Love & Passion – Blog Carousel Post – Buffalo NY Newborn Child Family Photographer

August 14th, 2011

Yay! It’s time for another photographer blog carousel. I’m so glad too!

This month the theme is Love & Passion. So many ways this can be interpreted through images and I had so many ideas of things I wanted to photograph to show it too. Then I started to get sentimental about my baby turning 1 in just 3 short weeks. My last baby. I don’t want anymore babies but oh the ache in my heart that a year has FLOWN by.

So this is me. Raw. It is just seconds after Mycah was born and the image was taken by my husband. It is my first time holding Mycah in my arms after 9 months of feeling him inside my belly. I remember the moment. I was shushing him just a bit, kissing his head, smelling him even, trying to take it all in. It was wonderful, absolutely perfect – just as he is and has been this past year in our lives.

When you are all done head on over to my amazing friend Marianne Drenthe, Chicago Family Photographer by Marmalade Photography

And just so that we can be fair – an image that I took too. Do you see what I see??

Blog Carousel – Buffalo NY Baby Portraits Child Family Photographer

July 17th, 2011

So happy it is time again for the monthly photographer carousel, this month is laughter. It has been too long, or at least it seems that way. I feel like summer is slipping away so quickly, like a giant game of tug-of-war and trust me, I am loosing! So so busy these past few weeks yet so many more to look forward to. Despite the craziness that surrounds us all this time of year, take a little while to go through each of the photographers posts. They are all amazing, as if you’d expect anything less!

On to my images here, using my kids again. I love that most about this project, forcing me to photograph my kids in some way. First up is Mycah. I love his age now the expressions on babies at 7-10 months are hysterical. This is exactly him when he is just happy and LAUGHING. Then there is what is seemingly a simple image of my son Justin using the app Camera+ for those interested. Its pretty sweet. I love it because it is a true smile, laugh coming from him. He makes a goofy smile lately, camera shy, so getting a real laugh and smile from him is priceless. Laughter is an important part of summer vacation right?

When you are done here please go check out Rochester, NY Newborn Child and Family Photographer Amanda Padgham. Not only is she one of my dearest friends, she is an amazing photographer. Of course, since it is summer and all, get yourself your favorite summer beverage and hop on the “ride” to visit everyone’s blogs. (Side note – have you had a passion tea lemonade from Starbucuks? Yummy!)

summer fun / buffalo ny child photographer family portraits

July 1st, 2011

How is your summer going?! My iphone is my “go-to” for all things photo related with my kids (unless I need a more formal portrait for the wall), so I figured I have been way overdue for another installment of Family on Friday. Here is a small glimpse into what has been going on the first two weeks of summer. I am now seeing that I have lots of my two guys Reid & Jude and I am way low on everyone else. Must take care of that! Enjoy!

Ice cream for dinner at King Condrells in Kenmore. If you have never been, you MUST go. Yummm. It was to celebrate the last day of school!

Someone graduated pre-k! (How on earth is he going to Kindergarten on me in a few short weeks?! Seriously too, how cute are these two little men. Reid will miss Jude SO much next year, it breaks my heart.

We had some quiet, snuggly time with Mom.

We built a fence with Daddy.

And of course with little boys – we have done a lot of bug searching. Here’s a little bit of luck for you!

summer fun / buffalo ny child & family photographer

June 28th, 2011

Oh the places we will go, the things we will do and the people we will see. I have big plans for this summer (although admittedly off to a rough start!) I found some great ideas online of things you can do with your children this summer and wanted to share. Let me know if you do any of these ideas!

100 Bits of Summer Fun

Racetrack for marbles with a pool noodle!

Sponge Balls (love this instead of water balloons because they are reusable!)

family on friday l buffalo ny photographer

March 11th, 2011

Ok so this is going to be another new feature on my blog. I am pretty much an open book with my family. My family is my life – as I am sure it is for you too. So I am hoping that each Friday I will either share an older picture that has a lot of meaning to me (and I’ll talk a bit about why of course) or a picture from that week (this is really to make me more diligent about photographing my kids, you know about the shoemakers kids right? haha). I hope that you all enjoy following along and seriously, since it’s my family, really I love to see lovin’ about my kids so share and comment like crazy. It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

First up – our vacation to Long Island last summer. Oh how I am deeply craving summer and a trip to the ocean. I grew up on Long Island and as my husband says. . .”You can take the girl off Long Island but you can’t take the Long Island out of the girl.” Don’t get me wrong I really love Buffalo, but my heart, it’s on Long Island. Jude’s hair started to go curly that summer and it was hysterical to see. Especially since the rest of us are pin straight. It’s one of my most favorite images of him for that reason. Then my daughter Kayla just totally candid dancing on the small waves as they came in and tickled her feet. Justin collecting sand and water for his castle. Oh my, its like looking through these brings me back to the actual moment. Have you ever had an experience like that? I hope you have – I hope you have that when you see images I may have taken of your family!

Family #1 – I love this picture so much. I’m sure Mom remembers what it was like to get both kiddos in the same picture at this session and this image made it SO worth it. I with it were of my kiddos!

Family #2 – This little guy is all sorts of grown up since this image but I love it. I really love the way the colors work together and seriously what is not to love about those cheeks!
