Family of 5

On Sunday Sept 13th I had the opportunity to shoot this family of 5! We took these photos at the dike by Whitney Point schools. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny morning. The kids we in happy moods and it was an early morning appt.! The girls are the sweetest and the baby is such a cutie!

Thank you Erin and Allen for giving me the opportunity to shoot your lovely family!

August 1st Wedding

These are photos from a wedding that I shot with Bethanie Fiori on August 1st. She asked me to come along and shoot with her! Here are some of my favorites as well as a collage with some details.

Thanks to Bethanie and the Bride & Groom for letting me tag along! I had a good time shooting with you!

Lorin- 2010 Senior!

Lorin is a Tioga Center Senior and a very close friend of the family. She was up to everything that I wanted to try out with her. Here are some of my favorites from her shoot!

I love this shot! I was so excited that this spot had a great piece of graffiti on it. I love the face that is looking at her. It is like he is saying, "Hey, how you doing?"

This is an old school bus that is in the woods near my sister's house. I was told about it and thought that it would be very cool to shoot a Senior out there.

Even though she was not too sure about this shot she was up for it!

This one was one of the last ones that I took and it was a very last minute thought. But I love how it turned out.

I love the old fire escape stairs down town and we actually shot a lot on them. This is one of my favorites from there.

I love this hoodie! And the hoodie is what she is all about.

Thanks Lorin for letting me make you Senior shoot a unique one! I hope that you enjoy them all!!

Aiden 3

I had the privilege to shoot, Aiden, the grandson of my coworker, Tina, this summer. He is such a cutie. I just love his super blue eyes and blonde hair! He is quite the expression maker too!

I loved his little rain jacket! Even though it was very hot out he was a trooper and put it on for us.

Baby Amanda 6 months

Baby Amanda is now 6 months old! She has grown so much. Her face is so serious and I am amazed at how smart she is. I was so excited to be shooting her again. Her parents wanted to do this shoot at River Park in Krikwood where we had shot Moms maternity shoot. Amanda has gotten very good with working the camera and knew just when to look away, as I had the perfect shot! We did get some really cute shots though. Enjoy!

The perfect smile shot!

Holding Mom's finger.
Miss Serious!

Samantha and Friends

I had the opportunity to do 2 shoots this summer with Samantha. The first shoot was of her and her best friend from college, Lacy. The second shoot was of her and Eli. I have posted them both together, since they were both shoots for Samantha. The shoot of Samantha and Eli was at the new spot I talked about in my July updates post. A spot that I really like. It has lots of opportunities for different scenes. Do not be surprised if you see it a lot. I have also posted a separate album of a few that I took of just Lacy.

Samantha and Lacy-

My favorite two of them!

The girls- being themselves. We came out of the tunnel and this is what they went and did on their own. I love when people feel comfortable enough to do silly things for me to shoot!

Eli and Samantha-

This one is my absolute favorite from this shoot of the two of them!

Standing inside the covered Bridge in Kirkwood!

My favorite green chair. Everyone always asks where it came from.

The cute couple standing on the edge of the wall over the water on the outside of the bridge.

Showing off some of their swing dancing moves.

And ending the day at the Washington Street Bridge. Eli was very interested in seeing where I had shot the two girls because he said it looked like I had put them in the middle of the street. Which I did, but only on a road that cars do not drive on!
