Friends



I got to photograph my friend Toni's kids yesterday FINALLY!! They are just the best kids, ever since Gabi was a baby, they have always taken care of her they were her first "friends"!!!! Gabi looks up to them, they are like her big brothers and sister.

For those of you that don't know, I LOVE to garden, {thanks mom} This year my rhododendron is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No thanks to me though, it just did it on its own because I'm really not sure what to do with them!! hahahah

Giving you Forever in pictures......





Not only are these little cuties family, one of them is one of my hero's. Nicholas has suffered and survived Cystic Fibrosis. He is an amazing young man!!! Through his battles, he has been an inspiration to all who have met him. As a baby he kept us laughing, even when we thought it was almost time for us to say goodbye, by the grace of God and miracles, he received a lung transplant!!!

He has fought battles, some of us could never dream of fighting. He has excelled in school, even when he missed months of it. He has never let this disease get him down.

His dream is to be a chef!!! I know he will achieve this goal, just like all the others.

These pictures mean a great deal to me. They are forever, for all of us.

Blue Eyes!!!!!!!




One of my nieces, isn't she just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No place like home




I was lucky to spend mothers day at my moms, Kenny was working so the girls and I went out for a few days. I was able to get some pictures of them playing in the yard, How neat to see them play under the lilacs, just like I did when I was little.
Now my little girls get to enjoy my "Home" and all the love it brings.

Happy First Birthday





I had the pleasure of doing this little angels first birtday pictures!! She was so much fun!! She just kept on smiling!!! Couldnt get much easier than that!!! The pictures are a surprise for her parents, I wish I could be at the party to see thier faces!!!

Intimidating session!! Ha hahaha



My best friend from college came to visit with her 2 children. We have known each other for 12 years, through many ups and downs, her moving to California then
Vermont, me Rochester, now Utica. I was in her wedding, she couldn't make mine, I guess living across the country is a good excuse. She is also a photographer and my inspiration. She is one of the reasons I followed my dream and started my own business.

I am proud to say, Kenny and I were her "first" couple session. She has photographed my girls since They were babies!!!

Well I had the chance to photograph her kids, and boy was that stressful!! Doing another photographers children is very intimidating!! The pictures came out great! She took my girls and I cant wait to see them!!

Ten fingers and ten toes!!



I have been taking this little boys pictures since he was 2 weeks old!! He is now 6 months and I have done his pictures 3 times. I feel so blessed to watch him and his sisters grow!!! I just loved all his creases!!! I had to capture them!!!

Welcome new baby Girl....



My friend Erika finally had her baby!! She is so precious, so pretty!! I was able to get a few shots of her only 5 days old!! We will do a full session soon!!

Happy March!!


They have been sick, it has been raining, then snowing, then raining, I don't think the sun has shine in months! Looking at these faces, that is my sunshine! They are finally well, and I just needed to get some "photo time with them" so here are my Spring pictures of my children!

My First Wedding!


yup, I did one, even though I always said I wouldn't. It was a wonderful experience and I did it for one of my best friends as a gift for her brother in law.
They were not planning on having a photographer, I couldn't let such a special day go with out pictures!! That's a sin in my book.

Thank you John and Jackie, I hope you will Cherish these pictures forever.

Cheese mama!!



I Can't beleive she will be 2 in a few weeks! She is getting so big, new things are coming out of that mouth each day that make us laugh. She is still Gabi's little shadow, I know someday that may change, but its fun to watch.
