the. best. wedding. | buffalo ny wedding photographer

July 25th, 2012

I can not even begin to say how much I enjoyed doing this wedding. When a day consists of: my awesome friend assisting me Ruthi David (R David Original Photography), two amazing grooms, the most awesome wedding party, breaking into abandoned buildings for the most perfect pictures ever, and a flash mob as a little gift from one groom to the other. . .seriously how could anyone go wrong. If time machine’s existed (and I am fairly certain they do but someone is just holding out on all of us) I would go back and do this wedding again, and again. . .and again (but without the foot pain at the end of the day).

In all seriousness guys – best wishes to both of you and the start of your amazing new life together. You are both amazing. xo

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!

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.
