Lori and Tom {Binghamton Area Wedding Photographer}

Last Saturday Lori and Tom started their life together as husband and wife. They traveled quite the road to get there and I am certain that they are a stronger couple for it. Peonies perfumed the air and the sun was out in all of its brilliance. Their wedding day was charged with many emotions, lots of love, and a fun loving group of family and friends. Lori and Tom, thank you for letting me capture your wedding day and be a part of this incredible celebration!


This first glimpse is one of my favorite moments! We went around the side of the church where they were able to steal their first few moments of being husband and wife together. There was this moment that they looked at each other and the realization of their marriage bloomed over their faces! Incredible!


The buttercups offered a beautiful place to get in a little practice for their first dance at their reception.



Let's back up a little bit in the day, though... a couple of Lori getting ready...







Congratulations to both of you!

Love in Bloom {Ithaca Wedding Photographer}

Congratulations to Whitney and Michael as they prepare to start their lives as husband and wife! After eight years together, I'm quite certain they've heard, "It's about time!" more times than they can count! We took some time out from the hustle and bustle of wedding plans to hike out in the fields and lounge by the pond. Michael and Whitney even let loose a bit to show me their best Twist and Charleston! It was a beautiful day to be out in nature and especially with a couple that acts so natural together. Looking forward to your wedding day!

Soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs.! {Binghamton Area Wedding Photographer}

Right around the corner is the wedding of Tessa and Ray! We went out to have a little photo fun and Ray scored some major brownie points... when I asked them if there was any part of wedding planning that was the most fun Ray chimed right in with, "The photography!" Gotta love it! However, he has yet to see Tessa in her gown, so I know I won't be ranking so high before too long!

Tessa and Ray have a bit of a competitive streak that came out during their session so I have to tell you about one of the games they love to play. Every week the scrabble board comes out. After seeing the scrabble board... one of the two that they keep on hand... It has seen a lot of use! My favorite use, however, was the proposal. Ray meticulously set up the board to propose, only to have it nearly wiped out before his carefully planned message was read.

As you can see, Tessa did get to read the board, and most importantly, she said YES! Congratulations to the two of you! And Tessa, welcome to the FD family... "officially" (seeing as how we already consider you part of the crew!)

Precious Girl {Binghamton area newborn photograher}

And this precious little baby makes three! Looks like Mr. T is no longer the "baby" of the family. It was time to make room for sweet baby Courtney! An afternoon with her was like a little piece of heaven... she's so tiny, so sweet, and completely perfect! Congratulations on your little blessing Laura and Randy! Take the time now to enjoy every little newborn nuzzle and those sweet little noises she makes.






This next ones makes me wonder what she's thinking!





One day it will be hard to believe that her tiny little feet were the size of Daddy's thumb...

Spring Daffodils

Last weekend I was able to go to the most amazing place in our area! The subjects are my beautiful friend, Robin and her sweet little daughter. It was a fun girly afternoon full of frilly daffodils. Thousands upon thousands of daffodils in about every variety you can image! Thank you, Miss Joy, for sharing the beauty that is around you each and every day!
