Fifth Anniversary Portraits – Kim + Dusty | Erie PA Family Portrait Photographer

Friday, August 21st, 2009

The other night we met up with Kim and Dusty at their beautiful home here in town and had a fun family portrait session. I’ve known Dusty for decades [ wow, we are getting old! ] and I met his wife Kim when we were all fairly young so it was nice to shoot and hang out with the two of them and their two poodles Bella and Hunter. Bella is a natural poser while Hunter took some work to get him to pay attention but he is cute even if he is looking off into the distance :)   Here are a couple of my favorites from their session, you can find a few more on the HNP facebook page.

Cindy + Kevin’s Engagement Session in Westfield NY

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Yesterday Murl and I drove over to Westfield to meet with Cindy and Kevin for their engagement portraits. We had so much fun there – we parked the car and never had to drive anywhere else, there were so many cool places in walking distance of the car! It was also fun because of Kevin and Cindy’s personalities. They did an awesome job and we got way too many great shots! Here are a handful from last night.

I love them all but that last one takes the cake for me! Speaking of cake…we went to Sapore after the shoot for dinner, and for dessert we had a Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake with raspberries, black raspberries and blueberries. Holy smokes, it was unbelievable – and I don’t even like cheesecake!

Cindy and Kevin — thanks so much for a great shoot last night! We are looking forward to your wedding even more now :) Hope you love your portraits!

Temporary Studio Parking Update + A Fun Photograph

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that there is some major street renovating going on Route 89. There is no parking out front of the studio, I am not entirely sure how long this will last, so your best bet is to avoid Rte 89 / Lake Street if possible. Just take Route 20 and park on Main Street when you come see me. Thanks!

And just because this is a photographer’s blog…here is a photograph :)

This portrait was taken during my trip to Albany, NY with Vixen Sessions last week. You can see more on the Vixen Sessions Blog and on the Vixen Sessions facebook.
