Nothing brings me more joy than having the privilege of doing a little lifestyle family photography for the same family multiple years in a row. I photographed the Newton Family in the fall of 2020, and they invited me to return for some backyard family photos once again this year.

Emily, Kobe, and Mila came over to my house on a cold winter day, but I made sure to keep the house warm Mila as we were photographing her in front of a large glass door for gorgeous, soft morning light. These first moments and memories are the most precious, even when the baby is crying, only wants to be fed, and wonders what this camera in front of their face is. If you’re able to, a newborn mini session is a perfect way to document this time within the first couple of weeks after they’re born.

Continuing from my post last week, I was also able to photograph this extended family session! It was actually the same location where Lindsay and Mike got married years ago, on his family’s property! It was such a joy to be able to reconnect with everyone after 3 years for some updated family Christmas photos. I just love the kids’ smiles and giggles interacting with their parents. That’s how I strive to make these family sessions! Memories and love above all else by having fun.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to decorate for the Holidays this year! I think after 2020 we all need extra joy. Lindsay and Mike were one of my first wedding couples back in 2016, and last year they had a daughter last year. It was only fitting to reconnect and take holiday photos for them! I always love getting the chance to create new memories with my couples and their families.

I had the chance to photograph their desserts and the lovely owners, Lauren Scarpelli and Kaleigh Ligoci, a couple of months ago as some promotional shots for them! I stopped in last Saturday during their soft launch and picked up a box of goodies. It was amazing to see them, catch up, and admire their shop! I’m already planning my next visit. I highly recommend stopping into their shop. It’s located right in the village of Liverpool.

I've taken so many pictures of her over the years, and genuinely love this girl! Being able to take ones of her and Dan over the past years has been a joy! She was the first person I reached out to with this crazy idea of Doing a Facetime Photo Session.

Courtney reached out to me since she had won a 1 hour session from Symphoria. It had just become fall, but the temperatures were anything but fall weather. It was one of the hottest days of September, but we were still able to take pictures of all of them in hockey gear. She’s a self proclaimed “hockey mom,” and I loved their energy!
