I am so honored and grateful that Lauren, their oldest asked me to come back to photograph her wedding. I pray I did their sweet day justice. Her and Matt are a precious couple!! They come to life when they are in each other's presence and have a tender hearted chemistry that I don't feel with every couple I photograph!

What a pleasure it has been watching this young lady grow up. She has been like a daughter to me as she has been my boy's little care taker and great friend since she was three when my oldest Liam was born. She was always by my side, wanting to carry them around and play with them.

Yes, I just made up a word, but that was the best word I could come up with for this sweet, young lady. Winsome: pleasing and engaging generally because of a childlike charm. That was what I experienced with Maddy in the almost two hours we spent together taking her senior photos.

We had never met before I had stepped foot in her beautiful home with all of my camera equipment that day! I LOVE meeting new people! One of the biggest obstacles a photographer has when taking someone's portrait is establishing a level of comfort that can be seen in the photos.

In about 35 minutes, I captured all these goodies! Ashley absolutely makes my job easier. She loves to get her portrait taken, which is why we spent more time than necessary. Still, lighting, lens, framing, and angle choice make all the difference from making her look as stunningly adorable as she is in these.

Theresa recently re-decorated some of the rooms in their wellness center and the exterior was still getting painted when I was in town, so I couldn't get a full photo of it. In addtion to rooms for massage and facials, there's a store in the wellness center full of local artists. There is a room to meet with a practitioner and purchase wellness products. Theresa truly cares about the overall wellness of people!

I was asked to get some very fast head shots of this handsome lad to go in a brochure for the next musical, Beetlejuice that he was performing in...as Beetlejuice...just a small roll, you know. ;)

I hid in plain sight by keeping myself covered up in a hoody and sunglasses with my back to her, photographing my niece, who was facing them as they were walking up to the spot that Zach and I pre-planned. ... I simply turned in their direction and started photographing this precious moment in their lives...I was especially amused when Teresa realized, after Zach finished proposing, that the photographer was me...

When she heard that I was in town, she reached out to me to try to squeeze in a few photos of her new salon tucked in the beautiful Delavan Hotel...Though the purchase of this salon was recent and she was still in the middle of putting her own spin on it, much had already been done and was worth photographing! I love it already!

I was SO impressed as I walked around and met many of their friendly, hard working, and helpful employees. I was also deeply proud of them for getting their hands dirty, building these products from scratch, and working together like a well oiled machine. It was truly an amazing sight to see.

GAHHHH!! My niece is sixteen now!! While she was visiting and staying with us, she wanted her Sweet 16 photos taken. She was adorable with all of her props and clothing ideas.

I was so grateful to be hired to do another job in Florida. Doing photography work in Western New York is far easier because I had spent sixteen years photographing.

I've wanted to get my camera on this fam for years. I could see the couples chemistry and photogenicability (Yes, I just made that word up.)

I admit, I am being a tad biased when I called this family adorable. After all, it is my big brother, Tim's family. ;)

There was so much joy at this baby shower. They have a tremendous support system. Everyone that came was so happy and excited for them!

Doing these photos was so special to me. Add that I was able to take these when the beautiful Fall leaves were turning in Western New York.

God used this job opportunity to kick start my journey as a professional photographer in Orlando, Florida. I am so grateful to Carine for listening to the Holy Spirit when He placed me on her mind to reach out to. On top of it, I have such gratitude for JR for feeling led to bless me beyond what we even agreed upon to show me that this was exactly what I was still supposed to be doing. I was to not just use this gift in Western NY, but that it was time to introduce myself to

This delightful gal is gifted. It was such a pleasure coming to Ashley's inviting salon in Winter Park and photographing her in her element!

How wonderful it was to see a small town company, that is operating and manufacturing all their parts in house, still thriving in America.

We literally spent one minute and fourteen seconds taking these photos. In the world of corporate, a photographer needs to be quick.
