May 23rd Wedding

On May 23, 2009 I had the opportunity to shoot a second wedding with Brandi Scott. While she owns these photos that were taken, I was given permission to post some that I did shoot. Here are two collages of the details that I captured. As well as one of my favorites. The guys all had Converse sneakers on and I was able to catch their fast foot work. Thanks to Brandi for asking for my assistance. I had a great time helping you out!

Nature Collages

I have taken different photos that I have taken of different sides of nature and made them into four mini collages. As much as I like to shoot people, I love nature photos just as much. They are a more controlled shoot. Enjoy them as much as I enjoyed shooting them

The waterfalls in Watkins Glenn, some during the winter and the others just after they thawed out.

Here are some flowers that were once in our front yard.

These are images that I captured while walking through the Glens at Traditions in Johnson City.

Here are some more from our front yard. I do believe that the bottom left flower may actually be a weed that I shot at Wolf Park but it is still pretty.

April Updates!

It has been some time since I have been able to do any updates. This week I found a great website where I can download free backgrounds and free "words of wisdom". The site (as you will see the title on my site) is http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/. It has great free backgrounds for blogs and myspace, just wish you could download to facebook too.
I have added a new post of baby Amanda Lee. I have also added some new photos to 365 days. Wow, that posting has not been caught up in a while. I will get more edited to add soon.
With the nice weather approaching I am hoping to get out and about town and shoot some more sights to post. Keep checking back for them. Also, the nice weather means a great time to update those family photos. There are so many great places to shoot in our county. I know you are thinking "We live in Broome County. Are you sure?" But really there are, I'd be happy to show you. I have recently acquired, courtesy of my dear friend Melisa, some great material to serve as backdrops. So if you want some traditional photos, I can help with them too. Let me know if I can help capture some new memories. In the next few weeks I am going to be shooting a family of 5. I am looking forward to this shoot! Two little girls and a baby boy! I have also been asked to do some shoots of mans best friend. Looking forward to those as well. I really have not had the opportunity to shoot just dogs, other than my own.
I have also been helping my mother out with her blog http://www.partypartners1.blogspot.com/. This is for her and her group of lady friends that all have direct sales businesses. They all do a paddle party for fundraising events. This blog is still a work in progress, but check it out.
One more note to add. As an avid scrapbooker I have been trying to take images from all of my past post and add a scrapbook layouts to them. Be sure to look at them too!

Baby Amanda Lee

I finally got the opportunity to shoot Amanda's photos when she was 2 months old. I went out to their house and enjoyed 2 hours of shooting. Amanda is such a great baby. As you can see there are not many photos that she was actually asleep for. Such a bright eyed and observant little lady.

Thank you, Carrie & John, for letting me into your home to shoot you wonderful little girl. I look forward to our next shoot.

The dog decided she needed to be part of the photos too!

365 Days of photos

While Google searching at work one day, I searched "Baby photographers". In the list of the results I found the site: http://www.mandybirdwell.typepad.com/. I do have to say that I like her work. She has great ideas and style. On her sight she has a 365 days post. I thought that this was such a great idea. I have decided to try this out. I can not guarantee that I will have the time to do one everyday, but I will try. So for my first posting I am going to give you two.
