Pizza night…

Thursday, September 2, 2010 8:00 am Posted in personal

At the ripe old age of 2, our little Birdy is a pizza fanatic. She is such a skinny little thing that we can’t resist feeding her something that we know she will fill up on. Thus pizza night was born! One day a week, Jason pulls out the bread machine and whips up a batch of whole wheat pizza dough. Meanwhile, I dig around in the fridge and come up with a plate of not-so-yucky pizza toppings. Bean’s favorite is ham and cheese and, being the awesome big brother that he is, he always likes to add a few olives that he can pick off and give to Birdy during dinner. Why? Who knows! I guess he just does it because she loves them so much. Birdy’s favorites are, you guessed it, olives! Although she will also load up on onions and ham and mushrooms if we have them. On our last pizza night we took a few photos of our two little chefs at work and I just couldn’t help but share. So…

Welcome to Birdy & Bean’s Pizzeria! Enjoy!

Emily & Jason’s wedding…

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 9:02 pm Posted in wedding

Whew! It was another busy shooting week for us, but I really can’t think of a better way to have ended it than with Emily and Jason’s Lake Placid wedding on Saturday. This is truly an amazing couple. They were both relaxed, fun and full of great ideas. Oh, and did I mention gorgeous? Emily looked like she walked straight off the page of a magazine, and Jason, no matter how awkward he feels in front of the camera, is quite easy on the eyes. Funny fact – I am usually pretty good with names, but for some reason that is beyond me, I kept forgetting Jason’s name. My Jason (my husband and shooting partner) thought that I was seriously loosing it! I really wouldn’t doubt it. So, now you all know my deep dark secret from Emily and Jason’s wedding day. That and the fact that I couldn’t stop drooling over Emily’s flowers. In our 10 years of shooting I have never swooned over a bouquet… that was, until Saturday. I really need to find out what the ones with the black centers are called. If anyone knows, please leave it in the comments! Oh, and while you’re there, leave a comment for the lovely bride and groom, as well. Or one for us – I like comments too ya know;)

So here it is… Emily & Jason’s wedding. Complete with awesome flowers, fun props and unbelievably gorgeous couple!

Congrats to you, Emily and Jason!

Emily - WOW!!!!! We LOVE the photos!!! The white flower with the black center is an anenome and the paper looking ones are ranunculus. You guys could not have done a better job, we are SOOOOOO happy!!!

Kristin - Vanessa,I think the flower is a black and white anemone. I only know this, because I saw it on Cake Boss. Hope it’s correct!

Gabrielle & Joseph’s wedding…

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 7:01 pm Posted in wedding

Jason and I photographed Gabrielle and Joe’s girls, Cozette and Adalynn, last October, their e-session in June, the girls once more in August, and now, this past Friday, we had the honor of photographing them on their wedding day. Needless to say, we got to know this wonderful family very well. It was such a nice feeling to be greeted with a hug by a smiling Cozette when we arrived on Friday afternoon. On top of being so comfortable with each other, the day was a snap. Gorgeous couple + amazing venue = easy work day! The ceremony and reception both took place at the very charming and historic Queensbury Hotel where Gabrielle’s sister Chantel works as a wedding planner! How perfect is that?! Imagine how easy life would be if ever bride’s sister was a wedding planner! Ha ha!

Congratulations Gabrielle & Joe! Best wishes for a happy future together and good luck on the move!

The Wray family…

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 11:33 am Posted in baby, children, couples, family, portrait

Every once in a while we get a call or an email from out of state asking if we can do a session (or a wedding in a few cases) for families vacationing in the Adirondacks. The Wrays are one such family. I love getting these requests for 2 reasons – out-of-towners are usually almost more appreciative of the beautiful scenery that our area has to offer, and the second is because we are sometimes asked to do destination work and we almost always decline because of our two gorgeous children. In cases like this, though, I can definitely smile and say that we are, in fact, destination photographers! Ha ha!

I hope that the wonderful Wray family enjoyed every moment of their time in the beautiful Adirondack region!

Enjoy!

Madelyn & Makenna…

Monday, August 30, 2010 6:19 pm Posted in children, family, portrait

This was not our first time photographing these precious girlies, you may even remember them from last spring, or their auntie’s wedding, or maybe even from last autumn, but this set of photos felt extra special. We did this session at Madelyn and Makenna’s grandmother’s gardens – the very same gardens where we photographed their mommy and daddy’s wedding six years ago. From Jessica & Tom’s wedding to this shoot exactly 6 years and 3 days had passed! It makes you realize how much can happen so quickly! One day we are the focus of attention, standing there all dolled up and uttering “I do”, the next day we are picking out tiny outfits and watching with delight as tiny hands hold onto teacups, flowers, and Makenna’s case, squirming green frogs. Where does this thing called time go? And how does it all happen so quickly?

To top off my sentimental mood – 1: the girls look so much older than they did last summer when we photographed them, and 2: Jason snapped a few photos of Jess and Tom watching the girls play and, it wasn’t till editing, that I realized that there was a perfect reflection on the water. Our favorite photo from Tom & Jess’ wedding day was one with a perfect reflection on the water! Where there were once two, there are now four! Ahhh, how I love how that works. Now, I know you two only wanted photos of the girls, but I need to share just one! Please forgive me! Your family is just too lovely not to share!

I don’t even need to introduce these photos by suggesting how adorable these girls are. It’s way beyond obvious that they are way beyond beautiful.

Enjoy!
