Pomp + Circumstance 2012

Congratulations to my little sister Sarah, who graduated yesterday with her Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Utica College!! She finished top of her class, and had a fancy-pants decorated mortarboard to boot. I couldn’t be happier or prouder to see her making her way in the world :)

She even got a kiss from the Dean ;) ˆ

David + Amanda (a Sneak)

This weekend I had the opportunity to explore the Cornell campus with David and Amanda–home from Kansas City for a quick visit and some wedding planning! Here’s two of my favorites from our session–but of course there’s plenty more where these came from! Stay tuned for even more lovely photos of the future Mr. & Mrs. Wrigley!

Thinking thoughts, and other important things

It seems like I haven’t been home a lot lately. Between meetings with clients, shoots in Rochester and Albany, jobs in New Jersey, and the occasional visits home home (to check the progress of the new bathroom my mom is designing ;) it’s like I’m living in my car!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve come to appreciate the little joys of road tripping it. With life being so busy and full, it’s sometimes easy to lose sight of things, and forget to take a moment or two for ourselves. All the hours I’ve been logging behind the wheel have given me time to reflect, think my thoughts, and remember to give thanks for little blessings.

And with sunsets like these to look forward to, I’m counting the hours till my next road trip!

I hope you’re all enjoying your Thursday, and looking forward to a lovely weekend. Here’s wishing you some quiet moments for yourself–and of course, no traffic jams on your drive home ;)

Stefhanie + Jeramy (a Sneak)

I can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing time I had with Stefhanie and Jeramy yesterday–exploring the fields, communing with nature, and discussing the finer points of fashion–but I can tell you this: there’s loads more loveliness coming your way from this session. Until then, here’s just a peek at a couple of my favorites!

A sweet looking couple. Nice photographs!

Erin + Dan: a University of Rochester Engagement Session

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again–I love engagement sessions. While they serve a number of purposes–from getting to know your photographer before your wedding day to allowing you to get comfortable in front of the camera–I love them most because it allows me to really connect with clients before the hubbub and excitement of their wedding day! The few hours that we spend together are just for us–and they allow us to work out any kinks, and find a rhythm that works best for us. In short, the sessions are fun, and gives us a dry run of sorts before THE day. Add coffee and hilarious conversations to the mix, and it’s pretty easy to see why I love them!

When I first met Dan and Erin for their engagement session, I knew I was in for a treat. Though the forecast called for sprinkles, and parking proved to be a challenge, Dan and Erin were smiles galore for their session, and ready to bust a move! Absolutely nothing was going to get in the way of these two having an awesome time ;)

With wedding bells for the happy couple just a few weeks away, I’m so glad I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with them. Sweet doesn’t even begin to cover their personalities–these two are just SO happy, and SO in love, it’s contagious (honestly. I love them both, and so will you ;). So take a peek at a few of their engagement photos, and wish the lovebirds well in the comments section below! They’ll be back here soon as Mr. & Mrs.!

My favorite part of the day? Erin’s hair. Just look at it!! Pure awesomeness.

The architecture on campus was just stunning–it was the first time I had visited, and it just blew me away! Columns and lovely stonework anyone?

Normally guys are a little shy about working it for the camera. But Dan was all about it! He put me to shame when I tried to demonstrate the moves–he’s a total natural ladies and gentlemen! <3 ˆFor those of you who are familiar with the campus, this is right next to “the creepy ladies with no arms or heads.” I love it when my clients give me tours ;)

This photo just makes me want to smile. All. Day. Long. ˆ

That’s all for today loves! Have a fabulous Thursday :)
