Would you believe me if I told you this moment was entirely by chance? (Aside from the sign photo). I was photographing another reunion, but this heartwarming moment happened right next to me. I absolutely HAD to capture this.

This is why I do this work. So you and your children can have it for years to come and to look back on. It means so much to me as a fellow military spouse.

Thank you for letting me document and share your homecoming! Welcome home, CW2 Dick!❤️🇺🇸

🇺🇸WELCOME HOME CW2 PADGETT!🇺🇸

What an absolute honor it is to be trusted to capture these moments for fellow military families. We are experiencing firsthand, just how difficult deployment is with little ones. I give major props to all the mamas out there who are solo parenting so their spouse can serve our country, the dads/moms who are missing home & especially the kiddos, who are missing such a massive piece of their heart for so long.

Thank you for trusting me with documenting your homecoming story.❤️🫶🏼

Hello hello! Attempting to survive our own deployment with two toddlers, but wanted to update that I am booked for two homecoming slots already, with two pending for here in Fort Drum.

If anyone would like gallery, experience, and pricing information, I would love to chat with you. Please reach out ASAP with your Main Body number, as I’m very limited on what I can take on at this time.

I wish everyone a beautiful, safe and blessed homecoming!❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸

🍂NY FRIENDS!🍂

Autumn sessions have launched. I’m only doing a handful and am still taking a lot of family time through the holidays. So, if you’ve wanted to book with me, now’s your chance! Please reach out ASAP if you are wanting family sessions, documentary, maternity and newborn as I like to schedule any baby shoots early as babies can be somewhat unpredictable.

I’ll be releasing autumn limited session info for Massachusetts this afternoon!🍂

Hello hello! It's been a while. Spring was chaos here and I've been taking it slower to enjoy more family time before autumn brings some big changes for a while.

Excited to share all I've been working on, for clients and for my own documentary. It's mostly been days out in the sun, in the garden, and being outdoors with the fam. Aurora's favorite place on earth is our garden, and it's brought the sweetest joys into our home life!

First up: photos from our backyard garden👩🏼‍🌾🫶🏼🌼

Welcome to the world, Dorothy!
So many beautiful moments I've captured of my families' over the last month! Here are some in-home newborn snuggles I've been dying to share.

It's truly such a blessing to be chosen for moments like these. I'm invited into vulnerable, postpartum, real, raw spaces and I get to document them exactly how they are. I couldn't ask for anything else, I'm so lucky!

🇺🇸Welcome Home MAJ Wright & the rest of 10th Mountain 2nd Division!!🇺🇸

This week was one for the books. There is simply nothing like being able to watch soldiers reunite with their children, spouses, families, and friends.

While this division of soldiers are home now, before long, many others will be facing deployments very soon, including my girls having to say "see you soon" to their Daddy. I'm holding onto hope knowing that this is what we have in store for when he returns.🙏🏼

Welcome home!!❤️

Welcome home, SSGT St. Thomas!

It's hard to put into words what homecomings feel like. Being present in these moments for families is something so personal, so extraordinary, so emotional. The feeling of hugging your spouse for the first time in 9 months. Watching your children embrace their Dad, their hero, and knowing all the waiting has finally come to an end.
As a documentary photographer, these are the moments I live for. The embraces, the quiet tears, the smiles so big all the little lines show and it is all REAL. Thank you thank you for letting me capture your moments.❤️🇺🇸

The feeling you get when you look at your littlest love…🥹✨

This week is my busiest work week yet & I am loving every second of it! I have the honor of photographing two Army homecomings & on Sunday evening braced the spring sunshine with this gorgeous family and their daughter, Lana.

Everything is full of emotions over here, and I wouldn’t change a things. It’s such a blessing this job I’ve made for myself, to capture the love and connection people have. Thankful every single day for the people who trust me with these moments🙏🏼

Had the sweetest in-home documentary session for this lovely family a few weeks ago. Outdoor sessions are stunning, but there's just something so special about seeing the intimate details of your everyday life as a family.🏡🥰

I still have a few dates for March and April available, but they are going fast. If you'd like to get on my calendar for anything the next couple of months, reach out ASAP and we'll design a session that's fit for your family!🫶🏼

I keep putting off posting until I have the “right” moment. The “right” caption. A perfect reel. That’s never going to happen. So, here’s a personal favorite from a cold, outdoor December session in Massachusetts.

Each season truly has something special about it, including the cold days after the holidays. It felt so refreshing and this shoot was such a blast and pushed me out of my comfort zone. We’re buried waist deep in snow here in upstate and the kids are loving it😅

THE IRELAND FAMILY

I had no idea what to make of a location like this, since it was new and a completely different vibe than I'm used to, but I LOVED everything about this shoot. Families with older teens you CAN take good photos!! It's so worth it.
