245 | 121 Our beloved play fort box went away in the trash this morning.  Our oven came in this a few weeks back and it was well used and loved by the boys.  They played in it every day.  Yesterday, it ended up outside in the front yard–Carter had a couple of final hoo-rah’s […]

A photo session with just one child is such a different pace than any other session–for the most part, with a child this young, we just kind of play and hang out and I snap pictures while they go on their merry way.  Occasionally, I try to set something up, make some silly faces and […]

246 |120 Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are Wii days in our house.  We have been trying to limit Brayden’s playing to those three days–otherwise we find that it’s so easy to let him play everyday and sometimes we lose track of time.  It’s very easy to do.  So on Wii days, the boys all huddle […]

Emily and Kevin were married on Seneca Lake–the sky threatened rain all day, and it poured about an hour before the wedding, but the sky held off for us so that we could do some pictures outside.  After the ceremony, the bride and groom and their families traveled to a couple of wineries to do […]

247 | 119 As I type this, I probably could fall asleep in about 3.2 seconds if I closed my eyes.  I had mini-sessions today–a blitz of 15-20 minute sessions for ten different families.  It’s like a concentrated four hours of thinking, keeping a conversation flowing, posing, chasing little ones around and being silly.  I […]

250 | 116 We have an awesome property location.  And that’s definitely one thing that we missed while we were away for three years.  Our street itself is quiet, and we are blessed to be down at the end of a cul-de-sac.  But even better is that there is a church behind our house.  It’s […]

251 | 115 It’s funny the things you do with your first child that sometimes slides a bit with your second.  I was just thinking about this the other day while I was driving with just Carter and had a CD with nursery rhyme songs on it playing.  I was thinking about how he is […]

253 | 113 This little boy struggles through many mornings.  He wakes up at seven.  Complains and cries for much of the morning.  Needs to be held.  Asks for fruit snacks a million times.  And sometimes he lays in bed because he knows he can have his blankie and paci only while he’s up there. […]

Wow.  That pretty much just sums it up.  I award these children the best behaved kids I’ve ever shot.  Seriously, it’s sessions like this that make me fall deeper in love with photography.  I can relate it to once, a few years back, while golfing with James and my father-in-law in Florida.  It was a […]
