We have been excited to hear word of baby Kage’s arrival and couldn’t wait to meet him yesterday for his newborn shoot. He is just so darn cute, and we could tell right away that the whole family was quite smitten with him, especially his big sister. He showed off his full range of emotions from alert to cranky to sleepy for the camera. When it was time to go, it was hard to pull away from watching him snooze.

It’s always fun hanging out with the Bergerons, and a photo shoot is no exception! We had a great time meeting up with them at their lovely home and then exploring the rail trail in Bethlehem. We were able to capture some beautiful portraits including a few that channeled their inner goofballs. Thanks Bergerons for being so wonderful to work with and thanks Mother Nature for holding onto some of those beautiful leaves into November so we could capture some of that beautiful fall foliage!

Perhaps even more special than getting to share a couple’s wedding day, is when you get to do a shoot when their family of two turns to a family of three. Tori and John are also special because they were the first wedding Heather shot as an assistant photographer thus sparking this career. Now five years later, I got to catch up with them and meet the absolutely adorable Katarina. It was a cold and blustery day at Indian Ladder Farms, but that didn’t throw Katarina off her modeling game.

What better way to commemorate a family reunion than with a photoshoot! What a beautiful day for it too. And there is nothing better than an enthusiastic group of children who enjoy getting their picture taken; there was no shortage of creative input in setting up shots. These cousins were so adorable together. We hope the Fish family enjoys every second of this time together with extended family!

What a great day to meet a super awesome family and take some photos in Washington Park. Stephanie and Adam were so relaxed with their 10 week old daughter, you just know she is going to grow up to be someone special. But for today, we get these super cute photos of Leena who tolerated me clicking away with the camera. These are only a few of the many faces she made (with a few stink eyes in there too, trying to figure out what the heck I was doing).

There are a little of hidden gems in Albany, and Buckingham Pond is one of them. When Kate emailed me and said she wanted some photos of their family there I was pretty excited. And what a beautiful fall day we had. And how cute is Luke! He was such a ham for the camera. Happy Birthday Luke!

Another beautiful day in a beautiful park with a beautiful family! And while we certainly adore all of the families we work with, when we arrived at the shoot to see three energetic boys bouncing around the flowers, we knew this family was a kindred spirit! And what fun they were, climbing rocks, smelling flowers, and snacking on home-picked apples. We hope they like this mix of action and posed shots, as there was a lot of action that day.

We had a fun family shoot with the Pranis family. Grandma wanted some cute photos of her grandchildren which was not hard to do with an adorable bunch like this! We walked around Indian Ladder Farms capturing some of the seasonal transitions. And no trip there is complete without a cider donut before the ride home. We hope this outing was just the beginning of enjoying all that fall has to offer!

Having scheduled this family shoot so far in advance, we really lucked out with the best weather this summer has had to offer. We had a great time walking and chatting around Washington Park. The children were so well behaved and so good to one another. They gave us a lot of suggestions about locations to shoot in the park; all of them picked out at least one spot they wanted their picture taken in… well except Ezra who just smiled wherever we put him.

One of our favorite things as photographers is to do a newborn shoot for a former bridal couple. There is something so magical about seeing that their love has grown from that day and manifested into a new little person. For Susan and Justin, that took the form of little Shirley. When we arrived to the house on the day of their wedding, 90’s music was blaring and the bridesmaids were getting dolled up while sipping their cocktails.
