WEDDINGS — ENGAGEMENTS — SENIORS — FAMILIES — PROPOSALS — BEST OF THE YEAR
*More blog posts will resume once I have more time in my schedule to update my more recent work. Thank you for understanding.
This senior might look familiar to you if you have been following my work. I first met Connor during prom season when I did photographed him with his gorgeous girlfriend! This time he was just dressed a little bit different. We met at Fallbrook and took some regular photos at first and then had a little more fun!
Read MoreQuite often I get emails from parents of the seniors I work with being concerned how they might do during their session. It gives me a nice heads up, but I honestly love working with each individual senior. Each one of them is so different and I love hearing their story and future plans after they finish school. Jack's smile made me smile behind the camera!
Read MoreFinally had some time to edit some of my seniors after a crazy past few weekends of photographing multiple weddings!!! August is always my busiest month, but now that is over I can breathe! Mary was another one of my seniors at Wayne Central and this girl is super involved in sports!!! Gorgeous and talented! We met at the George Eastman house and had a great time exploring around.
Read MoreI first met this beautiful couple back in 2013 when I was visiting my best friend at Niagara University. A couple of years later, Miranda reached out to me and asked me to be her wedding photographer!!! I've never traveled to the Buffalo area for a wedding so I was very excited for this wedding!
Read MoreFor quite awhile, my family has known the Saba family. When I was back in high school, I actually drew a portrait of the three siblings!!! My mom is very close with their mom and soccer is a huge sport in both our families. Bryce is the youngest and now a senior in high school! He is super active and involved in multiple sports. Poor Bryce injured his foot a few weeks prior to our session and originally he wasn't allowed to wear anything on the bad foot.
Read MoreThis beauty might look familiar if you follow The Jimmy Awards, but she also was one of my seniors for the class of 2016! Abby is extremely talented and Ellie Woods fits her personality perfectly. You are going to have an amazing experience in college and I wish you the best of luck (not that you need any). Have a great time at Baldwin Wallace University!!!
Read MoreA couple weeks right before this past Mother's Day I received a message from a familiar face. Alaina and I played soccer together in high school, but I haven't seen her in a few years. I was so excited that she wanted to give her mom a gift certificate for a family portrait session! Later in July we finally met up when all of the family was in the area and we went to Bear Creek in Ontario, NY.
Read MoreFor the past 6 years, Oswego has been my second home. That session was very bittersweet because it's one of my final session in this amazing place before I move to the Fingerlakes region! Makayla was one of my senior model reps this year and besides being extremely photogenic and absolutely beautiful, she has the sweetest heart and a bright future! I wish you the best of luck and thank you for taking on this adventure with me!!!
Read MoreMy first senior for the class of 2017 hits the blog today! Alex is a very special senior because his older sister, Katie was also a Jill Studio senior! We went back to where we first met two years ago, but this time it was for Alex. We walked around the Webster Arboretum with his parents and the cutest corgi!
Read MoreTrying out a new location is always something I enjoy! It pushes me to explore an unknown place and it's unlike any of my other work. I thought Michael and Stephanie might be up for the adventure with me and we headed off to the Lower Falls in Rochester, NY. I've always seen pictures on Instagram, but never knew what I needed to do to get there.
Read MoreFor their Shammy's 90th birthday, a bunch of family members surprised her with a family portrait session at her 90th birthday party! She had absolutely no idea until a couple of hours after her party began! With family all over New York and across the country, it's difficult to get everyone in one place. Family sessions are so important, but this was a huge milestone to celebrate.
Read MoreBesides when I took my younger brother's senior portraits back in the summer of 2014, this was my first senior who I knew as a tiny little baby. I grew up knowing her older sister and even spent some time at their house during play dates. Alyssa and I ran out of time last summer because of her busy schedule, BUT we ended up having time in May to set up a session!
Read MoreThis session was a first for me! I've only taken pictures from my brother's prom, so when Connor's mom reached out to me I was very excited! I guess prom is similar to how a wedding works, but with a different purpose. The girls look for their perfect dress and get all dolled up, while the guys put on their best suit or tux. This session started off a little different because when it rains, I just reschedule for a day with better weather. In this case I could not do that so I thought quick and brought them to a local greenhouse
Read MoreNot many people think of this when it comes to a gift idea, but Alexa, Justin and Olivia completely think like me! One of the most thoughtful gifts you can give someone is an updated pictures! Alexa reached out to me to taken some pictures of her and her beautiful sister to give to their mom for mother's day. Then we also took some of her and her boyfriend, Justin, to give to his mom for mother's day. What's super smart about this gift is now they all have new pictures to display around their new home together
Read MoreMeet Alyssa! She's one of my senior model reps for Jill Studio Photography + Design! Being a part of the Wayne Central alum, I love finding great people to work with from my old high school! Alyssa is seriously stunning. Be sure to reach out to her or myself to learn about booking your senior session with Jill Studio!
Meet Juliana! She's is my other senior model rep at Wayne Central! Juliana is such a sweetheart and has a great personality that had me laughing. This lovely lady also has a twin brother!!! I'm so excited to be working with the both of you!
Read MoreThe end of April begins two things.... The start of my 2016 weddings and my senior model rep sessions! I'm so lucky to have found four beautiful girls this year. Makayla + Haley are both from Oswego, NY and the first two girl I photographed. One awesome perk of being a part of the Jill Studio Senior Rep Team are all the pre-senior shoots!
Read MoreThis past Sunday, I met Megan and Dave at Fallbrook for their engagement session! It was the perfect day and felt much more like the end April than February… 54 degrees and sunny! I had such an amazing time getting to know these two and I can’t wait for their wedding this October!
Read MoreThis year, my younger brother and I decided to surprise all of my family with updated pictures of the two of us. I had taken his senior portraits a year earlier, but we thought we should take a couple together and some new head shots that would all match.
