You might remember reading this post a year ago …
This sweet little babe turned ONE on Tuesday the 9th!
That was taken the afternoon after she was born – CANNOT believe it has been a year!
On Sunday she had her 1st birthday party!
*M* and gramma …
HAPPY BIRTHDAY *M* – we love you dearly!
My friend Mike Murray is an AMAZING artist!
I took a photo of Ella nearly two years ago that I adore – and wanted Mike to create a painting of the photo. We talked about it and he wanted to try a fabric canvas instead of a traditional painting. He was – and is – busy with Chiropractic school and didn’t have time to devote to the project immediately – I told him I didn’t have a deadline.
He dropped off his creation this weekend – about a year and a few months after we first talked – and it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!
The photo of Ella on the L and the wonderful “painting” on the R.
I took it down to show Amy and Jim – and Ella had to get her picture with it!
*A* is on the L with “her Ella and *M* on the R with “her” Ella!
Thanks again Mike – it is AMAZING and completely blew past my expectations!
I went to Rochester with Aunt L and my cousin Matt to see their daughter/sister-in-law getting ordained!
After getting lost and confused in Geneva (where we stopped for pizza) and threw ourselves for a loop – we FINALLY got on the right path to the church.
The directions google gave us were to the OLD church which was in a funeral home – we were so confused and tired – but in good company.
I wanted to get some pictures of Megan being ordained but there were way too many people in the way!
So instead I had to settle for pictures with my little 2nd cousin *J*.
He looks just like his dad and his uncle when they were his age.
He is 7 months old and just a little baby ball of comfort!
Matt and *J* – what a proud uncle!
Aunt L had my second camera shooting those images.
LOOK AT HIM!
The worship service before the ceremony.
Aunt L and her little pumpkin.
What a sweet babe!
What a sweet family God has blessed us with!
Thanks again Megan and BJ for having us!
I went to high school with Liza. She has 3 gorgeous children with her hubbie and the youngest – *M* – turns 1 this month!
Thanks again Liza – can’t wait to take family pictures with all of you!
The *P* family is expecting their second sweetness.
*E* is waiting for his little sister to arrive!
*A* and *M* – thank you for letting me capture your moments. I can’t wait to meet little *L*.
*C* turned a year old on the 14th …
*C* is Johna and Matt’s great nephew – I think – and he has stolen a small part of my heart for sure …
Thanks again *A* for allowing me to capture this moment of your lives!
I photographed the *C* wedding in November. The bride referred a client to me that booked for this August – winning a free photo session!
*K* turns 1 today …
The image above is my favorite from the session …
He was a trooper walking on the rocks …
I love the worn look …
Same photo with some softness and fading …
Looks like a SUNNY day … I am loving PHOTOSHOP!
This might be my next fave from the morning …
Same photo with some sunshine …
I rarely use SEPIA tone – but I love this one …
A little pout – soft and faded …
Same pout – vintage effect …
Love this one – soft and faded …
Let’s make people think it was a sunny day …
I am loving PHOTOSHOP more and more – I still have a ton to learn and a photographer I met at the EXPO is meeting with me next week to help me figure some stuff out!
Thanks again Holly and Matt – we had to reschedule this shoot numerous times – but we finally got it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY *K*!
Talking about sweethearts – *M* is such a doll baby who steals my heart everytime I see her.
A few weeks ago – *J* wanted some pictures of her sweetness – so we set up a quick photo session …
She is an incredible child!
Amy’s friend wanted a newborn session for her new granddaughter *I* – which was one of the main reasons we went to Sunbury.
I haven’t done a newborn session in almost two years – so I was VERY EXCITED!
She looks so deep in thought!
Such a sweetie!
Thanks again Kathy – *I* is such a sweetie!
Jared went to school with *B* – and we became really close friends right around the time our wedding. *B* and my sister were really close too and we all hung out quite a bit. *B* has since moved down state and we stay in touch by email and facebook – although not as much as we should – it always seems to be like that.
Last December *B* married *G* and I took the pictures at their wedding. They had a sweet little girl in September and we waited until Thanksgiving break to schedule a session. *R* is such a cute baby – with the biggest cheeks I have ever seen!
Thanks again *B* and *G* – she is such a sweetie and it was so good to see you both.
See you at Christmas!
