new products!

I want to share with you a look at the newest product I'm now offering. They're mini accordion style albums and come in 3 different sizes: 3x3 square (shown here), wallet horizontal and wallet vertical.

This particular one I used pictures from my most recent wedding which you may recognize from the teaser post I have up from about a week ago :)

The cover of this book both front and back is metallic and the paper inside is pearl. I cannot explain just how beautiful it turned out, pictures do not do it justice, but walk through my picture tour and get a good idea of what they look like!

















So what do you think? These would make such awesome presents for parents and grandparents! I will be offering these along with my other products and the pricing will be announced soon. Let me know how you like them :)

My Wedding Day!

I can hardly believe that it's been three weeks since my wedding day. It seems like just yesterday but at the same time like forever ago...

I am one very blessed lady, everything about my wedding was absolutely perfect. I was so happy that day I'm not sure anything could have made me upset :D I also am so so so glad that I chose a good photographer... definitely #1 on my list of important things for a wedding.

Here are only some of the images Rachel took that day.



Melissa and Beka steaming my veil just before Crystal finished my hair and pinned it in



When I saw my flowers come in I was beside myself. They were so breathtakingly beautiful I wish that I could have kept them forever! Which is why I am glad I have good pictures of them!







The first time I saw this picture of Steve I shrieked right out loud and smiled the biggest smile :D









*LOVE* the shoes :)





My absolute favorite group shot of the day!



















Together, Mary (my florist) and Jen (my cake baker) worked on this until it was totally perfect. I cannot explain in words how happy I was with it! It's too bad we had to eat it but man was it gooooood!



We ended up making a kind of spontaneous exit when some of Steve's groomsmen decorated his Best Man's car for us. We climbed in and then I threw my bouquet out the moon roof





















The bridal party pictures were taken around the Elim Bible Institute campus but when we were finished with those, we headed to Mendon Ponds for some more of just the two of us. We spent the night at the Woodcliff Hotel and then early Sunday morning had to get to the airport and were off to Miami for our cruise! Those pictures will be next... :)

Aaliya (Rochester NY children's photographer)

Gorgeous baby girl! This is Aaliya and these are her 7 month pictures. Since then I've taken her 10 month pictures as well and very soon I'll be doing her 1 year pics with her big sister :)









I thought that the last one with the flower was going to be my favorite as I reviewed shots during the shoot, but the one above here turned out to be the one. So genuine and sweet, I love it!

Getting ready for baby... (Rochester NY maternity/family photographer)

Do not be fooled by the snow in these pictures... it is in fact not snowing in NY in June... these pictures are from January! I'm a little behind but getting back into full swing now with wedding season upon us :) my favorite!

This particular shoot was one that I just tagged along for... My two photographer friends Amanda Lee and Michal-Kathryn Morgan invited me for lunch and an afternoon shoot for Amanda's friend Jessyka. It was a lot of fun, though if I had been Jessyka I may have felt like the paparazzi had invaded my house ;) 3 photographers all over every angle, it was a lot of fun!

Taylor and Rebecca

A perfect June day for this June bride - and groom too ;) Here's a taste of what's to come!



This shot was taken by my 2nd shooter and wonderful friend Andrea. This couple knew what they were doing when they hired us together!
