The fall season started off slowly for us, which worked in favor with the sessions I had lined up. I always get nervous there will be no pretty foliage left for photos. I got lucky with the warm spells the leaves held out.
One of my first sessions took place a the end of September and it was like a summer day at Congress Park in Saratoga with the Zimmerman Family. It's been a pleasure watching Kasey's personality blossom. She'll be taking on a new role as a big sister in November.
What an amazing summer! We were lucky to get out have some fun adventures in the Adirondacks and across the Northeast. I took on few projects this summer because I wanted have fun and help out 15-LOVE during one of their busiest times. I look forward to fall and the sessions that are already getting booked! #gratitude #followyourdreams #qualityoverquantity
Summers are typically busy at 15-LOVE as I found out. Between the Tennis Program and the Healthy Living Program there were a lot of curious and high energy kids to engage. I feel lucky to use my marketing/communication skills to help this amazing organization make continue to make an impact in our local communities by helping under-served youth receive access to educational programming that will improve their chances of a brighter future. Not too mention they are supportive of me building my business, so I am incredibly grateful to have the best of both worlds.
Here are some highlights from past summer on either their website or Facebook page:

This past spring I completed a project for the Albany Airport Authority called Many Hands Make Flights Work. This employee portrait project focused on 12 airport employees who are carrying out important work that help keeps the airport running. These are just a few of the faces who assist with Operations, Custodial, Parking, Airfield, Building Maintenance and Curbside Security.
This was a fun project to do as portrait photography is my favorite, so I was thrilled at the opportunity to get behind the scenes to photograph these subjects. I am more excited to finally be able to share these images. Each subject were give the opportunity to approve their images for marketing use, so I had to wait for the gallery to be installed. The gallery is located at the top of the escalators before you enter security and is across from the Dunkin Donuts and will be on display for the next 6 moths.
It was a pretty summer day for the third birthday of this little one who I have been photographing since she was a newborn. We get together a couple times a year for some family portraits. Every fall, we get together and spend time on their family farm for portraits.
For her summer portraits, she was surrounded by lots of loving family including her great grandmother who recently turned 99. So this session was about capturing the family moments at this little one's lakeside birthday. It was a windy day, but I think we ended up some good shots.
I am always grateful and excited when I have clients return for more family photos. I first photographed this gorgeous family for some fall photos last October. As you can see, they make my job pretty easy as they are super photogenic. Their darling daughter is a ham and has perfected her 'cheese' for the camera.
