Okay everybody that reads my blog, knows that I love dogs, but did you know I love kids too? Well, kids at weddings is one of my favorite things. They pull on my heart strings and make me laugh out loud. As Anderson Cooper says they are “Keeping it Real.”…

In case you missed yesterday’s quick peek of Kate and Jason’s Cazenovia engagement session, be prepared for cuteness overload!

When I first talked to Kate I immediately learned of the two most important people in her life. Jason her fiance and Trey her six year old son. Like I said, a whole lot of cute…

I also quickly learned that Trey really loves Legos. We owe my brother in law John a big thank you for his handy work on our little props…

When Jason was a teenager, he was friends with Kate’s older brother; and Kate being all of 13 had a big crush on him. Many years later their paths crossed again, and this time it looks like they both had a crush.

And who could blame them?

Dreamy…

Lovely Kate…

A little mom time…

I just have to close with this cute little family photo…

Kate, Trey, and Jason, you are one adorable family! Beth and I are so looking forward to photographing your big wedding day! xoxo, Alice

Last week was a very special engagement session. Not only did Beth and I get to photograph Kate and Jason, but we also had the joy of photographing Kate’s adorable son as well…

Lots more photos coming soon!

I’ve got lots of of weddings and engagement sessions to share, but first I’m going to keep with the baby streak!

Love Mila’s cute little outfit complete with awesome pink BABY CONVERSE!

Love this little family…

saying goodbye {to winter}

alice — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:23:31 +0000

Two weeks ago we had one of our larger snowfalls of the season, and in about two weeks spring will officially arrive. Right now we have clear blue skies and rising temperatures, and yet still plenty of snow is holding the ground hostage. So I’d say today is the center of a two week seasonal sandwich.

So while I anxiously await the bare ground, buds forming on trees, and a new crop of migratory birds to appear, I wanted to send winter a little parting gift of photos. Beth and I had so much fun photographing Derek and Cooper who took advantage of the big snowstorm with a super fun day of sledding…

Poor Derek got a boot full of snow on his last run of the day…

After a loads of sledding fun and climbing back up the hill, Cooper reached his tipping point…

Cooper and Derek are so lucky to have not only a brother in each other, but a best friend as well…

Bon Voyage Winter… see you in nine!

heart {no.13}

Several years ago, I read an interview with rocker girl Gwen Stefani. I don’t think she was pregnant yet, but she was talking about her marriage and plans for children in the near future. She asked “Really, what is more romantic than two people choosing to raise children together?” I know, I know. It can be very tiring, very messy, very unromantic on a day to day basis, but the hopeless romantic in me hopes that Gwen is right.

Some of my dearest wedding clients Piper and Jamie asked me to photograph their one year old daughter Helena. When I look at this photograph, I see romance and all kinds of love…

I think this is one of my all time favorite portraits!

I hope you are enjoying my 14 hearts countdown to Valentines Day. Let’s face it though, sometimes we don’t always get what or who we want. What do you do when a heart is out of reach?

This photo is from a snapshots! session with my nephews Derek and Cooper… you guys are the best! xoxo

Have you ever thought about doing a portrait session in the winter? If not, I think you should! While the flowers of spring, grass of summer, and colors of autumn are all beautiful, I have to say I do love me a wintry scene.

With this in mind, I’m happy to share with you a quick peek from my recent portrait session with the Nelsons. Love this shot…

Thanks guys!! xoxo

I’ve been living in Central New York for about two years now. Yesterday, however, was the first time I drove to Ithaca; and already, I can’t wait to go back. The drive was filled with amazing rural landscapes, which I hope to photograph in the springtime, if not sooner. I didn’t have time {to stop and shoot} during yesterday’s drive, because I was racing to catch the remaining sunlight hours for a portrait session with Sara’s family.

While I have some beautiful shots, of Sara and her adorable family at The Plantations of Cornell University, I could not resist posting this hilarious image today. It’s the kind of photo that is just screaming for a fun caption. My caption was going to be “Hey kids, Santa Claus is coming to town.” Can you think of one? Post your fun caption in the comments section below…

Thanks Sara, Owen, Young Jedi, and Yoda! xoxo, Alice
