Baby Peyton

It's been maybe about a year and a half since I began taking pictures professionally. To think about that truly amazes me, realizing how far I've come and the relationships I've built along the way.

In the summer of '08 I took family pictures for Denise, Pete and their little one year old girl Riley. Since then Riley has had another birthday and they added a new one to their little family.

At a precious 10 days old, meet Peyton Avery.



















Welcome to the world sweet girl, knowing you are loved beyond what you will ever know.

Jon and Ariel down the aisle

A cold day in October is what we woke up to the morning of Jon and Ariel's wedding. So many beautiful days we'd had, and this was no exception. The only downside was the absence of heat!

But when has anyone let a little cold get in the way of marrying their one and only. The one that matches them perfectly. That's who Jon is for Ariel, and Ariel for Jon.

Their ceremony was held in a beautiful Catholic church that was a combination of modern and traditional I had not yet seen. And the reception was held at Brunswick Greens in Troy, NY. Yes, I traveled all the way to Troy for this wedding! However, the next time I travel for a wedding, I'm voting for somewhere a bit warmer ;)

I had the opportunity to go with Andrea on an infant shoot this week and it was one of the coolest experiences I've had yet as a photographer. I had the chance to sit back and watch, not worry about being in charge of what was going on. But rather just observe and take pictures as I saw opportunities fly by.

The chemistry between this family is nothing short of amazing. They flowed with each other so well and as a result were just unbelievably easy to photograph. These pictures make me want to have a baby... or not :) Maybe someday...

I've been slowly but surely catching up with work that I began over the summer and never finished... I get so stressed about this stuff, but when I sit down and just do it I feel so good. And I enjoy doing it so bonus! Why don't I just stay on top of stuff? Then I could have fun every day and not have a ton of backed up stuff to do!

Anyways, one of the highlights of the summer was my best friend from high school, Beka, coming back to NY for a visit. She came and stayed overnight with me. It was totally a grown up sleepover :) We had the best time talking so long into the night... and in March I'm driving out to Denver with Steve to visit her and her husband for a week! I am soooo excited!

While she was here, we went out to take a few pictures of her (and me too, but I was NOT looking so good that day... so we're just gonna leave those alone ;)









Can't touch this... serious hotness lol



We are goofballs... that's all I have to say about this.

It's sooo good to have friends that grow with you through the years, and Beka has definitely been one of those for me. We are going to have such a great time in Denver, I can't wait!
