moment junkie {published}

I never tire of looking at photographs, so when I discovered Moment Junkie I was instantly hooked!

Moment Junkie offers a fantastic daily dose of candid photographs from weddings.  Some of them are touching, sweet, and many of the images are hilarious.  I’m tickled pink that this photograph of mine from Sarah and Steve’s wedding is being featured by Moment Junkie today. It makes me laugh every time I look at it…

Chrissy - what an awesome shot!

well wed new york {published}

Well Wed New York is one of my favorite wedding magazines!

You can be sure I am thrilled to have some of my photographs included in their Fall & Winter 2011 issue.   For starters, they used one of my photographs from Jessica and Matt’s Skaneateles wedding on Page 1!

I couldn’t haven’t been more honored…

They also included a three page spread of an inspiration shoot Beth and I photographed for The Sweetest Occasion’s: Inspired Creations Contest

Last but not least some more images from Jessica and Matt’s wedding in an inspiration board…

I’d like to take a moment to applaud Well Wed’s commitment to being more environmentally friendly with FSC ® Certified Paper with low voc inks.

Looking forward to your Spring issue!

Roxana - These are beautiful! Congratulations on being published, well deserved. :)

Lindsay - Your work is so lovely! I’m glad it was included in the magazine.

catching up with baby mila {1 year old}

Mila is my first “Baby’s First Year” client, and it was so great to be able to witness and document this little darling’s growth.  To catch up, you can view here newborn portraits here, 4 months here, and at 8 months here.

Last fall we photographed Mila’s One Year portraits.  I tell you this baby girl is a bundle of sweetness and, of course, cute as button…

Gosh, we may just have to do Baby’s Second Year!  xoxo

Roxana - She’s adorable! And such a stylish young woman! :) Love her teeth!

Cindy - she IS a doll! super sweet pics (:

Shannon Rosan - What a little doll! I love how this is not a typical ’1 year old’ shoot, but a document of her life. Very cute!

Shannon Rosan - Baby Mila is a doll :) I love that this is not a typical ’1 year old’ shoot. but a document of her life at that age. Very well done.

Beth - Mila is such a cutie!

vintage dog collectibles {mi casa}

One of my new year’s resolutions is to give my blog more attention.  While most of it will be photography related, I am going to do my best to contribute more personal posts to help you get to know me better.  Today I’m going to start in the already-existing-but-sorely-neglected “mi casa” category.

While photography is my biggest passion in life, I’m more than a little bit obsessed with interior design, home magazines, and fixing up my 93 year old house.  One unique element to my home is my vintage and antique dog collectibles.  If you are new to my blog, you may have missed the first installment of my vintage dog collection as seen here.  It’s been quite a while since the original post, so here is a glimpse at some additions to my growing collection.  If you love dogs or quirky vintage/ antique artwork, you just may appreciate these as much as I do.

This amazing folk art piece is among my favorites.  The “boy dog” detail cracks me up.

This antique oil painting was an extremely generous gift from some of my doggy clients.

I picked up this little bakelite scottie pencil sharpener at an antique show.

Love this wood sculptural poodle toy.

Although I have some fab ceramic pieces, I definitely lean more to the metal figurines like these ones.

My eldest sister gave me this fun piece.  I sure do love me some smooshed-face-Frenchies.

Do you have any collectibles or elements that make your home unique?

Shannon Rosan - These are all so adorable! I love how unique each dog sculpture is.

Shannon Rosan - These are adorable! I love how unique each piece is.

Cindy - these are so cute! I’m currently doing some remodeling to the house and I love to see adorable ideas like this for inspiration!

bella figura letterpress invitations {commissioned}

Last summer Beth and I were commissioned to photograph some pieces of the elegant Bella Figura letterpress line (our absolute favorite letterpress invitation company).  They wanted something different, and after some brainstorming we decided to give our hand at playing around with a Diorama-Box theme.  We were stepping way outside of our comfort zone on this project, but it turned out to be so much fun!

We were thrilled when some of our images were featured on the amazing Green Wedding Shoes blog, as well as Bella Figura’s blog.

Below are some of our favorites from this wonderful adventure…

Sis Patterson - These are super duper! Love the shark and all of the elements – how did I miss this on Green Shoes?

Roxana - These really are beautiful! :)

kids at weddings {2011}

I hope you have been having a wonderful holiday!  Here is an inspiration shoot, for ringing in the New Year, my sister Beth and I photographed recently.  We are so honored that our dear friend Cyd of The Sweetest Occasion posted many of the photos on her awesome blog.

We created a yummy star themed dessert bar.  My niece Abby did an awesome job decorating the cookies and cupcakes…

Of course we couldn’t resist putting sequin collars and bows on the dogs to add to the glittery ambiance…

All of us here at Alice G Patterson Photography are wishing you a night of wonder and a very Happy New Year…

anniversary cake {featured}

If you love wedding blogs like we do, you may have noticed we were recently featured on Sparkle & Hay… yippee!

Beth and I decided to do an inspirational shoot for couples who want to have a sweet intimate anniversary celebration.

We picked up this cake from Wegman’s and then commissioned one of our other sisters to make us the adorable cake topper.  Be sure to check out her awesome paper crafting blog… Paper, Craft, Scissors.

Our friend Kate from Lovewell Design contributed the adorable burlap ribbon.  Napkins from Dwell Studio.  Plates are from the oh so fab Heath Ceramics.  Vintage Rosewood forks.

Hope you find a little inspiration for celebrating any happy milestone coming up in your own life.

Mindy - Another great idea! . That cake topper is adorable.

interview {featured}

I’m always so thrilled when my phone rings or mailbox bounces with news from the lovely Katie Lemos Brown of The Lovewell Post.  Most recently Kate contacted me for an interview to discuss some tips for brides and grooms in preparation for engagement sessions.  This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart, so I was thrilled to contribute.  The article also features some of my favorite photos from Alexis and Rick’s destination engagement session in Skaneateles, NY (they live in Pittsburgh, PA, but love CNY).  I think it so fantastic these two put so much thought into where they wanted to be photographed, and so honored they chose to work with me.

Please check out the full interview and photographs here.

In case you are not familiar, The Lovewell Post is a great resource for brides that are planning a wedding right here in beautiful Central New York.

KateB. - Alice! Thank you so much for your support and contribution! I love hosting your work and words, always. So much love, Kate

Mindy - Alice, you always have such great ideas!
