richie}

One of my sessions of the day were Latoya and Richie’s family.

These siblings are the best of friends and love running around together. They had so much fun getting swung in the air by both mommy and daddy. And look at those matching Yankee fitted hats- I loved it!

Thank you to Latoya and Richie for allowing me to capture these fun times!

Christmas Mini Session/Salesian Park {Lashay, Jayden & Jordan}

Oh  my goodness! So much love for Mom! I’ve been dying to share this session for two reasons; 1.) I love seeing such a strong connection between a mother and her sons and 2.) Wait till you see how much love mom gets! I had so much fun with Lashay, Jayden and Jordan. Jayden and Jordan were natural models and had so much fun in front of the camera.

Thank you Lashay for letting me capture these moments!
