Brooklyn- 1 year 2013

Brooklyn belongs to a family that I have had the privilege to see grow. I have known Stacey for a very long time, her and my sister are best friends. I had the opportunity to be a guest at the wedding. I have been helping this family create lasting memories since they were expecting their first little one.

Almost every session we try to create a few images that are similar to big sisters sessions at the same age or season. We of course do not want them to be identical as they are each their own person, as you will see in the following photos.  I think this session we did do a bunch of new things and ideas but there are few that were similar to big sisters.

I bring you Brooklyn and her 1 year session...

and some of her family too

After doing a few photos at the house we headed out to a park not too far from their home.

I love to include the "silly" photos in every session. Or the ones that are not planned. The above collage is one of my favorites. It show cases the girls being them and the dog just hanging out. It is not always easy to get the "perfect" image. Even more difficult when you are working with two subjects under 4 and an animal. 

Kayla- Harpursville 2013 Graduate

It never fails I always find my self behind in sharing my photo sessions. But this time I am extremely behind... I know that I could just start with a clean slate and start sharing the most current sessions (which I will share) but with so many great subjects that have been in front of my camera over the last year and a half it would be unfair to leave them out.  

 With summer quickly approaching it will be time for all those parents of this years juniors to start thinking about their child's Senior Experience. What better way to start the Senior experience off right, then with a great Senior Photo Session. Here is a session of one senior that I hope we started her year off right with the images that we were able to capture. Look for upcoming post with Senior Session offers.

Kayla was fortunate to graduate in January (2013) of her Senior year. I had the honor of capturing her for her Senior portraits. We headed to Downtown Binghamton to some of my favorite spots. A few of the locations we shot at I had not used in awhile and was excited to being using them. I like to be able to offer different locations to my Seniors every year. Trying not to use the same locations every Senior or even every year. One would not think when you hear Downtown Binghamton that there are so many great locations to use that are pretty and offer a great backdrop for photos. We used a couple different locations and had a few outfit changes along the way. All to make her senior photo session experience one to be happy and proud with. 

So with out further ado I bring you Kayla... 

 The collage above was shot at a location that I had not used yet, and can not wait to use it again.

Gary & Whitney- Wedding October 2013 Marathon, NY

I gave a sneak peek of this wedding shortly after I shot it, I was so excited to share some of the images that were my favorites. I am now finally getting around to sharing the full post. There were so many details with this outdoor wedding it was hard narrowing down the images that I wanted to share.

I made a collage of just the "little" details because there were so many that I could not pass up sharing. Since a lot of work went into this wedding, I wanted to make sure that I shared as many of the details that I could.
  Everything was homemade by the bride and her family and friends.  All the flowers were grown by Whitney's aunt all summer so they were in full bloom for the wedding day.The wedding was all one location, at the Bride's aunt & uncle's home. So, any flowers that were not picked to use were on the property in full bloom. This made for a beautiful backdrop for the day.  They were lucky and had wonderful weather for their day. (Which also helped a lot in getting great photos too!)

 Whitney made all of these shirts up for us girls when we went out for her bachelorette weekend. I loved that all the girls in the wedding party had them on while they got ready too.

 Taz- her ride down the isle!

Father and Son.

I realized that I did not finish this post, one that I was getting ready to post during the time we were moving. I am going to post these images and I will do a second posting of some more of the great shots I was fortunate to capture!
