Welcome to the blog

Pennellville, New York This week, I’m sharing our own family photos at the farm! Some of you saw my Instagram stories a few weeks ago about attempting to take our own family photos… Well these are the result! If you missed it, this is what happened. Much of our land is used as a hay […]

Pennellville, New York It seems crazy to me that I’m posting my annual goals/updates blog, especially since I don’t think I did one in 2021! Last year was a year of transition for our family and it looks like 2022 will be a year of transitions for Samantha Ludlow Photography. Today I’m excited to share […]

Pennellville, New York We are on day 60-something of quarantine, which means we’ve been home for over two months now! Of course, I haven’t been able to photograph any sessions during this time, but I thought I’d share some updates on what we’ve been doing here at home! Staying home was a big adjustment for […]

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! There’s something about working in the wedding industry and getting to be a part of other people’s love stories that makes me appreciate this day much more than I used to. But if there’s one thing we know to be true it’s that a wedding is not about the celebration itself, […]

Pennellville, New York After a few weeks of settling in to our new home, the blog is back! Following such a big transition, it’s only fitting that the first post be about the farm. This story is full of surprises (like how this whole thing started at a baby shower!) and ends with a astoundingly-quick […]

Cazenovia, New York Today the blog is back and it’s featuring US! I love editing photos of all of your sweet families, but there is nothing I like better than seeing my own favorite people on this screen! Today’s blog is going to feature my favorites from our family photos, taken by the lovely and […]

Hi there, friends! It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve been here! We got back from vacation three weeks ago and I completely fell off my blogging game! While I would love to tell you how much I’ve missed blogging and posting to social media, I’ve actually quite enjoyed this accidental break. Summer has […]

Washington, D.C. On Saturday, Caleb and I celebrated FIVE years of marriage!  It’s a little crazy to me to think that five years have already gone by, but at the same time, it feels like yesterday that we were walking down the aisle! Weddings have become a primary theme in our lives over the past […]

Today I thought I would take a break from my bridal series, to bring you a personal blog.  Our sweet Abigail turned 4 months old last week and it’s about time we shared some more photos and an update! Everyone has asked me how it was going from one baby to two and, four months […]

Syracuse, New York Today I thought I’d take a break from weddings to bring you a personal post.  Christmas is next week (eeek!) and I feel like we’re finally getting into the holiday spirit around here!  I’m done with all my sessions for the year, Caleb just finished his latest house project, and it feels […]
