With the help of Caroline’s sister, James planned the perfect proposal the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing, NY. A location that is near and dear to my heart because that’s where my parents met almost 50 years ago! Each proposal package comes with a mini engagement session so we took some after we were done […]

Patrick and Nancy are elementary school teachers from Long Island who decided to take a long weekend over spring break to visit the Lake George NY area for engagement photos.

Trevor and Erica’s Lake George Battlefield Park and Million Dollar Beach engagement session.

When I decided to move to my hometown of Bolton Landing, it was the beauty of the Adirondack Mountains and Lake George that drew me back. There are times when I miss the busy hustle of the DC area but then I’ll see a beautiful sunset or a mountain view that leaves me feeling like this is exactly where I need to be.

The gorgeous vista views of the mountains and the wooded area that Kelsey played in as a child added the perfect backdrop to their engagement session. It amazes me that no matter how long I live here, I always find some location that is even more beautiful than the last.
