A couple of casual portraits, just because the evening light is always so nice. I simply opened up the front door to the house and had him stand in doorway. Special locations aren’t necessary….it’s all about the light.

Every June her Mom & I have made plans for her birthday session, but this year….the year she turned 7…was the year I was able to ask *her* what she wanted to do. She’s getting so old so fast. Before you know it her and The Youngest will be getting married. Hey, a girl can dream, can’t she?!
This year she requested flowers and trees. I added a field of wheat to the mix as well.

The girl I started photographing at 6 months is turning into such a wonderful model…


…but she still does silly well.




Honey, thank you for the privilege of spending a couple of hours with you today! I love to watch you grow up through my viewfinder.

I’d also like to take a moment to thank my assistant today. He did a wonderful job keeping track of my coffee and lens caps, which is *exactly* what my assistant’s job is. He’s cheap, too! (He got paid in Silly Bandz.) He asked me if I wanted to take his picture during one of Rosebud’s wardrobe changes, and then promptly faced away from the sun and knelt down so I could shoot from above. Can you tell these two have had their pictures taken by me before?

Friday night I met Terese & David at Clark Reservation in Jamesville, NY, for their Engagement Session. Although my family and I spend a ton of time at State parks when the weather is nice, this was one I hadn’t been to before, and it turns out they hadn’t, either. It was a great location for a session, and I can’t wait to go back.
They have a 20 month old son, so we made sure to include him in the session. He’s got the most beautiful blue eyes!


The park has stairs leading down to a small lake, so we headed down to check it out. On the way we found this ledge. See the heart to the right of Dave’s head?

I love capturing these candid moments!

LOL! This is why it’s important to always have your camera ready!


One more family shot before we called it a wrap.

Terese & David, thank you for a fun session! I’m sorry I made you walk up 1,365,487 stairs in the hot, humid weather…thanks for being such good sports. See you in a few weeks!
