Recent Shoots

I recently had the pleasure of photographing some of the most beautiful and handsome faces! 

First was Alexander and Isabella. 

Bella was an instant ham, loving up the camera and all this while just waking up from a short nap on the ride over.

Alex took a little while to warm up to me and the camera, but this where patients really pays off. Once he was a little more comfortable, my lens loved him!

These two together were really something!

Next was Makayla and Jasmine. This shoot was a lot of fun even though MY 3 year old was let on the loose and was pining for Mom's attention!

Jasmine is 8 weeks old and one of the most content babies I have ever worked with. She was very intrigued with the camera, mostly just staring at it. Poor Mom and Dad were trying so hard to make her smile, but she just wasn't in the mood.

Kayla was up next and this beautiful kid had a personality all her own! She was a poser...she LOVED posing for the camera!

 

The last shoot I want to share with you is of Karla...Karla has some of the most amazing eyes I have ever seen! They were a blue on the outside and a light brown on the inside. My shoot with her was to catch some of the magic in her eyes. This was just an individual head shot shoot, but we went to some abandoned locations and had ourselves a little adventure while we were shooting!

Jones~George Wedding

"Joy breaks through all barriers."

This wedding was at Conesus Lake in Lakeville, NY. After arriving, Susan, a classic bride, and her father started down a nature path in Vitale Park to her groom and an intimate amount of awaiting guests.

After her father gave her away, the ceremony was very short and sweet. The bride and groom said their 'I Dos' and they were married. They then did a quick meet and greet with their guests and some family photos.

Then the bride, groom, and I went for a walk to get some photos in before the heavens opened up and rained on us.We were fortunate enough to get some photos in at the lake, then we finished up at the reception hall.

The reception was held in Warsaw, NY at a beautiful rustic lodge that was beautifully decorated. Instead of a full cake, the bride and groom had tables of gourmet cupcakes with a small cake for cutting.

The night was filled with dancing and fun as all the guests either relaxed with a full belly or danced it off. After dinner there was a speech and a toast, then the cake cutting, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, a dollar dance, and an anniversary dance. Then the DJ kept the night moving with slow and fast music. A good time was had by all!

Wedding Bliss

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Allison and Jay Platten! Married on April 30, 2011. It was a beautiful sunny day...here are some highlights from the wedding!

Allison was calm and collected as she prepared for her big day, with her mother and bridal party there helping her get ready.

Then we headed outside for some shots of the beautiful bride and her bridal party

After that, it was off to the venue which was held at Hickory Ridge in Holly, NY. A beautiful, well kept golf course including a lake which made for a lovely backdrop. Here, I found a slightly nervous groom and his groom's men. The groom had good reason to be nervous seeing his poor bride's limo was broke down on the side of the road, not once, but twice!

Despite the bride and her girls literally going through two different limos and family members having to come pick them up, they made it just on time and the ceremony began.

After a special ceremony where family read special speeches they prepared for the couple and there was a moment of silence for loved ones no longer with us, we headed outside for some shots of family, the wedding party, and the newly married couple.

Then it was time for the festivities!

Here's wishing this couple many, many happy years together!
