It was time for my daughter Odette’s 1 Year Portrait Session and we did both a simple session in my studio along with a Cake Smash Session. I wanted photos that would just show her and her latest still standing and walking! You get a wonderful set of photos showing off the first year milestones when you do a session every 3 months; newborn, 3 months showing holding up their head, 6 months showing sitting up, 9 months showing standing holding on, and 1 year showing standing alone!
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!
It was a cold one but we made things feel cozy and happy at Glen Park for Denise and Chris’s Engagement Session. We did their session as fast as possible because they could only stand to be outside in not so outside outfits for so long. Joking and having fun the whole time we moved from spot to spot throughout the park to get a variety of shots. We were going to be done but Denise agreed to throw on her coat and do a few close up portraits right at the end which really turned out to me some very sweet images of them.
Our little girl is 1 years old! We had a lovely party with family and friends at Island Park in Williamsville. They have a cute good size pavilion and you pretty much have the whole park, a little island before Glen Falls, to yourself. Going along with her name we decided on a swan theme. I went with pale pink, white, and gold for the colors as they are the colors of her room and colors I always dress her in but added in teal for some fun and to pair with the blue and green colors of the pavilion.
It was such a treat doing sweet little Morgan’s Newborn Session. She slept through the whole thing! Only opening her eyes for a brief moment to allow me to get a shot of her looking at the camera. What a great little subject. We used a combination of her clothes, accessories, and blankets and accessories and props I had at my studio. Her fuzzy pink blanket was so cozy and made for the perfect backdrop! The brand new parents got in at the end for some of their first family photos. Welcome Morgan!
