Caruana Family Portrait Session

Posted on Leave a Comment

We had to put this session off for a bit but finally got to photograph this happy family! “If you would have told me almost a year ago we would be where we are today, I would have told you, you were insane,” said the mom in this trio. “2020 brought a lot of changes and firsts for us but it just made this family of three stronger and I wouldn’t change it for the world.” We did photos of everyone together, just brother and sister together, and individuals of the kids. Love the ones of them laughing! Was a fun morning and Stiglmeier Park was the perfect location.

Schimenti Family Portrait Session

It has been a pleasure photographing the Schimenti family over the years. We gathered at Como Lake Park for their family holiday session this year. Found some new spots to shoot at this time and it’s making me excited to go back to this park and use these great spots again. My favorites from this session are they ones where they are just walking or having fun!

mom life : Family Holiday Session

Posted on Leave a Comment

Last year upon finding out I was pregnant, I decided we’d do a family photo session every holiday season. It’s the perfect time of year for it, as you already are in need of photos for holiday cards. Plus it helps make sure you have nice photos taken as a family at least once a year.

This year I decided I’d do the photos in our living room. It was cold out by the time I was ready to do the portraits and something cozy and warm was in order to keep Odette from freezing outside in her holiday dress. Next year I think I’ll plan our outfits to be outdoor appropriate. With a tripod and lots of help from my husband, we captured some photos of Odette and our family!

Riley and Tanner sibling portraits in Buffalo's Delaware Park

Brothers Riley and Tanner spend a lot of time together so it made perfect sense that they needed some sibling portraits! Plus mom wanted some photos of her boys for the annual holiday card. We shot these in Buffalo’s iconic Delaware Park and moved between a few spots in the park to get a good range of photos. The boys were very excited so there was a bit of encouraging and wrangling to get them to stay put for more than a second. Yet after a handful of photos in the beginning and some one on one attention they got the hang of it and we got some fun and wonderful shots!
