Lots of Little Ones!

Sessions for kids are the hardest, easiest and most fun sessions...all in one!  Hardest because sometimes they're wiggle worms, easiest because they relax me and bring back memories from MY childhood and most fun because kids are hilarious. I always look forward to a session photographing kids...especially when there are 5 of them!

These were taken as a birthday present for these cousin's grandmother. She wanted a few photographs of her grandchildren in her garden.  Fantastic idea!

We also snuck in a few of each grandchild while we had everyone together, 2 birds with one stone!

Thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of this birthday gift <3

Mama to be | Maternity

When Sara contacted me to do her maternity photos I was so excited.  It's been a while since I've had a maternity session and my creative juices were flowing! 

This one was Sara's idea...and I LOVE it!

After the Lake we headed to my favorite field...the lighting there is heavenly.

Absolutely beautiful Sara, you have (had at this point!) the perfect little bump :) Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!!

Amanda & Luke | Rochester, NY wedding photographer

Amanda loves to run.  I mean LOVES to run, as in marathons every year.  I wish I could run more then a few miles before keeling over :)  Every year she takes part in the Walt Disney World Marathon.  Last year, after 26 miles, she had a surprise waiting for her.  Luke, on his knee waiting to propose to her.  Now THAT is a sweet reward for hard work <3  Of course she said yes!

Her wedding had a Disney theme to it, from her shoes to the centerpieces to the music that was played at dinner.  It was her perfect day, it even decided to stop raining for a day so everyone could enjoy the deck at Jack's Place.

We started off getting ready at Amanda's mom (Mama Dron)'s house :)

 

Family heirloom

 

 Amanda let me steal her for a few portraits before moving on with the day.  I love it when brides leave time for photos after they've gotten dressed.  It gives me a chance to take their photo when they are full of excitement and anticipation!

Then we headed to the track...had to get a quick sprint in before heading to the ceremony ;)

Then off to Jack's Place for the ceremony and reception. Here are a few detail shots!

 

 The ceremony was beautiful...

Followed by a few formals and bridal portraits!

Dinner was delicious as well as the cake...and BEN AND JERRY's ice cream stand :O awesome!

Jen, Amanda's sister and her husband Bob showed off their dance moves. Mom & Dad danced as well...I believe I heard "we did it!" from them as they danced. Their 2 beautiful girls are both married now, congratulations indeed :)

Thank you so much for letting me document your day! <3
