Erika and Jason got married in late January and couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was so mild out and the venue was so nicely decorated, the evening was a true winter-wonderland. Erika looked stunning in her dress and cape. I absolutely had to get them outside for portraits in the snow. I’m happy I did since I feel I captured the mood of their evening, and more importantly, both Erika and Jason love them.
Erika and Jason planned to get married in the evening at Strathmere in late January. Since they wanted day time photos of their venue, we opted to have their engagement photo session at Strathmere as well. Strathmere is such a great venue and everyone that works there is so friendly and accommodating. It wasn’t too crazy-cold outside the day we did the shoot and the sky was slightly blue. I had fun playing in the snow and getting Erika and Jason to pose with the snowshoes.
I photographed Gulnoza and Cedric’s wedding in August 2009 and have now had the privileged of capturing the maternity photos for their first baby. I brought my portable studio to their place and used a couple of backgrounds. The traditional black backdrop is one that I brought along, but what made it even more personal for them was to use one of the quilts she received as a present.
Liam is now a toddler and I’m so grateful to have had the privilege of photographing him as a newborn, at six months and now at 1 years of age. He’s such a happy baby, so easy to photograph. It’s fun to crawl around with him.
