I met Kayla through her cousin Liza – and am so happy that I did!

They were married on a chilly, windy Saturday in September – but the rain held out just in time!

It was such a beautiful wedding!

Such a beautiful house with perfect details!

I love small weddings!

I love everything about those photos!

Thank you again Kayla for trusting me with your wedding memories!

I met Rebecca through FACEBOOK – I had a last minute cancellation and she managed to squeeze in!

We met in Waverly and her family was so sweet!

Thank you so much Rebecca for meeting with me! Can’t wait to see you guys again!

I’ve known Adrianne since high school – we haven’t seen each other in a LONG time though!

She recently said YES to John! We met in the beginning of September at a winery on Seneca Lake and Watkins Glen for their engagement session.

Have a GREAT wedding in the Outer Banks next May!

Thank you for allowing me to capture this moment in your life! It was so great to see you again Adrianne – and nice to meet you John!

Liza and I went to high school together and reconnected on FACEBOOK. She makes my tutus and a whole bunch of custom designs – www.memdezines.com.

We met at the beginning of September to celebrate her upcoming 30th birthday – and take some photos!

Liza has a great husband and 3 beautiful children – two of whom I just had to snap a few pictures of before our session!

How sweet are those girls?

I know these are all the same shot – but I couldn’t choose – at all!

Liza – thanks for getting together – and I am so happy that you love your photos!

Justine & Chris were married in Altoona on a beautiful August evening.

I met with Justine and her girls while my second shooter – Danielle Dickerson – spent the afternoon with the boys!

Justine & Chris chose to see each other before the ceremony – getting all the photos out of the way!

Thank you so much for having us capture your day!

I met Aszur on FACEBOOK. She is friends with a former bride of mine and saw her photos online. She is a budding photographer and wanted to know if we could meet for a chat sometime. We have become great friends!

While I was at my parents in early September – she brought her family up for some photos!

Thanks for bringing your family up! We had a great night out with you guys!!!

I met Tori through FACEBOOK – surprised?

We had a GREAT time at her session at the end of August!

Thanks again Tori!!!!

Today is October 11th – your first birthday!

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you – the difference is that the tears come less and less when I do.

I imagine that you are walking now and getting into all sorts of things in heaven – I wonder if they have child locks?

I think about how different our lives would be if you were here. My day would consist of loving on you and cuddling instead of editing and capturing miracles for everyone else. I wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much sleep as I have. I would be marveling every day at the beauty of life and the miracle of your sweet smile.

Right now your daddy and I are waiting to see your little brother or sister – in 11 days. Something I doubted would happen.

I am so scared. I am so nervous. When we opened our eyes to see you – you were already gone – and it is the only way I know.

I am waiting to see your little sibling and be able to breathe again. We are waiting for your little cousin in February and as much joy as it brings, it brings tears to my eyes to know that you won’t play together – you won’t spend summers at Grammas – you won’t be able to be that bossy oldest cousin – like I was.

But – like I said – the pain of you not being here lessens every day – but that doesn’t mean we don’t love you any less – more actually.

Enoch – I can only imagine your face covered in that first birthday cake – smiling through the sugar. And it makes me cry and so happy to call you mine.

Happy birthday sweet son of mine.

I met Sharon on FACEBOOK – lovely FACEBOOK!

Her twins were not so happy about having their photos taken – but we made it work!

Thanks so much for having me photograph your family!!!

I donated a photo session to the LAKEVIEW LODGE TRIVIA that we attend on Thursday nights! Kerri and her family were the winners!

We met before trivia the last week in August for a quick session with her awesome family!

Thanks again for a great session! I hope to see you next year when *K* is a senior!
