Baby John turns 1!

Wow! I have really been behind on my blogging! I thought Id share a few shots from last night. I was on my way to my sister's house for my nephew's 1st birthday party.

As I drove, the sun was setting. It was turning the sky an amazingly bright orange color. I was so glad I had my camera with me! I quickly pulled over, made the kids get out to pose for a couple shots in front of the sunset! They even got along while they did it! I ended up being fashionably late for the party, but I think I got a couple cool shots of the kids.

The party was fun. My sister's kids are more energetic than I remember my kids being at that age. I don't know how she does it!

Anyway, here are a few shots from the party as well as the sunset. (all photos of the highway were taken by Jess. I didn't shoot and drive)

Another Senior

This is Maria. She is a senior at Dunmore High School. We have known her family for a while now. Instead of taking the summer off like most kids her age, Maria spent the summer in boot camp.

We did a few indoor shots, but she really loosened up when we got outside. I think she did a great job modeling! Any of you last minute seniors who go to Dunmore, be sure to get a card off Maria. You'll receive 16 free wallets!

K's Cake Smash

We finally had the pleasure of doing a cake smash! Our first victim, I mean client, was Miss K. It's hard to believe she is 1 year old already! We put the cake in front of her and she didn't know quite what to do. After some help from mom, she was soon covered in icing and bits of cake. We put some music on, and she really started jamming. Such a cutie and such a mess she made! Good job, K! Mom and I went upstairs to give her a bath and left Ed to clean most of the mess. Poor Ed! Here are some of our messiest and favorites from her session.

Angelina and Zack

I wanted to share an engagement session we did last week. This is a great couple, referred to us by our friend Jason, who by the way, is also getting married. We are his photographer as well.

We met them at Marywood College. This is where they met, and they may also be getting married in the chapel there.

We started with some fun shots near the cemetary and moved around to the chapel. We had loads of fun. I could not narrow the images down. I loved them all. You could really see the love between the two of them. I can not wait for their wedding in the spring. I know we are going to have a blast and get some great images!

Parties and Fairs - Goodbye summer

Sorry its been so long since I've updated our blog. This has been one crazy month. My daughter Jess, turned 16. This means permit test and driving lessons. She has also been released to play soccer again. It was a long road, but I knew she would do it. Thanks to the girls at Comprehensive Physical Therapy for making it fun for her. You don't know how glad I was that she was able to go with you. You made it fun for her, even though she was doing a lot of work. I know she is going to be back better than ever on the field. August also meant a big birthday party. With all the rain we've been getting, we decided to do an indoor party. we Set up the photo booth and let everyone take a turn. What a blast they had! The kids loved it. The adults loved it.

The following week we too the booth to my neice's graduation party. She is a freshman at Weidner. To send her off, we threw a party with all the family and friends. Everyone had a great time, and she had her scrapbook that everyone signed.

One week more we were called to photograph the grand opening of the new spa at the French Manor. What a beautiful place. The spa itself is gorgeous. I will be saving my pennies for a trip to the spa soon! Thanks to Genni and Bridget for calling us!

I guess that brings us to this week. The end of the summer. This was always such a bittersweet week for me growing up. It was the end of the summer, which meant GDS fair. My father was in the demolition derby every year. We would spend the summer helping him strip down his car, then we would paint it for him. There is a photo of all of us kids on and around each car, each summer, as I grew up. The fair was always great, but the fair also meant my friends were leaving for the winter. Our neighbors at the lake, old family friends for generations, would go home until the next summer. Oh the tears!

This week Ed and I have a booth at the GDS fair. I am really loving it. I love seeing all the small kids having so much fun. Its really bringing back a lot of memories for me. My friends from the lake, they can't be there this year. I have been updating my facebook as much as I can while we are sitting there, so they can still be there with me.
Thank you to all the old friends who have come out to see us so far this week. Thanks to all of our new friends we met this week. We hope to see you again.
