High School Senior Portraits + Amazing Cheerleading Jumps

I cannot get enough of senior portraits! Initially I was nervous/intimidated to photograph high school senior portraits, but each senior I meet, each dream and goal I hear, and personality I learn I fall more and more in love with photographing them!

Haley was so sweet and a little shy at first (who isn’t initially in front of a camera!) she warmed up as the session went on and then we went to a local school field where she was this strong, powerful, athletic, fearless women! It was amazing to see and photograph her jumps; the strength and power was incredible! She certainly has a passion for cheerleading and seeing her dedication to the sport as well as her sweet, friendly personality I am certain she will have a wonderful future! I wish you the best and thank you for having me!

This is absolutely my favorite time of year.  So much so my husband and I created our own holiday, FALLADAY 🙂 For the past 6 years we have eaten breakfast in the same diner, taken a drive around Skaneateles lake to view colorful foliage, picked our pumpkins for carving, and our apples for baking.  The image you see in the flyer is where we spent our 5th Falladay and is also where we got engaged.

Every part of the season makes me happy; the smells, colors, sounds of blowing leaves and breaths of crisp air.  I would love to help create memories by photographing your family portraits this time of year.  Capture your little ones playing in the leaves, all yal walking in the park or a great portrait by the lake.

Country Home Family Session

I met Alex when I was a teenager,  she is my childhood best friends cousin.  I have seen Alex twice in the past 15 years so I was absolutely excited to hear from her and that they wanted me to photograph their family portraits! Alex grew up around horses and it was so beautiful to see her new life as an adult, a mother, a wife, and that her love for horses hasn’t changed.  The thing that changed is that she & Sam have an adorable, sweet, little girl to share these amazing animals with.  Their home is beautiful and I loved every moment I spent with them and their baby girl.  She just amazed me, being just under 3 years old, she jumped on her pony no questions asked.  The laughter and excitement as the horse trotted made my heart smile.  Horses are beautiful gifts and the love this family has for them was touching to see and photograph.  Thank you so much for having me.

Just love kids being kids, one of my favorite 🙂

Newborn Session_Little Musician Zaiden

I just love his name! His mother and I had a great time photographing this peanut! After all the wiggles and jiggles it took some good ole country music to get him to get him relaxed. He has the cutest facial expressions and is one handsome maybe musician-to-be like his father! EnjoyIMG_0028-Edit IMG_0064-EditIMG_0074-EditIMG_0078-Edit-2IMG_0083-EditIMG_9958-Edit IMG_9991-Edit

Backyard Phoenix Wedding

Backyard BBQ Pheonix Wedding : Alex + Alexis

What a beautiful day photographing the marriage of Alex & Alexis.  It started off with cloudy skies and a patch of rain, for good luck 🙂 and then the sky opened up for a warm, sunny, backyard bbq reception.  Filled with laughter, family, and kids running around, it was wonderful to experience and truly was what Alex and Alexis envisioned for their wedding day. So much love went into this wedding.  Their grandmother hand made all the flowers, boutonnieres, decorations, centerpieces and the fantastic cake! Alex’s brother provided the music, and his parents their home, cousins with serving food & beverages etc.  It was beautiful to see how the entire family came together to give them a special day. IMG_1275_Fotor_Collage IMG_9984

Syracuse Nationals 2014

What a wonderful year at the Syracuse Nationals! It was their 15th year and there had to be 8,000+ cars this year! My husband and I for the first time camped there all weekend, and it certainly won’t be the last! We just loved waking up to the roaring engines, whining blowers, loappy cams, and squealing tires right outside our camper! Grabbing a cup of coffee, sitting in my chair watching the cars roll in outside my window at 6:00am was absolute bliss.  Not only is this every car lovers dream this event helps raise money for charities, raising just over $104,000.00 last year!

I had so much fun photographing these beautiful pieces of art & history: the curves, details, engines, creativity and personality put into these vehicles is amazing!

I have to start with my husbands first project car! Then followed by my truck! Well the one that I would love to have one day…

 I just love everything about this event.  The 50’s music playing in the background as you walk through 1000’s of different vehicles, the excitement and wonder of where this car has been and the streets it drove through 30-80+ years ago, meeting the wonder people who own and have the same passion for vehicles, it all just adds to viewing this beautiful pieces of machinery.

I hope you enjoyed! Were you there? Share your experience or come to this event in 2015!

Thanks for visiting!

Family Session_Beautiful Home In Cato, NY

It was a crisp 60 degree “summer day” in Cato, NY photographing this beautiful family.  My husband and I have been friends with Eric and Karen for years and I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family portraits! Eric and Karen are great friends and wonderful people and after meeting their family I certainly saw where it came from! The family session was very laid back & fun, full of laughs and smiles…and frowns…The little boy made me fight for a smile but once his parents flipped him around he had the biggest cutest smile & I couldn’t get enough! The little girl was such a cutie, after the initial shy meet she was full of smiles from the first snap 🙂 I love the idea that all these wonderful people came from these two falling in love…
