Baby Announcement!

Sat, 08 Feb 2020 15:30:00 GMT

This lovely, soon to be family braved the snow at Chestnut Ridge Park and we took some portraits for their baby announcements. It is wonderful to document such a special time in your lives. These moments pass so quickly, getting professional portraits really helps to capture and save them. 020.weber.2.1.2020 016.weber.2.1.2020 030.weber.2.1.2020

Family on a rainy day

Mon, 30 Dec 2019 15:30:00 GMT

We braved the rain and took a quick family portrait in the back yard. I love quick sessions when you don't have a lot of time, but you still want to make sure to get in a family portrait!

Christmas Present Portraits

Tue, 24 Dec 2019 15:30:00 GMT

These siblings decided a portrait of themselves would be the best Christmas present for their parents and grandparents. 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 beautiful 2020 senior has great aspirations! It was exciting hearing about her plans as we walked around the steps of the Albright Knox art gallery and Delaware Park's Hoyt Lake. That is one of my favorite parts of meeting seniors- hearing about their hopes and dreams for their future. It is a very exciting time filled with promise.

Sat, 10 Aug 2019 12:15:00 GMT

Emily and Tom had a first look at Amherst State Park and family portraits, their ceremony and reception were at Sean Patricks. It was a beautiful day for a wedding combining two families (they have a combined three daughters), their vows and speeches brought tears to the eyes. Fun parts of their wedding were the Star Wars details in socks, songs, and a cake, and everyone partied and danced into the night.

Here are some lovely highlights from their day...

Lindsay and Edward's Chestnut Ridge Park Wedding

Thu, 25 Apr 2019 13:30:00 GMT

It was a cold and rainy day at Chestnut Ridge Park, but Lindsay and Edward did not let that stop them from having a beautiful wedding! The weather changed their plans a little bit, but we were still able to take portraits outside. Originally they had decided on having a big expensive wedding, but then changed their plans and decided to spend most of their budget on a European Vacation for two months!!! Now those are priorities I can get behind!

Here are a few of my favorites from their special day!

Family of 7 at Chestnut Ridge

Sat, 10 Nov 2018 21:30:00 GMT

I met this wonderful family at Chestnut Ridge park in Orchard Park. These 5 sisters are incredibly sweet and mom and dad must have the patience of saints to be making it through parenthood (or a lot of grace and understanding, lol)!!! We had a lovely afternoon at the park and I hope we can do it again!

High school senior in the studio

Thu, 01 Nov 2018 20:00:00 GMT

Noah started off shy, but he really warmed up to the camera after a few minutes. He could be a model! We had a silly session in the studio with mom, sister, and best friend watching the modeling "show", Noah did not disappoint and had a great senior session. I love sessions on location, but I also love the simplicity of a studio session, where the focus is on the senior and really showcases who they are.

Here are a few favorites...

Urban HS Senior at Canalside Buffalo NY

Sat, 20 Oct 2018 18:30:00 GMT

I met Hayley and her sweet little dog at Canalside in Buffalo NY. She was not interested in portraits in the woods, or a field, or a beach- she wanted a more urban setting. We decided on Canalside, and it fit her perfectly. We had a great time walking around and she loved modeling. Best of luck in all of your future pursuits Hayley!!!

I met Cheryl last year when I took her daughter's senior portraits. I was so excited when she asked me to photograph her elopement! Cheryl and Mike chose a quaint bed and breakfast at Barcelona Beach, they had a beautiful ceremony on the grounds and then we went across the street for portraits, after our portraits the bed and breakfast had a beautiful cake and dinner for them.

First Grandchild

Fri, 10 Aug 2018 17:45:00 GMT

When you get your first grandchild it is a big deal, so why not get family portraits! I love when I can enter a family's space, like their backyard or their home and capture families in their own "world".

Visiting Family

Wed, 18 Jul 2018 17:00:00 GMT

I photographed these kiddos last year, they had cousins visiting this year and invited me to photograph them all in their backyard. Including family members in your portraits are a great way to add to your portrait, or be able to use them for gifts.

Family portraits for graduation

Sat, 30 Jun 2018 15:45:00 GMT

A high school graduation is the perfect occasion for family and extended family portraits! Everyone has dressed up for the occasion, it is usually a nice time of year, and sometimes family comes into town. This lovely family invited me to their home for family portraits before the graduation ceremony. It was about to rain, but we were able to get the portraits done outside! Please contact me for your next family gathering!

First Birthday- Yucky cake!

Wed, 20 Jun 2018 15:45:00 GMT

This sweet little guy did not like his cake! Some kids don't- for many it is their first time eating food like this and they aren't used to it.

A small cake or even a cupcake work great for first birthday portraits! We even had fun with balloons.

Business Portraits

Mon, 11 Jun 2018 15:30:00 GMT

Headshots and business portraits don't have to be in studio. They can be at your place of business as well!

It was wonderful to chat with the owner of Amherst Memorial Chapel. When you have need of a funeral home, you want to be taken care of every step of the way and that is surely the care you and your family would receive here.

Here are a couple of my favorites...

Birthday tradition

Tue, 10 Feb 2015 04:00:00 GMT

Every year on my children's birthday I take a picture of them in the back yard. 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...

Sat, 11 Oct 2014 02:45:00 GMT

It was a beautiful, but cold, morning in the pasture of the Stierly's farm. We wanted to get a family picture with the pigs but many were hiding in the tall grasses and huddling to stay warm.

The Stierly's won a session by getting a lot of votes for their session location/theme idea. Here are some of my favorites...

Three Boys

Sun, 28 Sep 2014 02:15:00 GMT

I met the M boys at Centennial Park for a quick session right before a huge rain storm.

Apparently they will no longer smile for pictures for their mom, only for me! Enjoy...

Fri, 30 May 2014 03:00:00 GMT

New Baby M!

Sat, 01 Mar 2014 04:30:00 GMT

Newborn portraits are best done between day 4 and 14. 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!

My Baby Turns 3!

I cannot believe my baby is turning 3! Every year I take a portrait in my backyard to show my kids' growth. Here is my favorite...

Dental Office Group Portrait

Mon, 13 Jan 2014 04:15:00 GMT

Dr. Marzo's dental office staff decided they wanted a group portrait in addition to individual headshots. I came in and we quickly got a group portrait of all of their staff. This portrait now graces their hallway...

Another Christmas with the S family!

Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:28:54 GMT

Another Christmas and I get to see the S family. 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…

Winter with the Y family

Fri, 27 Dec 2013 12:08:02 GMT

The Y family have been thinking about doing family pictures for over a year, and finally they set up a session. It happened to be winter, but they were excited to dress up the kids and play in the snow. It was cold but beautiful outside! We went inside for a few pictures without coats and red noses. Here are a few of my favorites…

Newlyweds First Christmas

Sun, 15 Dec 2013 18:08:17 GMT

This beautiful couple just got married about 6 weeks ago, but they did not have any “family” pictures with their “baby” aka their dog! Plus, they just moved to Corning, and this is their first Christmas. All great reasons for a portrait session. 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! Here are a few of my favorites…

Baby M’s Introduction Party

Sun, 15 Dec 2013 17:44:18 GMT

I just saw baby M for his newborn portraits and then I was called back for his introduction party! Beautiful decorations, a lot of loving people, and great food made this a wonderfully successful party. Baby M was not all that happy and did not want to sleep in the bassinet during the ceremonial part, but he was very agreeable to being passed around to guests to ohh and ahh over! Here are a few of my favorites from this very special occasion…

New Baby M

Sat, 30 Nov 2013 18:19:05 GMT

Indian families are amazingly supportive of their children when they welcome a new baby. Both sets of new baby M’s grandparents are visiting from India for 6 months! That is wonderful support for the new parents, and what a wonderful bond they will have with baby M. I went to their home to take some new baby portraits (he was about a month old), and of course family pictures too. Here are a few of my favorites…

Engineering firm

Thu, 28 Nov 2013 04:15:00 GMT

I visited this engineering firm in Elmira to take headshots of their head engineers for the website and newsletter. These were taken in their conference room. Here are a couple examples...

Pinnacle State Park with the A family

Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:55:55 GMT

Another birthday for O and I get to see the A family! This year we picked Pinnacle State Park in Addison. It was freezing! The wind was blowing so hard on the hill, but when we went into the woods it wasn’t as bad. Pinnacle is a gorgeous place for pictures, I plan on doing more sessions there in the future. Here are a few of my favorites…

Lifestyle session with the W family

Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:40:26 GMT

I met the W family at their home for a portrait session. I love lifestyle sessions, where you do what you normally do! The portraits are “homey” and showcase your interaction as a family. We had a great time reading books, playing on their playground, and running around the yard. Here are a few of my favorites…

A Sweet Wedding in Sayre

Sun, 10 Nov 2013 17:50:31 GMT

This was one wedding where the bride new what she wanted, was on time, together, and ready to breeze through it all. This couple and their family were a pleasure to work with and man could they party! It was so much fun to be on the dance floor with all of them! Here are a few of my favorites…

Watkins Glen International, Nascar Wedding

Sat, 09 Nov 2013 21:01:27 GMT

Nick grew up going to Nascar at the Glen. Then he met Dana and introduced her to racing. She fell in love with racing … and Nick. They had a whirlwind romance and decided on a destination wedding on the anniversary of their first date. They got married on the start/finish line, drove the track, and had a champagne toast in the winner’s circle! Here are a few of my favorites…

Dr. Marzo’s Dental Office

Sun, 03 Nov 2013 10:58:49 GMT

Dr. Marzo in Painted Post is my family’s dentist. They contacted me to take the headshots for their website. If you are looking for a dentist- definitely contact Dr. Marzo. Here are a few images of their amazing staff…

Family Session at Reisinger’s Apple Orchard

Fri, 25 Oct 2013 19:12:38 GMT

It was a gorgeous fall day to be at the apple orchard in Watkins Glen. Even better than the weather was being around the delicious apples! And even better than that was spending some time with 3 awesome and funny little guys. Here are a few of my favorites…

Corning HS Senior – Musician

Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:09:58 GMT

Chris is a musician and looking forward to graduating, college, and being involved in the music industry. Knowing what you want to do is such a gift – and Chris seems to have a clear path in front of him. I wish him the best of luck his senior year and on his journey! Here are a few of my favorites…

Fall at Taughannock Wedding

Wed, 16 Oct 2013 19:42:26 GMT

It was a beautiful fall day at Taughannock Falls State Park. There were a lot of people sight seeing and other weddings stopping by for pictures. Each wedding at the falls only has about a half hour and then another wedding comes, but it is all worth it because of the beautiful view! The fall colors only make it that much more magnificent. We went to Cayuga lake after the ceremony for a few more pictures. Here are a few of my favorites…

Watkins Glen Wedding

Wed, 16 Oct 2013 06:03:31 GMT

These Floridians decided on a destination wedding at the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel. I absolutely loved this wedding! The ceremony started with the ceremony from The Princess Bride- you can’t get much better than that! The bride’s mom made the favors- homemade strawberry jam to “preserve the memories” and grandma was dancing gangnam style at the reception! Everyone at the wedding were on their feet dancing the night away and to top it all a wonderful couple started their married life together. Here are a few of my favorites…

S Family at Spencercrest

Mon, 14 Oct 2013 19:17:02 GMT

The S family won this session at a silent auction at All Saints Acadamy; I donated a session for their fundraising campaign several months before. This lovely family had a wonderful time trekking through the woods with me, and the weather was just perfect! Here are a few of my favorites…

Fall Mini-Sessions at Spencercrest

Mon, 14 Oct 2013 19:04:01 GMT

It was a beautiful fall morning at Spencercrest Nature Center, and I enjoyed my time with each of the families! Plus I got a nice workout walking back and forth from the woods to the lake to the field and back again four times! Here are a few of my favorites…

Destination Ceremony at Niagara Falls

Sun, 13 Oct 2013 19:52:33 GMT

A couple from Atlanta Georgia decided to have a less traditional destination ceremony at Niagara Falls. They reserved the pavilion right at the falls and had everything planned out. 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…

Katie and Ken

Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:29:16 GMT

Katie and Ken got married at Katie’s grandparent’s vineyard. It was pouring out until it was time for ceremony, it slowly stopped and by the family and wedding party portraits the sun was shining! A relative had an old car and wooden guns and parked it outside the tasting building and we had a great time climbing on the car for pictures! Here are a few of my favorites…

Megan and Chris’s Backyard Circus wedding

Tue, 10 Sep 2013 20:55:50 GMT

I know Megan from grade school – I have a picture from a birthday party from elementary school, but I haven’t seen her since graduation. It was wonderful to be able to have a part in her wedding day. And what a wedding! This backyard circus wedding was simply amazing! Games, cotton candy, ice cream truck, trampoline, blankets for guests to sit on, vintage table settings under the big top- it had it all!!! On top of that, we ventured to Amherst State Park – better known as “The Nunnery”, for some group portraits of the wedding party and the bride and groom. It was an amazing day, one to remember for a long time. Here are a few of my favorites…

Karam Political Campaign

Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:15:57 GMT

Chris Karam is running for Corning City Council in my district and when he was out walking the neighborhood realized I am a photographer. The next week I trekked up the hill to his house to take some images of him with his family and also with the mayor to be used in his campaign items. Here are my favorites…

25th Anniversary

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:26:20 GMT

Debra and Martin’s 25th anniversary party at the Cayuga Nature Center is the same location they were married. After a repetition of their marriage vows, their son gave a detailed list of everyone/event that occurred throughout history that led up to Debra and Martin marrying 25 years ago – quite a wonderful speech! After dinner there was English country dancing into the night. Here are a few of my favorites…

Baby R!

Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:38:51 GMT

It was just two days after I photographed the “perfect basketball belly” that Baby R was ready to come and greet the world! Though I did not get to their house for a newborn session til she was a few weeks old, we still had a wonderful session and she posed for the camera like a pro- though she is used to it as dad enjoys taking a lot of pictures! Here are a few of my favorites…

Sisters

Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:34:44 GMT

I met with these adorable sisters at Centennial Park. They were perfect little models from the start and excited as could be to get their picture taken. The girls were ready to dance in the fountain, climb vines, lay in the grass, and hold each other’s hands. Here are a few of my favorites…

Rosa and William at Wagner

Sun, 18 Aug 2013 20:30:55 GMT

Rosa and William had a beautiful wedding at Wagner Winery on Seneca Lake. 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…

First Mini-sessions

Sun, 18 Aug 2013 20:09:16 GMT

This summer I did my first morning of mini-sessions! Thank you to the five families for signing up! We had a fun morning at Centennial Park in Corning and couldn’t have had better weather for it. Here are my favorites…

Nicole and Sal

Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:48:28 GMT

Nicole and Sal got married in Mexico at a beautiful ceremony on the beach. No, I was not there, but I saw pictures :). I was invited to help capture the memories of their reception on Grand Island at the Buffalo Launch Club with friends and family. It was a fun night of family, food, and dance-offs that will not be forgotten! Here are a few of my favorites…

Brandi and Courtney

Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:08:30 GMT

Brandi and Courtney couldn’t have had better weather, after a week of 90 degree humid temperatures, it was warm with a nice breeze. Brandi’s dress was absolutely gorgeous and you can’t beat the groom wearing purple sneakers! We were able to spend some time taking portraits at the water and then again at sunset. Certainly a picture perfect wedding, and I wish them the best of luck in their new life together!

6 Month Cuteness!

Thu, 18 Jul 2013 21:30:01 GMT

I just love this baby and her adorable rolls, she has an infectious smile and is just so cute! 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!

Summer Baby

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 18:28:35 GMT

This Fourth of July baby was cute as can be! Daddy is away serving with the military, but luckily with our wonderful modern technology he can Skype (which isn’t the same – but a LOT better than letters!). Here are a few of my favorites of this beautiful baby!

Geneseo Air Show – The Greatest Show on Turf!

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 12:28:06 GMT

My family and I attended the airshow in Geneseo. There was quite a crowd! The lines for food were very long, bathroom lines were longer, but the show was excellent. The pilots did so many flips and nosedives my stomach turned. They even had pyrotechnics and parachutes. Here are a few of my favorites, if you are interested in purchasing any prints let me know!

Perfect Basketball Belly!

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:19:25 GMT

I met D and D at Centennial Park with her mom visiting from India. D has the most perfect basketball belly! It honestly looks like she is just holding a ball, lol. They are the sweetest couple and I am very much looking forward to meeting their little one! Here are a couple of my favorites…

Twins

Mon, 08 Jul 2013 12:17:02 GMT

Centennial Park in Corning with adorable twin girls on an oppressively hot and humid evening. 18 months old and full of energy, I don’t think they stayed in one place for 30 seconds the entire session! We had a fun (exhausting) session chasing them and attempting to get them to look in the same direction at the same time! Can they get any cuter? Here are a few of my favorites…

Livestock Water Recycling

Sun, 30 Jun 2013 19:30:00 GMT

Livestock Water Recycling is teaming up with local farms (I visited one in Bath) to transform manure (ie: from dairy farms) into fertilizer and clean drinking water. 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…

Siecieska Addition

Tue, 25 Jun 2013 19:00:34 GMT

I had taken a couple photographs of baby Beau in the hospital, and then met them at home to get the whole family! 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…

John and Joanne are engaged!

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 05:46:06 GMT

I have known John since he was about 5 years old! He is one of my brothers friends from school/boy scouts/ etc. It was wonderful to meet his fiancé and see how much in love they are! We met at Letchworth State Park and stopped at many of his favorite spots remembered from childhood family camping trips. It was a beautiful vintage inspired portrait session with a gorgeous background of the park. It was hard to choose my favorites, but here are a few of them…

John and Lauren’s Wedding

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 05:35:07 GMT

You may remember John and Lauren from their engagement session a few months ago at Elmira College, we were back in the neighborhood for their beautiful wedding! Their ceremony was at St. Patricks, portraits at Elmira College, and reception at the Water St. Holiday Inn – everything flowed wonderfully and they had a fun and fabulous day! We had a great time taking portraits at the college and even ran from a dinosaur! (check out my facebook page to see this image!). Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy…

Cortney and Nick

Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:47:00 GMT

I met Cortney and Nick at Tanglewood Nature preserve. They are expecting twins, a boy and a girl! It was hot and humid but a beautiful day! Here are a few of my favorites…

Renee and Raymond’s Wedding

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:17:31 GMT

Renee and Raymond had the perfect setting for their wedding on the beach at Hammondsport! The sun was shining, the clouds were amazing, but it was cold and windy! They made the best of it, Ray even gave Renee his jacket during the ceremony, it was beautiful. Their reception was right next to the beach at the fire hall. Congratulations to the happy couple! Here are a few of my favorites…

Beau

Thu, 30 May 2013 21:21:14 GMT

I was able to visit beautiful baby Beau at the hospital and take a couple pictures. It is amazing what you can do in a hospital bed! I am so happy to share in the joy of the new member of this family! Here they are…

Brittany and Adam’s Wedding

Sat, 25 May 2013 20:17:00 GMT

Brittany and Adam had a wonderful ceremony at St Mary our Mother in Horseheads, the ceremony was both poignant and full of laughs as the father had quite the sense of humor! The reception was lovely at the Italian American Veterans club in Elmira with a lot of great food and fun dancing. I wish them the best of luck in their future life together! Here are a few of my favorites…

First Communion

Tue, 14 May 2013 14:54:52 GMT

I went to my husband’s cousin’s first communion and took a few pictures of her and her family. First communions are so special for the person, the family, and the congregation and it is nice to have a few pictures to commemorate it by. Here are my favorites…

Fun at the beach!

Fri, 10 May 2013 20:53:26 GMT

I had a few minutes to stop at a beach on lake Erie the other day with my family. I happened to have my camera with me and I couldn’t help but take a few pictures. Here are my favorites, enjoy!

Law Firm Portrait

Tue, 07 May 2013 17:46:00 GMT

Last week I met with the attorneys at the Law Office of Jacob Welch in Corning to take their portraits for a new ad campaign. We walked around their office building and took several poses in various locations. Here are my favorites…

Miller Family

Sun, 05 May 2013 21:44:05 GMT

I met with the Miller family at Centennial Park in Corning last week. It was a beautiful day, perfect for pictures, A was excellent and earned his reward of a new car from Wegmans! Here are my favorites…

Family session at Spencer Crest

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 07:14:38 GMT

I met with Steve, Vanessa and Maddy at Spencer Crest Nature Center in Corning for a walk (and pictures). We ended up taking a wrong turn and our walk turned into a HIKE! Maddy certainly earned her ice cream reward after this session! We had a great time wandering around the woods, pretending to be deer, and trekking around the large amounts of mud puddles. Here are my favorites…

Charlotte’s First Birthday!

Sat, 20 Apr 2013 19:48:38 GMT

I can’t believe little Charlotte is 1 already! She was such a doll with her pretty bows and necklaces! The poor baby was teething, and Charlotte still smiled and posed for the camera. It is amazing how well cheerios works to keep babies happy! Here are a few of my favorites…

Peyton’s First Birthday!

Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:06:33 GMT

I met with Peyton and his family to celebrate his first birthday! The field was extremely muddy but we trekked around and eventually found some dry spots. He was hesitant to smile at first, but then with some tricks his parents had, he was smiling away! Happy birthday little man! Here are a few of my favorites from the session…

Liam’s First Birthday!

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 06:34:27 GMT

Last year I photographed baby Liam, I was so glad to be called to photograph him for his first birthday and watch him dig into his colorful delicious cake! It took him some time and coaxing by mom but eventually he got into his cake and got his cake on everything/everyone! I will be seeing him and his family again in June for John and Lauren’s wedding! Til then, enjoy my favorites from Liam’s special birthday!!!

Misty and Anthony

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:17:22 GMT

Misty and Anthony have been dating for 1 year! They celebrated this anniversary with a trip to Corning – complete with a couple’s massage, a visit to CMOG, and portraits at Old World Café and Centennial Park. Misty looked beautiful and braved the cold like a champ!!! It was freezing outside- I was glad I was wearing my coat. Here are a few of my favorites…

New Baby!

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:23:00 GMT

My last post was a belly session and now we get to meet the little one! The baby was one week old, and I came over to their home and spent some time taking pictures. It was so wonderful seeing a new baby again! With a new baby you want to get pictures taken but don’t necessarily want to leave your home, this is the best of both worlds. It was very difficult to narrow it down but here are a few of my favorites…

Belly Session

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:37:00 GMT

My best friends in Corning are having a baby and now that she is nearing her due date we met in Centennial park where they got married and in their home to take some portraits of her beautiful belly! Here are a few of my favorites…

This is such a magical time and I wish I had done portraits with my first – if you are expecting think about scheduling a session near your due date!

Lauren and John Engagement Session

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 05:01:00 GMT

In the fall I photographed baby Liam, and then I was contacted by his soon to be Aunt to photograph her wedding! I met John and Lauren at Elmira College around Cowles Hall to do their engagement session. Though it was a bit cold it was a warm enough day to go coatless, and we got some great shots! It was hard to narrow down, but here are a few of my favorites…

Siecieska Family

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 20:36:00 GMT

I have been photographing Bristol since she was only a few weeks old. She is growing up so fast and now she has a baby brother on the way! I came to their home one night for a quick family session before they took the tree down since we missed a fall session this year. Here are a few of my favorites, they happen to all be black and white…

Michelle and Dave’s Wedding

Fri, 28 Dec 2012 19:57:00 GMT

Michelle and Dave got married in an incredibly cute little church in Northern Pennsylvania. 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. You may recall Michelle from the boudoir session a couple months ago, and it was great to see her again! Here are a few of my favorites…

Mother and Son

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 13:34:00 GMT

I met this mother and son duo in Centennial Square the other day, it was threatening rain and cold, but they wanted their pictures in the square with the holiday decorations. Needless to say we were done pretty quick but I think we got some great shots! Here are my favorites…

Swinford Family

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:44:00 GMT

Right before Thanksgiving I went to the Swinford home for family portraits. Lilly and Trent were very engaging, asked lots of questions and told me lots of stories. They have a beautiful home and it was perfect for pictures. Here are my favorites…

Anderson Family

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 05:21:00 GMT

The Anderson Family and I went “bear” hunting at Spencercrest Nature Center, it was pretty chilly, but we trekked down a trail to the pond. The sun was shinning and it was beautiful! We warmed up in the car ride down to Centennial Park for a few more pictures, the sun was going down and it was definitely cold so we went into Old World Cafe to warm up again! Here are a few of my favorites…

Carson and Family

Tue, 20 Nov 2012 13:19:00 GMT

I met Carson and his family at Sperr Park in Big Flats. 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 and Chuck’s Wedding

Mon, 19 Nov 2012 20:03:00 GMT

You may remember Suzette and Chuck from their engagement session earlier in the year. 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…

Baby Liam

Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:00:00 GMT

Baby Liam has the cutest chubby face and gorgeous blue eyes! He was the best baby, even though it was sprinkling out he was still smiley, and I don’t think his Halloween costume could get any cuter!!! Here are my favorites…

Molly and Paul’s Wedding

Mon, 29 Oct 2012 12:52:00 GMT

Molly and I grew up together, we lived a couple blocks away and our parents were friends. 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…

Dewing Family

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 11:17:00 GMT

Amy wanted pictures at the lake with vibrant clouds, unfortunately there was a lack of clouds that day – but we had such warm weather it was remarkable!!! 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…

Maddy

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 20:24:00 GMT

Maddy and her mom met me at Centennial Park for her senior portraits. 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…

Zoe

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 19:24:00 GMT

I have known Zoe since she was a little girl and now she is a beautiful woman, soon to be graduating from high school. 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…

Polak Family

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:48:00 GMT

Before I had the session with my sister-in-law, I met with my husband’s uncle and his family. 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…

Koenig Family

Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:59:00 GMT

I met my husband’s sister and family at Delaware Park in Buffalo on a beautiful but very, very chilly day. 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…

Baby Zara

Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:01:00 GMT

Baby Zara did not want her picture taken this morning. 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…

Fuller Family

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 19:42:00 GMT

I photographed the Fuller girls last year when the baby was teenier, it is amazing how much they change in a year! 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…

Weisman Family

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 19:14:00 GMT

I met with the Weisman family at the overlook at Harris Hill. 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!

Kimberleigh and Joe’s Wedding

Kimberleigh and Joe got married at the cutest church and community center! It was in Nelson PA -absolutely perfect for a small wedding.
