Ashleigh and Jamison got engaged at Hoyt Lake in Delaware Park so it was their top pick for a location for their engagement session. It was also a given that their dogs would be included in the session! They were very excited to be included and even had bandanas and leashes that matched their owner’s outfits. Too cute! Ashleigh and Jamison were smart too, they invited a friend to their session to take the dogs after their time in the spotlight was over. After the doggie portraits we went over by the willow trees for some cozy shots while the sun began to set.

Andy and Daisy Proposal Session
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!
Dossett Family Holiday Mini Session
I have been photographing the Dossett family for many years and have seen their son Calvin grow over the years! This year we meet at the Ivy Arch Bridge in Delaware Park for a holiday mini session. Even though I know Calvin and have photographed him since his hospital stay when he was born, it takes some time to get him to warm up to having his photograph taken. But we always have fun and we always get there! This year the family was bigger with a new puppy!
Guarino Family Holiday Mini Session
I did two holiday mini days this year at the Ivy Arch Bridge in Delaware Park and it was fun seeing how different the sessions looked between color schemes and lighting. Love the rich colors of this session with the adorable and stylish Guarino family. We did family photos in a couple locations and a few different groupings (mom and sons, dad and sons, boys alone) plus just had some fun running around and playing with leaves and twigs.
Petty Family Holiday Mini Session
Had a great time hanging out with families all day at the Ivy Arch Bridge in Delaware Park this year for holiday minis! The Petty family were an adorable bunch. A little of encouragement and warm up were needed for the littlest member, Simon, but not much! Mom of the family Becky gushes, “He’s got the best freakin’ smile in the world.”
