Each and every time I take photos with my Lensbaby, I fall more in love with it. There is a magical, ethereal quality that it gives to images that I just find so lovely. Here is my littlest holding some flowers…swoon.

February 10, 2012My muse | WNY portrait photographer
January 10, 2012It goes without saying that I LOVE my children, that I ADORE them, that I cannot get enough of them (well, sometimes I can), but when it comes to this guy, he is my go-to muse for practicing out a photography-related idea. He might complain a little bit, but I know that deep down he loves that I ask to take his photo. He knows that I rely on him because he will sit still and be goofy and wear props and give life to my ideas. And for that reason, I sat him down today before the last light of the day vanished and I just grabbed a few shots. I {heart} him so much.
52 on Friday {family} | Williamsville, NY family photographer
December 30, 2011Of course, Christmas is all about spending time with family and cherishing moments together so our theme for this last week in December is family. I decided to take a lighthearted approach to this theme and share some outtakes of our Christmas card shoot back in November. I think the outtakes tell the story so much better. I have decided that next year, I am going to have a filmstrip of outtakes posted on the back of my card.

Obsessed | WNY portrait photographer
October 11, 2011I seem to be obsessed, as of late, with fake glasses. I have seen them all over fashion ads lately and apparently I’m jumping on the bandwagon. They’re fun!
My nerdy Batman | Williamsville, NY child photographer
September 25, 2011This was an impromptu photo shoot the other day. My little guy was wearing his favorite shirt and when I handed him these silly glasses, I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos.
Sigh….I just love this boy.

August 23, 2011I was going through some old photos for a little home project I’m working on and I was delighted to find so many photos that are even more special to me now that the subject is older and on to a new phase. This one I fell in love with because of that sweet giggle (and crazy hair) on daddy’s shoulder.
For our weekly photography challenge, we were to photograph something using a shallow depth of field. I found this explanation online and couldn’t think of a better way to describe it, so I am quoting here:
‘Depth of Field or DOF for short is a description of how much of your photograph is in focus. A shallow depth of field simply means that one specific area of your photo is tack sharp while other elements remain blurred.’
I decided to take my boys out for a mini photoshoot…shooting wide open. I did have all three of the boys with me, but the youngest was a bit distracted by the playground that was close to the field we were shooting at. Hence, I photographed two out of the three. My oldest will be turning 9 in just a few weeks and when I looked at these images, I couldn’t help but notice how much he is growing up. Our last year of single digits!
