Clark Reservation State Park is one of my absolute favorite local spots, so it was fun to explore it for these hiking engagement photos. Margot and Simon have a large height difference that they requested I highlight in the photos. It was great learning more about them during their couples session, and it made me super excited to celebrate their marriage with family and friends!

Crystal and Jake's ability to easily flip from silly to sultry (and back again) for their Chittenango Falls engagement session made for some truly amazing photos. We did some hiking and ended up on the rocks in front of the waterfall for some epic shots.

I met up with Amara and Garrett for their sunrise engagement photos in downtown Syracuse and we spent some time exploring the alleys and empty streets.

I love taking extended family photos, so it was wonderful to hear from the Brown family! This fall backyard portrait session included a pumpkin patch, horses, and apple trees.

I was thrilled that these two were up for some winter engagement photos. The best part was finding out that Mike’s family owned a Christmas tree farm. It truly doesn’t get more romantic than that, so we absolutely had to shoot there.

Marisa & Alex wanted some picnic-themed apple orchard engagement pictures, and I immediately fell in love with the idea! We shot at Abbott’s Farm in Baldwinsville, NY, and they brought all of their favorite books for a fun literary-loving photo shoot, complete with a big champagne pop!

Fall mini sessions are the perfect opportunity to update your family photos, snap some engagement pictures, or even freshen up your headshots. Oh, and I will never turn down the opportunity to include your dog, so bring them along with you for the shoot!

Fall foliage is always a big reason that people choose fall engagement photos, and Mendon Ponds Park sure did deliver! We took our time exploring and taking pictures in different areas of the park, and scoping out the best locations to capture those vibrant oranges and reds.

We headed to Green Lakes State Park one fall evening. The park was practically empty and the trees were nearing peak colors, which made for a gorgeous backdrop for Shannon & Phil's fall engagement photos with their dog, Fenway.

Oh my gosh, I had so much fun shooting these engagement photos in snow for Carlie and Joe! It’s not every day that my couples are up for adventuring out in wintertime, but we really couldn’t have asked for better weather. This couple was truly up for anything!
