Family Session - *M* Family

I met Laura and her family through Jen and Rob, whose engagement/family photos I took.  Laura's husband is in the military and is currently in Afghanistan.  She wanted to take some family photos to send to him for a Christmas gift so we met up on a chilly Saturday morning.  She brought her dog, who was such a sweetheart!

Thank you again, Laura!  You have a great family, and I am so thankful for your husbands service and your sacrifice for our country.  I pray for his safety, as well as the safety of all the other soldiers daily, and I am looking forward to working with you again!

Happy Birthday Madison! - Madison Turns One

I met Stephanie and her husband Terry when I was photographing Mya's first birthday party.  Stephanie messaged me on Facebook and we met in November at The Loom in Waverly for her Ice Cream Shoppe Party.  Stephanie was amazing and did all of the decorations herself.  She should be an event planner or something.  Her attention to detail was incredible.

I love this cake!

Thanks so much, Stephanie!  I loved being a part of your celebration, you have a beautiful family and I hope to work with you again soon!

Jen and Rob - Family/Engagement

I have known Jen since high school and we reconnected on Facebook a couple years ago.  I love Facebook for that very reason!  Her son, Nick, is my sons age, and he is one of the most adorable boys in the world.  (Next to my son, of course.  ;)  Anyway, I was thrilled when Jen messaged me about photographing her September 8th wedding.  We were trying to plan out their engagement session when the flood hit.  Jen and Rob were some of the unlucky families whose house got hit, and because of that they lost so many photographs.  That was when we decided to do an engagement/family session.

I met them at Waverly Glen on a freezing morning in November.  It warmed up, and the light was beautiful, and until it got warm they were all troopers.  Rob also brought two of his sons (and their significant others) and his daughter from his first marriage.  I have known his daughter Ari for years, when her and my baby sister became friends.

It was great meeting up with you guys, and I am looking forward to September 8th!

 

Family Session - *B* Family

I met Amanda through Facebook (where I meet a lot of my clients!)  We got together for our session on a beautiful afternoon in November.  (We have been seriously lucky with our NY winter!)  Amanda is a local Zumba instructor, and her family was so much fun to photograph.  They even brought their dog.  (I love when people do that!)

Love the manly poses.

I love this one.  It reminds me of a still shot from an old romance movie.

Thank you, Amanda, for inviting me to spend time with your family.  I enjoyed getting to know you all, and hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future!  You have a truly beautiful family.
