Melerski Renewal

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the Melerski's 45th wedding anniversary and vow renewal ceremony in Buffalo, New York. The event took place at their home, the weather and setting was perfect for the event. I met many great people, and even one that thought I looked like a young Katie Couric-haven't gotten that one before. 

This was such a great experience for me, and was truly honored to have been their selected photographer. 

This jazz band perfectly set the mood for the evening.

Everyone had name tags!

Oh the kids! Mark is much taller than Jenn, and they made taking photos very fun :)

45th anniversary couple with their kids and spouses.

I love seeing my photography used and blown up :)

Dentist ad? Or GREAT looking family?

Every time I took pictures of this couple Diane loved to look at Mike. I mentioned it, and then I got several shots of them laughing :) I love seeing so much love after so many years!

There are 5 generations of family in this picture. Glad they grabbed me to capture it.

Diane got a new "engagement ring" but inside the tiffany's box was a VERY large, fake, diamond ring. Diane's face was priceless when she looked at this fake ring. She then read the note that said she can pick out her own real one at the store :)

The wonderful couple that hired me. Thanks Chris and Kelly!

This was a remake of a photo they took on their original wedding day 45 years ago :)

Baby Grayson

Oh baby! This sweet little boy had me smiling the whole shoot! I drove to Charlotte for the day to photograph Grayson in his home.  I got there and he was chillin' in his swing smiling away while mom and dad got ready. I had a great time with this shoot, and can't wait to photograph him as he grows :)

I love it! Mom made a cast of her belly before Grayson was born! It fit perfectly in it still at 2 weeks old and was so happy to be there :)

Baby Laila

I had the pleasure of photographing Baby Laila as a newborn, and while she was still in mommy's belly! This sweet little girl loves to be held by mommy or daddy and stare into their eyes :) We got so many great shots of true parenthood love! I can't wait to watch this little girl grow :)

Kirchner Wedding

I successfully pulled off "bridesmaid/photographer" for this wedding!
This lovely bride is my honorary sister from another mother. We grew up together and had the honor to have her in my wedding as well. Thankfully I had another photographer help me out while I played bridemaid when I had to :) Thanks Laura!
I loved being an extra special part of their day and see them through every step of the way, getting reading, before pictures, ceremony, and romantic photos after the "I dos"
Congratulations Chris and Rachel!

Look at the worm he found!

Parents of the bride, married more than 40 years!

Ackley Family

I had the pleasure of meeting the Ackley family for their family photoshoot. The boys were sooo cute and true boys with imagination :) We had a great time in the backyard garden, creek and play set, such a perfect backdrop to an afternoon with the family :)

I told him to give daddy bunny ears, and he thought he had to put his ears on daddy's head! :)
