Jenna and Colin ~Vestal Maternity Photographer~

It is my pleasure to introduce Jenna and Colin as they anticipate the arrival of their first tiny miracle! We started their session in the most amazing location, tucked right behind the house of Colin's parents! Driving by, you never would have guessed the beauty tucked away behind their house. I completely felt like we had gone to some remote location! This session was an amazing heart experience. Jenna and Colin just melted into one another. If ever a couple was truly made for one another, it is them. They were just so natural and seamless together! Colin played the guitar for his beautiful bride and their growing baby boy while the water streamed over the rocks. It was like a little piece of heaven here on earth. Jenna has given so much of herself to the babies and toddlers at our church, it will be amazing to see her with their very own baby boy.

A glimpse for Abbey ~Vestal Maternity Photographer~

Ok, here she is! I got a little excited and posted some early images, but here is the full glimpse behind the glass! These are a few more shots of the angelic mama that I posted a few days ago. Just for fun I'm adding on some images from their very first session with me (D'LyndL Photography's first official session, btw!) I love going back and seeing all of the changes! And Abbey, my phone is on at all hours! Can't wait for your newest arrival!













Ready for the ones from before? This was shortly after Mr. J. had arrived into their lives. The first is still one of my all-time favorite images... Daddy and J's feet....







And soon, three will become four....

Beautiful Mama-to-be! ~Vestal Maternity Photographer~

Ok, so this is actually a "pre-sneak-peek." I have had a couple of ideas popping around in my brain for a few months now and was able to bring them to life today! The beauty you are about to see is actually D'LyndL Photography's first official client and my friend Abbey! (Now, if this were the real sneak peek, I would post photos from her first sesson... however, you're going to have to wait another day or two!) For now, I had to post! Abbey was such a trooper as I fussed with fabric and lights to get the effects that I was looking for. We had a fun time catching up with each other. Abbey, I am so happy for you and your growing family! Thanks for the fun afternoon! More photos coming soon, and newborn photos will follow very soon as well! (Jeremy and I are too certain of it for it to go any other way!)

Congratulations to Michelle and John!

Last week our cousin got married! The wedding was beautiful, and I must say the flower girl and ring bearer were the most precious little angels ever! Ok, so I'm a little biased. My role in this wedding was not the photographer, it was mother of the ring bearer and flower girl, and mother of the bulletin passer-outer as well!

Speaking of the photographer... She was the fabulous Katie Mihalak! Katie and I have been chatting online for quite while now trying to coordinate a time to get together to shoot, and as it turns out, this was our first chance. We had big dreams, but little time together between her doing her job and me keeping track of the kids and visiting with family. However, we did get a small patch of time getting my two tiny tots together with John and Shelly.

Here are a few of my shots as well as some images of Katie at work! The family is loving Katie's sneak peeks and are looking forward to the final reveal! Thank you Katie, and I hope we can really coordinate our schedules soon!

Shelly and John, we love you and we are so happy for you, and the kids too! Can't wait to see you again!

Trash... errr... Wash the Dress! ~Vestal Wedding Photographer~

I had the most fabulous day today with Whitney and Phil! This super fun couple have been married for two years and decided to have an adventure! We went out today to take some beautiful portraits right before we headed out for a little "water play"! We had so much fun and got some great shots! I am so excited to share! I really had a hard time narrowing things down, so if you are anxious to see more, head on over and become a fan on Facebook! Many more posted there! Happy Anniversary!

Miss Madison, 6 Months! ~Vestal Portrait Photographer~

The most adoarable, hugable, and cheek pinchable Miss Madison just turned 6 months old! She has changed so much since her newborn session! The first year of life is truly an incredible time in our lives. Infants learn so many new things during this time and they grow and change so much that if you blink you miss it! Thankfully Miss Madison's Mommy and Daddy are treasuring every single moment!

I also have to say that Madison's newborn session is extra special to me because it actually brought our families together. Jen, Brian, and Madison have become treasured friends of ours! We would have found each other eventually since Brian and my husband are both volunteer firefighters, but this sped up our meeting and I'm so thankful for that!

Enjoy a little glimpse of your baby girl's 6 month session! Don't forget to check Facebook for a couple extra as well!
