Meet Nancy

I first met Nancy about a year and a half ago. When we met we hit it off right away. We discovered that we both had sons the same age who played indoor soccer. So, when she came to me and asked me to shoot her photos for a website that she was starting for motivational speaking. She had told me that she wanted to do some near water and a well. I told her that I had the perfect spot for the water but was not sure on the well. Nancy found one in a family's front yard that she fell in love with and asked the couple if we could shoot there. They were fine with us using their lawn and the well. So we started at the house with the well and then headed to the waterfalls. We then ventured out to this pond that I was sure I could find again after taking photos there "forever" ago. Well we did not find the pond and ended up with a scratch on Nancy's face and me stuck in the mud, but we did great photos at the first 2 locations.
The wishing well was made by the couples son and had thier last name engraved in it. It was beautiful and once I seen it I knew why Nancy wanted this well for her photos.




This tree was also in the couples front yard and I loved it so we took photos in front of the tree before we headed to the waterfalls.


Here are a few of my favorites from the waterfalls. We got very lucky that it had rained for a few days before the shoot and the water was flowing full force!


It was a little cold but Nancy had no problem taking off her shoes and getting a little wet.









Nancy I am so glad that I could shoot these photos for you and can not wait to see the website and which photo you choose for it! Good luck to you!

Jamie Sneak Peek

Jamie is a 2012 Binghamton Senior that I had the chance to "shoot" last month. We had a lot of fun with this shoot, even though we chose to shoot on a weeknight. We had to be creative because it now gets dark so much earlier and we shot them all outdoors. We started out one night and that night did not go so well... The battery in my car died (I was using my headlights as extra light) and we had to sit at Wolf Park waiting to be rescued. By the time that we were rescued it was a little too dark to finish the shoot.

One of the things that Jamie wanted to do was wear her 2012 sweats and Binghamton t-shirt and take photos in front of the signs at the 3 schools that she attended. So, her wish was my command and we did just that. However, when we got to West Middle School we discovered that there was no sign, or if there is one we missed it. I wanted to share 3 of my favorites in that we took in front of the schools with the names showing.

So here is a little sneak peek of Jamie's 2012 Senior photos. More to come soon, I promise!

I do have to say that I did not take her photos on an the angles that they are at intentionally, but LOVE the way that it worked out!
