Baby Gavin | Buffalo Newborn Photography

Brace yourself for cuteness overload... Baby Gavin has arrived! So excited to share images of this little babe, son to past wedding clients Matt & Melissa (remember their lovely maternity session?) Isn't he the sweetest? Melissa is a wonderful photographer herself, who started working with me after her own wedding, and was the maid of honor in our bride/her sister Chelsea's wedding. So she's been in front of my camera many times & I was honored to be asked to come capture these special shots of the next generation ;) We brought the studio over to her house (which, after having my own baby this year, I realize is SO nice for new mamas!) Melissa had great props ready for us (especially the holidays set-up, so cute I can't stand it!) and we had a perfectly happy babe for our session. Thanks for being such a great subject, Baby G!!

Melissa & Matt | Buffalo Portrait Photography | Times Beach Maternity Session

Remember this duo? I've been lucky enough to capture them quite a few times, from their engagement session, to their wedding, to family photos for the holidays to other weddings & more! I was so excited to shoot their maternity session, and celebrate their growing family :) Some of you may even recognize Melissa from your very own wedding or portrait session, as she started working with me shortly after her own wedding, when she realized how much she loved photography! 

I love everything about this warm, fall family session, showcasing a very cool spot in Buffalo for photos, hanging with their fun pup, Cooper, and getting to spend some time with Melissa & Matt again before they begin the adventure of a lifetime!! Next, we'll be posting some great shots of Baby R!!

Announcing... Baby Richard! | Buffalo Family Photography | Beaver Island, Grand Island

I love so many things about my job, but I think the absolute best part is getting to see my couples grow into families and being invited to capture all those moments along the way. I still remember meeting with Nicole & Lee to talk about their wedding years ago, and how much fun we had on their Allentown e-session, and big beautiful wedding, and crazy fun rock-the-dress session at Woodlawn Beach! So, needless to say, I was thrilled when they asked if I would shoot a secret project for them ;) They used these photos to announce a wonderful surprise to their families & friends, and I loved getting to be a part of it!! Can't wait to meet Baby Richard & see you both again!

Baby Micah! | Buffalo Family Photographer

As much as I love shooting weddings, headshots, engagement sessions, etc I really LOVE when I get to spend time hanging out with cute little babes like this guy! Micah came in for his portraits with his lovely mama & we had so much fun capturing his cute smiles. He was so happy, so easy, and so wonderful! And check out those baby blues! I hope to see him again someday!

Amber & Patrick | Buffalo Maternity Photography | Woodlawn Beach | 07.30.14

I got to spend an evening on the beach with Amber & Patrick, talking about babies, and watching the sunset for their maternity session. I hadn't seen this since their wedding last August & was so excited to see Amber's adorable new baby bump & catch up :) These two are so cute, and funny, and I loved getting to hang out a bit & capture this time in their lives. I am so lucky to get to see my clients go from couples to families - hands down one of my favorite parts of my job! Now, I just can't wait to meet the babe!! A&P : Thanks for venturing into the chilly water, chasing seagulls and walking on the rocky dirt barefoot, all for the sake of the photos - you guys rock!
