This year I had the pleasure of shooting a maternity set for Jennifer and Richard. We did many photos of just Jennifer to capture the time before her first baby was born, but this maternity session was also a great opportunity to do some couple portraits. The month before a new baby is born is an exciting time and I think these portraits really capture how happy Jennifer and Richard are and how much having a baby reinforces the love a couple feels for each other.
Getting married means I’ll have to spend some time on the other side of the camera! Obviously being a photographer, good wedding photographs are pretty important to me. For our photographer we went with Sarah Wintle. I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah on Auxiliary Magazine shoots; she has modeled for me for a few different features over the years. Not only is she a wonderful model, she’s a wonderful photographer, with a true talent for journalistic, documentary style wedding photography.
A couple weeks ago we met up with her at Chestnut Ridge Park for an engagement photo session. An engagement session is a great way to get comfortable with your wedding photographer and now I feel very confident that working together in reverse roles for our wedding will be a lot of fun. Here are some of the highlights from our shoot!
Wedding planning is in full swing! I have been a busy lady. We jumped right into everything and started by looking for the perfect venue. We knew we wanted something with character and beauty so it would stand on its own and wouldn’t need tons of decorations. That helped us narrow our list down to six venues. Some were managed by the same companies so that meant just four venue visits.
I’m engaged and I’m getting married! A few weeks ago my boyfriend, co-homeowner, and Auxiliary Magazine co-editor asked me to marry him during a cozy evening in on a cold winter night. It was sweet and simple and after ten plus years together, we are very excited to really be planning the wedding we have been playfully talking about for so long.
Always a good change of pace shooting men’s fashion. For this Style feature in the June/July 2014 Issue of Auxiliary Magazine Jay Fritzius of the Buffalo based band As Summer Dies modeled an updated version of the classic punk look.
