Here's a few teaser photos of the absolutely gorgeous baby Emma! She was so co operative and cheerful throughout her photo session. Even though it's nice weather I still find that we can get some really great images in the studio of children under a year. I just love the way the light shows off their perfect skin. Emma's mom and dad, Jessica and Scott will have a tough time choosing as there are so many great photos to select from. But hey, Emma can't help it if she's so photogenic, right? -RN
A while back I got a call from Naomi, who wanted to surprise her parents with a family portrait. They were all gathering to celebrate her parent's 30th wedding anniversary in Niagara on the Lake. The family were coming from Manhattan New York, Boston, MA, and Washington. While I drove to meet them at the Bed and Breakfast they were staying at, the rain drops started on my windshield. I thought we'd be doing the portraits indoors until Naomi met me at the door and mentioned her Mom loves the water. The rain held back as we headed to the Queens Royal Park and used the gazebo and the huge tree down by the mouth of the river. In a few of the photos I included Fort Niagara across the river so they can have a bit of the good old US of A in their portrait. They were such a great family to work with and happy to try anything I suggested. RN
Here's a sneak peak for mom and Dad from our park session with Kayleigh this morning. The park right next door to our home/studio is definitely one of the reasons we bought this house back in 2006. I've photographed dozens and dozens of sessions there and the light is just amazing at different times of day. This morning Kayleigh had just snoozed a bit before her arriving and was bright and cheery for her session. This is the day she turns six months. Do you get cake for that? RN
Another hot and humid start to a wedding this past Saturday but the heat didn't seem to bother Sherri that much. She was focused on her saying her vows with Greg and what a beautiful setting they had in Greg's parent's back yard in Niagara on the Lake. Sherri got ready at the Pillar and Post before leaving by horse and carriage for a short ride to Charlotte St., where the wedding guests and Greg waited on her arrival. After the ceremony they went back out together for a 40 minute private ride before returning for photos. They sat down to a scrumptious catered meal and later Sherri got the dancing started. She and Greg had taken some dancing lessons and impressed everyone with their smooth moves. Thanks Sherri and Greg for including me in your intimate wedding day! -RN
