what’s in store l buffalo ny photographer

March 8th, 2011

I have some fun things in store for the blog, first up starting tomorrow. . .Way Back Wednesday. I will be posting two pictures from sessions in 2010. If you see your child’s picture, then comment on the blog within 24 hours (this is a must!) so that I know you saw it. You will get your choice of a digital file of the image OR an 8×10 at your next session. This will be a new feature every Wednesday!

I’ll also be sharing more things on the blog about my family, all picture related. Really its a way to make me more diligent about photographing everyday life around this crazy place! But hopefully by my sharing everyday images it will inspire you guys too.

Plus. . .design things, outfit ideas for your sessions and more. Can’t wait!

Mini Sessions Benefiting Ronald McDonald House l Buffalo NY Child Photographer

December 28th, 2010

This year I saw a friend of mine be blessed when her family stayed at a Ronald McDonald House in California. Her daughter had received a heart transplant and staying there allowed her entire family to be together during Princess G’s (as we like to call her!) recovery. You can read more about Gabriella and her story on Kristi’s blog here, http://listeningthruthenoise.blogspot.com/. Note: Grab a tissue or two first because Kristi is pretty good at tugging on our heart strings! Also, when I was little (like reallllly little) I had a cousin that was born with major heart deformities and my family was able to stay at a RMDH while she received surgery. So, needless to say I have seen how truly amazing this organization is and I want to give back to it. And I want you to give to them too.

fun news l buffalo ny child baby portraits

August 18th, 2010

Just a fun little bit of news to share this morning. I entered a couple of my favorite images into the photography contest at the Erie County Fair this year. My portrait entry received “best of” and was in consideration for the tri-color ribbon – yay! My pictorial entry received an honorable mention. It made trekking down to the fair 8.5 months pregnant with 4 kids and a husband in tow totally worth it.

Early November sessions are currently booking and October is extremely limited with just one weekend session left – please book now!

Here are a couple of iphone pictures from last night at the fair. . . .

“Best Of” – Portrait

Honorable Mention – Pictorial
