The Smith Family Portraits in Pittsford NYAugust 24th, 2010

These are my favorites from the multiple family portrait session. I love the life and reality of these images… these are the types of images I wish I had of my family growing up. My biggest memory of my Dad was wrestling with him after he got home from work! We were all laughs and chases and tackling, including myself. At one point, I think I had 4 of the 5 boys jump on my back.

Bristol Harbour Wedding with Molly & EddieJune 29th, 2010

Well what can I say about this wedding at Bristol Harbour in the Finger Lakes? There was the threat of rain all day, with sprinkles coming and going. There was an *achem* delay in getting the ceremony started. There was a gorgeous, however foggy view of Canandaigua Lake. And most important, there was the wonderful and touching wedding ceremony for Molly and Eddie.
