[Bridget and Dave, the wedding]

I couldn't possibly head off to begin another school year tomorrow without posting this final summer photoshoot....Bridget and Dave's wedding.  These two are so perfect for each other, and being a part of their big day meant so much to me. Bridget is a phenomenal teacher, one of my daughter Sophia's all time favorites and a huge inspiration to her.  Sophia was even able to be a part of the action as an altar server.  The ceremony was held at St. Mark by Father Joe Rogliano (whose reaction in his picture below is so him- the most loving and kind priest around.) Such an amazing way to end the summer!

[Piper and Ruby, take two]

One of my favorite things about photographing families is watching them grow.  Last January I posted newborn pics of Piper, and I recently was able to photograph her and her sister Ruby once again. We met up at Sweet Jenny's in Williamsville for a session that ended Piper's first taste of ice cream. The girls' mom, Aubrey, is still one of the most fashionable people I have ever met, even while balancing a 2 year old and a 9 month old on the verge of walking!

[Maggie Rose]

Within the flurry of photoshoots I have done in the last week, there was Maggie Rose.  A senior at Buffalo Seminary, she is a creative and vibrant young woman who plans on studying video in college.  She was super fun to work with and was very free-spirited throughout the shoot...I loved that she could envision the ideas I had, and she was a natural in how she carried herself- no doubt having a filmmaker's eye.   We first met up at the Historical Society and and then went down to Wilkeson Point in the outer harbor, as she rows crew for Sem and is happiest when she's near the water.
