This family lives in what I call the ideal neighborhood with the ideal backyard! It's a terraced yard, they've got a pool and even room for a softball field. Beautiful!
It was really fun getting to know each of the three kiddos. Ultimately, they are looking for a large "oil painting" canvas gallery wrap to hang on their wall.

You know those coffee table albums that are about $1000 a pop? Well, I've come up with a more cost effective way to incorporate many pictures of your wedding day (50 to be exact) and for half the price of an album!
So, for $500 you can now order a 30"X30" gallery wrap to hang on your wall that features your top 50 photos!

Although the picture may look small on your screen, in actuality this canvas gallery wrap is very large. The center square alone, is 14"X14" and each smaller square is 3"X3" (the size of a standard post it note).
Also note that the bride and grooms names are wrapped around the side of the gallery wrap and so are visible from the side, below or above.
 I'm anxious for the actually gallery wrap to get here, though it's probably another week till it arrives. I will definitely be taking pictures of it hanging in my office.

Chris and Jen were a pleasure to work with. Really, I couldn't think of anyone more relaxed yet fun than this couple! Chris told me a few times that the two most important things on the wedding day was beer and fun; I think his wishes came true. Everyone had a great time and there was plenty of drinking.


We first met at the Fushion Salon in Saratoga Springs where Jen, her bridesmaids and mother all had their hair and makeup done. Melanie Ghobrial was the great makeup artist who applied on Mom and Jen. She doesn't work full-time, but she told me she always comes in for weddings because she loves them.

Jen and her hair stylist could have been longtime friends by the way they talked with each other and were excited for the wedding that evening.
All the bridesmaids were anxious to be in on the dress donning and to help with the many buttons.





The West Mountain Inn is in Arlington, Vermont. They had the great idea to rent the entire Inn for the weekend for friends and family to stay at. Actually, about 2/3 of all the wedding guests stayed there for the weekend!



They had a live band at the reception, Andy Avery Entertainment, who were actually REALLY good! They sang many love songs in several eras and genres from oldies to country.

It's been such a pleasure getting to know Kelly and Jack. He is the classy gentleman type who tenderly cares for his sweetheart and she equally loves and adores him. They were wed at the Van Dyck Lounge; a beautiful, newly renovated restaurant and bar in Schenectady, NY.









 










I wish the best to Kelly and Jack, I'm sure they will be happy with each other for many years to come! Thank you for allowing me to witness the happiness couples can share.

The Rees' are an adorable family I attend church with and she is also my hair dresser. We had a fun day at the park and enjoyed the anticipation of whether or not it was going to rain on us or be sunny. Within the hour and a half we were there it went both ways; threatened rain, sprinkled for 5 minutes, and was sunny.
The Rees' loved this shot at overlooking the lake just as much as I did and actually ordered a large canvas gallery wrap of it.

I recently had the opportunity to take engagement photos of Chris and Jen. They really looked so good together and I thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures of them. They literally live less than 2 miles from Saratoga Spa State Park so it's where we met for the session. We met at around 7:00 in the morning so the sun had already been up at least an hour and a half, but because the trees were so thick, I was hardly aware of the cloudless sky.

So, this is my first Graduation shoot, but it turned out well. I was amazed at how different it was compared to an infant or family shoot. Unlike toddlers, I didn't have to chase her down the street or entice her with treats after the shoot. She looked good because she's just that good. I swear, she could probably hold a pose (smile and all) for 10 minutes if I asked her too. As we took pictures she told me stories of being at photography studios for hours and hours while her and her siblings waited for each other to get there pictures so they could have a turn to be in the spotlight. Thanks Kait, for the fun session!
