I am sure they were right! It often happens that there is a big gap from senior portraits to wedding to pictures with your own family when you start having kids. But what about your siblings in between! Family pictures are such a lovely gift idea!

This winter had been so cold, I didn't know if we could go outside for my daughter's birthday picture, but it warmed up just enough to trek outside for a few minutes. I treasure these birthday pictures. They show my children's personalities and how they change from year to year. Here is baby girl...

But they can really happen any time! You just have to have different expectations. Newborn babies in the first two weeks sleep a lot! As babies grow, they are awake more, and you can no longer pose them as much as you can when they are asleep. I two month old baby has a mind of its own and might want to be awake and crying throughout the whole session. But that doesn't mean we can't get some beautiful images. Here are a few portraits taken of baby M between the crying. Isn't she adorable!

It is so much fun to watch families grow! We just saw new baby B a few months ago when he was born and boy has he gotten big! Of course big sister B is growing as well – though I think baby brother will out grow her soon! These were taken in their living room with the tree again, we worked around other objects in the way and got a couple family pictures! Here are a couple of my favorites…

We met at Centennial park in Corning and we had a great time discussing the ins and outs of life in Corning. This was also my first session I got to go onto the newly finished foot bridge!

What they did not know is that the Niagara Falls Parks commission did nothing to show they had reserved the pavilion. People walked through during the ceremony and even went so far as to try to push me out of the way to take pictures. Regardless of the rude tourists this couple could only see each other and it was a beautiful ceremony at a beautiful location. Here are a few of my favorites…

It threatened rain the whole time- but it did not rain (well maybe a couple drops). They even got a crazy story to tell – they actually had wedding crashers! The gall of some people. William, Rosa, and the staff at the vineyard took care of the situation. It was amazing to watch Rosa and William that day. They were constantly looking at each other. While dancing, during the ceremony – even when they were supposed to have their eyes closed- they could not take their eyes of each other. It was truly beautiful. Here are a few of my favorites…

Certainly a picture perfect wedding, and I wish them the best of luck in their new life together!

She was at the perfect development for a session, where she can sit up on her own, but can’t crawl away yet. I am posting a variety from her session, which was at home, but there were so many images that I loved it was very hard to choose!

They even had pyrotechnics and parachutes. Here are a few of my favorites, if you are interested in purchasing any prints let me know!

Yes- I said clean drinking water! I saw the process from walking the manure ponds, seeing that pumped into the machine and through the process to a tap and watching someone drink the clean water. Pretty amazing! Here are a few images…

Beau was about 14 days old in this session. Best newborn portraits are before the baby is 14 days – this is because newborns sleep the most and you can pose them. However, if you would rather have the baby awake for the portraits then after 14 days is good. There are pluses to both, so it has to be a personal choice. The baby also has a say in this :), sometimes he/she does not want to be asleep and sometimes they do not want to be awake. This session was at home, we created a makeshift studio. Here are a few of my favorites…

The reception was in the basement. It was the perfect setting for a country wedding right before Christmas with the snow falling everywhere.  They utilized pine in the flowers and centerpieces and we took most of the family portraits in front of the Christmas tree that was set up in the front of the church.

We had a nice time walking around the park and watching for “birds” and real birds behind my head. It was cold, but had a quick drive to the other part of the park to warm up! Here are a few of my favorites…

Suzette is totally into Pinterest! She found so many amazing ideas there, from poses she wanted to try to the bridesmaids as well as her bouquet, the kids shoes, and more! There were so many great details to their wedding. Even though it was freezing cold out, they still held the ceremony outside as well as going to Sperr Park for bridal party portraits! You can even see some snow/ice flakes in a few of the pictures! Here are a few of my favorites from their day…

I even babysat Molly and her brother! I was honored when she asked me to be the photographer at her wedding! The weather was typical October in Buffalo, but it did not matter because it was at the Botanical Garden! It was wonderful to see Molly’s extended family whom I had not seen in years! Here are a few of my favorites…

The kids were great, except they did not smile at the same time, when one was smiling the other was frowning and vice versa, I still think they deserved their cookies though :). Here are a few of my favorites from our session at Clute park in Watkins Glen…

We walked from one side to the other and back again a few times for different backgrounds. By the end Maddy was totally getting into posing for the pictures. I wish her the best of luck in her upcoming senior year and in her future college career, what an exciting time of your life! Here are a few of my favorites…

It is hard to believe how fast time slips by. We met at Glen Falls Park in Williamsville NY for her senior portraits. She was super patient with me posing her all over the park. It was cold and threatening rain the whole time too, but we had a good time. Here are a few of my favorites…

It worked out great to do the sessions back to back! Amazingly the weather was different just an hour earlier – it was sunny and there was not a lot of wind, so it felt warmer. The girls were perfect little models and we had a great time wandering around the park. I don’t get to see them that often so it was nice to catch up. Here are a few of my favorites…

On the promise of hot chocolate to come we coaxed my nieces out of their jackets. My youngest niece decided it was too cold and she only wanted to cuddle with mommy- smart girl! My elder niece, in typical 4 year old fashion, decided that running around is what would keep her warm. Either way you cannot hide their cuteness, what a beautiful family! Here are a few of my favorites…

She ate and was changed, but did not want to be set down; we did get a few smiles and some great family portraits. I’ve known her daddy since he was born and I could not be happier for him and his wife on the birth of their beautiful baby. I look forward to watching her grow up. Here are a couple of my favorites from the morning…

This time I had the whole family! We met in Corning and it was about to rain. We were able to get a few poses in before the rain started. Here are my favorites…

It was a gorgeous fall morning and great for pictures! As we were walking on the hill we had some encounters with bear droppings, I was glad it was just the droppings! Except for some sun in our eyes we had a great morning, we even got to see a glider take off before we left. Here are a few of my favorites…

It was in Nelson PA -absolutely perfect for a small wedding.  They did so much of the wedding themselves and it was beautiful – they could be wedding decorators! It was a lot of fun working with them and their families – I am waiting for a couple recipes from her mother! Here are a few of my favorites…

The bride wanted to do something – different – so she invited her friends, and they all brought costumes, and we had a great time playing dress up and being sexy! Some of the ladies were doing this for themselves, and others were intending the portraits as a gift for their significant other. I was given permission by the ladies to post one of their portraits on my blog – Thank you very much ladies! Here are my favorites (well, the ones I could post :) )…

I went to their home and we had a great session- big sister did a great job and got a yummy brownie for a reward! It was hard to narrow down, but here are my favorites…

We met at the pier in Watkins Glen on an absolutely beautiful cloudy fall day! It was chilly that morning and jackets were left on one of the benches as we were taking pictures. One jacket sadly blew away and we watched it sink into the water. We also got a chance to see a muskrat running along the rocks. It kept running in the opposite direction we were going, but we got to see it several times! It was an exciting morning. Here are a couple of my favorites…

Please contact me to discuss any upcoming parties you may have; it is great to have a photographer to capture your guests, and take group pictures at a family gathering, party, or other event. The party was at a fire hall and we took our group pictures right outside the front door. We even got a photograph of most of the original wedding party!  Here are a few of my favorites from the afternoon…

We were very lucky in that it only sprinkled a little bit.  The new synagogue will have it’s first High Holiday services next week for Rosh Hashanah and this event was a beautiful and traditional way to truly bring the two congregations into one. Here are a few images from the morning…

It was an absolutely beautiful wedding! It took place at Sonnenburg Garden and the reception was at the Finger Lakes Wine and Culinary Center, both in Canandaigua. The ceremony was so moving and beautiful that not a single eye was dry, including mine. The pictures turned out amazing! Sonnenburg Garden is a wedding photographer’s dream and this couple were absolutely beautiful! Since I am not sharing their photographs I would like to share a note they wrote…

“My husband and I were so pleased that we chose JSC Photography for our wedding. Jessica was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. She was detailed and professional, ensuring that we had all of the settings and shots that we wanted. Her real strength showed through though in the candid and intimate shots she captured during the preparations, ceremony, and reception. Her natural talent for catching emotion and creativity in composition were amazing. She helped us on our wedding day by not only immortalizing our special moments, but also by assisting the wedding party with last minute details, working closely with the venue staff, and even bustling my dress at the reception! Jessica’s services were very reasonable and she went above and beyond to make our day special. We had hundreds of beautiful photos in only 2 weeks and will definitely be using JSC Photography for other special occasions in our lives. Thanks Jessica!”

I used to do them all the time when I worked at a portrait studio, I forgot how much fun they are! Vanessa and I wandered around Chestnut Ridge park and a beach in Hamburg. She was a great model and humored me while I posed her, giving her all sorts of directions :). We had a gorgeous day for pictures and there are too many favorites to count, but this is a sample…
