Expecting Twins

Kristyn found my website and saw that I had done some pregnancy work. She contacted me and we kept in touch through email for about a month until we both found a day that worked for us to get her beautiful 33 week pregnang belly photographed. Kristyn is having twins, a girl and a boy. Her husband was skeptic at first about the idea of a pregnancy photoshoot, but as we went along he got more and more into it. We ended up having a great time. I went to their home for the shoot and we basically rearranged all the furniture there. It was fun. Their little poodle Bella was occupied with a chewy toy for most of the time and we had no trouble keeping her out of shots. For example in this favorite one of mine, she’s just below their knees :)

I did this photoshoot at no cost to Kristyn. That makes three kinds of work I’m donating my time for - my project Dance Visions, Pregnancy, and Birds. Anyway… Kristyn might be referring me to other expectant mothers who might want to have photoshoots, no matter how hesitant their husbands might be ;) Thank you Kristyn for being an awesome model!

Wedding on the Beach

It’s been a few weeks since I wrote. Boy it feels good to have internet again.

I shot a beautiful wedding yesterday on Ontario Beach in Rochester NY. Ashley and David were a great couple and we got some great shots between the ceremony and the reception. Their ceremony was held at the Roger Robach Community Center, but we did the formal pictures afterwards on the wooden pathway next to the beach. It was a perfectly cloudy day which made for perfect skin tones even though it blah’ed the background.  Ashley had this super long veil on, and Maggie her maid of honor helped me by holding it up and then running away really fast as I was taking the pictures. It was just beautiful!

We were a bit dissapointed that the 100-year old Dentzel Carousel was closed for the season. It would have made a perfect background for some awesome shots. Oh well. But we did go to the small gazebo at the beach entrance and got even more awesome pictures of Ashley and David. Overall this was my favorite outdoors formals of the year as far as weddings go. I hope the Bateman’s like their pictures!
