{the mooney family}

One of my favorite parts of photographing people is watching their families expand and grow.....Julie and Jeff have been in my pictures over the last 5 years now, beginning with their engagement and wedding, and more recently a session with their little girl Anna.  I was able to catch up with them once again this past weekend at Chestnut Ridge, this time with the whole Mooney Family, including little Patrick who was a mere bean in Anna's session.  It was really fun to see everyone again, Camryn who was the flower girl in Julie and Jeff's wedding is so grown up now and Anna is one independent girl!

Beautiful morning with a beautiful family!  I met up with the Murphys at the Historical Society, bright and early to catch a peaceful sunrise over the water.  The Murphy kids were so much fun to photograph....I was a little nervous, as lately I have been working with much younger kids, but these guys were up for whatever I threw at them and it made for some great images!

The best thing so far about our Buffalo Autumn has been the amazingly warm weather and photographing adorable families!  Yesterday I returned to Tifft for another session with the Lizauckas Family.  It has been a year since I saw Claire for the first time, only a few weeks old.  What a little independent lady she has become!  And Tony has grown even more charming and adventurous, so Tifft was a perfect fit.
