Calvin 7 Year Portrait Session

Posted on Leave a Comment

Every year since Calvin was born I have photographed him for a portrait session around his birthday. This year marks 7 years! I highly recommend doing a yearly portrait session for each child as they grow up so quickly. School photos won’t capture them the same way a portrait session will. A yearly family session or sibling session is a great option too but a one-on-one portrait session really gets the most photos and unique moments. It is a fun experience too!

This year we went to the Burchfield Nature & Art Center. I love this location! So many fun spots to shoot. Funny enough we used the wall of the restroom building to have a neutral backdrop for up close portraits. And I don’t normally like shooting in the gazebo, gazebo photos sound like a good idea but it’s often a problematic place to photograph, but I love how sitting in the middle of the patterned floorboards turned out!

Brie and Josh’s Buffalo Botanical Gardens Engagement Session

Jennifer Link Photography Buffalo Botanical Gardens Engagement Session

Brie and Josh had a magical early spring engagement session at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens. The weather was still pretty cold for shooting comfortably outside and nothing was growing quite yet so a warm and cozy session at the botanical gardens was perfect. Even more romantic that their wedding will be there this fall. Brie and Josh traveled in from out of town and made a little getaway of their session with a nice hotel room and some sightseeing. They booked their wedding at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens without having ever seen it so there was true excitement in the air at their session as they explored the rooms for the first time! They booked an hour at the gardens for their session and we had the place to ourselves. We wondered through almost every room. I got to photograph my favorite spots and find some new ones! We ended the session with some cute photos showcasing their love of video games. And on the way out we grabbed some shots in front of the gardens, my fav being a show of excitement for their upcoming wedding at the location.

Andy and Daisy Proposal Session

Jennifer Link Photography Lulanis Tables Andy Daisy Buffalo NY Proposal Session Delaware Park

Spent part of my Mother’s Day this year capturing this proposal! So beautiful and amazing! When Andy reached out to contact me and told me his proposal plans I just couldn’t say no to photographing it. Lulani’s Tables set the scene with a stunning picnic set up on the edge of Hoyt Lake in Buffalo’s Delaware Park. There was a gorgeous table setting, pillows and blankets to get cozy with, lots of delicious food, champagne, and even a checkers game. I just had to get a good handful of details. Then Andy and Daisy arrived and Andy popped the question right away. There were so many smiles and kisses and so much laughter and joy after that. It was so clear how happy and in love they both were. We did some portraits and then I stayed for a few to capture as they dug in. Love this set, had to share a ton!

Nuemann Extended Family Session

Jennifer Link Photography Extended Family Session Buffalo NY

It was a pleasure to see an old friend from high school and photograph her lovely family! We did an extended family session at Glen Park under their octagon pavilion. The picked time and date were the only time and date the whole family could get together for photos, with members coming together from out of town. So despite the heavy rain, the session had to go on! Although not the original plan, it proved to be a nice location. Kids can be hard to photograph in a contained space with all their family looking on so we ventured out to the nearby nature playground to capture some shots we couldn’t get under the pavilion. We made it fun!
