"Elizabeth is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Her style of coaching is very easy to follow making her pictures look so natural. I love her use of natural light. Her style is classic and timeless, which is exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. Twenty years in the future, I am confident I will still love my pictures as much as I do today."
"Elizabeth is the most genuine person you will ever meet! The love she has for her job is so apparent not only in her beautiful photos but also in the warm and welcoming atmosphere she creates during her shoots. My husband and I do not love taking photos, however Elizabeth made us feel so comfortable and calm in front of the camera. Our wedding and engagement photos exceeded my expectations. Not only is her work wonderful but her calming positive attitude is what every bride needs on her wedding day. I could not recommend her enough! She is truly the best!"

"Elizabeth is the best choice in my opinion! She took time to get to know Justin and myself to where we felt like friends, which made posing for pictures less awkward. She is extremely kind and not shy to tell you how to pose/stand, which was very helpful for me! Elizabeth's photography is very natural. Overall, I could not have imagined working with a better photographer, because in my experience she is the best!!

I love getting to work with the same families over and over. The last time I photographed the Hanlon family, little Sarah was inside her mommy’s tummy. I was so excited to get to meet her in person the day I went to their home for this lifestyle family session.
Years ago I used to dream about being a newborn photographer. In fact, when I started my business, I did everything possible to avoid weddings and studied newborn photography like crazy. Crazy how things work out, right?! One of the very first workshops I purchased was actually a newborn workshop. I loved the idea of creating these beautifully posed newborn portraits, so that was my focus. I booked a few newborn sessions and I was on my way…or so I thought.
It turns out that even though I love newborn snuggles, I don’t have the talent for getting little ones into a deep sleep. The sweet, squishy poses started to stress me out. I LOVED capturing all the newness of this age, but I was forcing myself into a style that just didn’t fit my personality. About three years into business I discovered wedding photography and never looked back. But then my cousin had a baby and I found myself back in the world of newborns.
This time, I decided to check my perfectionist nature at the door. I went into my cousin’s session open minded. In the end, some of my favorite photos from the day were those that were more organic and natural in style. Photos of baby being held and photos of the family together made my heart sing. So when my sweet friends, Christopher and Melissa asked me about photographing the newest addition to their family, I asked them about a lifestyle approach and they happily said that’s what they’d prefer.
I absolutely adore working with this sweet family, so taking these photos was such a treat! It turned out to be super rainy the day of this shoot, which I think helped with little Sarah staying asleep for a good portion of the time. All the windows in their midtown home allowed for great natural light despite the cloudy skies. I loved taking photos in the nursery! It’s the cutest little room. Big sister Claire was certainly excited to give me the tour!
Picking favorites from this session was so hard! Congratulations Hanlon family! Your girls are the sweetest!
Peek-a-boo! This age is so much fun to photograph!
