I did two holiday mini days this year at the Ivy Arch Bridge in Delaware Park and it was fun seeing how different the sessions looked between color schemes and lighting. Love the rich colors of this session with the adorable and stylish Guarino family. We did family photos in a couple locations and a few different groupings (mom and sons, dad and sons, boys alone) plus just had some fun running around and playing with leaves and twigs.
Had a great time hanging out with families all day at the Ivy Arch Bridge in Delaware Park this year for holiday minis! The Petty family were an adorable bunch. A little of encouragement and warm up were needed for the littlest member, Simon, but not much! Mom of the family Becky gushes, “He’s got the best freakin’ smile in the world.”
This was my first year offering holiday mini sessions and with all that’s been going on this year, I debated offering them. I dream of doing festive stylized minis but this didn’t seem the right year for it. I decided the Ivy Arch Bridge at Delaware Park would offer a magical setting without the concerns of sharing props and close spaces.
The McDonald family have been, “working full time, trying to support remote/hybrid school learning,” as mom of the family Sheryl explains, “we try to make the most of each moment.” We had a lot fun being out side and playing around the bridge and pine trees. The toddler of the family, River, took a bit of warming up to the idea of a portrait session but after some tickles and goofing around she was all smiles.
For Ryan’s senior portraits we went between Amherst State Park and Glen Park for a variety of locations. It was fun capturing some serious shots as well as some smiling ones and of course some classic yearbook ones. Williamsville South High School 2021!
Jordan wanted more casual and relaxed senior portraits as well as some that showcased her tap dance skills and of course some with her varsity jacket. We went down to the Cobblestone District on a beautiful day and got a variety of locations. Some rustic and decayed on the cobblestone street, some modern and industrial in the parking garage, and some naturey and fall under the tree. Lockport High School 2021!
