- I wish you had been doing senior sessions when my older children were seniors!
carolynn + maromi {two brunettes}
Carolynn Giordano and her little dog Maromi are both so sweet! Carolynn will be introducing her new Two Brunettes website soon, showcasing her incredible talent in design, illustration, and for you lovely brides to be… custom branding for any event! Until her new site is up, be sure to subscribe to her great blog here. ...
- Of course these are awesome!!! I love watching how you take what you know and push it further to create something so beautiful. Way to go! I love them all but due to my obsession with frames I might say that one is my favorite. Can't wait to see the next ones!!
- awesome outside snow image with the two scroll end stands!!!! ;-))) lovely triad with faint warm color of three small images -- middle one w/frame: three show splendor of artisan and her works ... then the bottom b&w portrait with dog ♥
- diggin the vintage hat and trunk
- All the photo's are GREAT! Carolynn looks happy and comfortable in front of the camera. As a photographer you captured the beauty within.
- ALICE!!! you are incredible....i that word does you justice! You are the most amazing person to work with. xoxoxo
- Carolynn looks so beautiful and at ease in front of your camera, Alice. These are fantastic photographs! Her blog looks fun- I will be anxious to browse her site too once it's up and running!
- Its tough to choose a favorite because I'm in love with Ro, but my favorite is the single shot of Carolynn outside. I love the colors and her expression! These are great!!!
- Hard to choose a favorite, but the outside shots are over the top!
- Gorgeous! Amazing eyes!
- Love, love, love these! I adore the one close up with the dog at the beginning of the post!!!!
february snapshots! {babies}
- I know Laure... always the photographer, never the photographed :) xoxo
- Love, love this idea! Do you do boat themes? I'm hiring you this summer to do me and my kids! I have none....I wonder why? xoxo
- You did a fantastic job capturing that baby's spirit!
heart {no. 11}
Like fire and ice, sometimes opposites attract…
Big thanks to Beth for making me this awesome ice candle… such a clever girl!! xoxo
- Thanks Nanci... I'm digging this image a lot!
- Wow! Love the big snow heart. The candle brings thought of warmth.
heart {no. 10}
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
- Ha ha Cooper can't get it.
- LOL that brings back memories. I remember jumping up trying to grab something out of my brother's hands. And worse yet was when he'd straight arm me while holding my head so I couldn't touch him.
- Sensation this is a good giveaway. I so necessitate this lol. What an enormous awareness you have provided here. I actually resemble it. Gratitude for this well-informed post
heart {no. 7}
These images come from Julie and Rick’s engagement portrait session last summer. I followed them along as they picked blueberries, which they used to make homemade blueberry jam for their wedding favors. They were so nice to send me a jar. I thought I would make a nice Marthaesque picture of the jam, but instead...
heart {no. 6}
Heart number six is in honor of my new friend Clayton Austin who is visiting this weekend, all the way from Texas! In addition to being the speaker at our CNY PUG meeting on Monday, Clayton also flew all this way so he could photograph some portraits in the snow here. With that in mind,...
heart {no. 5}
Don’t forget I’m a newbie at this blog challenge business, but hang in there with me. Today’s entry is a little different from the rest. Instead of making a heart, Beth my sister “found” a heart. Kind of like when you’re laying on a blanket looking up at a summer sky and you see a...
- Great hair style Beth and you know I'm a sucker for an abstract heart found in nature.
- Love is everywhere :)
- Excellent heart - and great update on your studio manager <3
wedding albums {new portfolio}
I recently heard another photographer say “It is not only our job to make beautiful images for our clients, but to also guide them through to the end of the experience… the end being the final destination for the photography.”
When properly done, an album will tell your story. You can pull it off a shelf,...
- The album is beautiful. Great job (:
- looks great Alice!
- Love, love, love this album!
- My wedding album is the BEST money I spent for my wedding. Fifteen years later, we still take it out and look at it. The kids are fascinated by it too.
- The quality of the album paper and binding is wonderful, combined with your design and gorgeous images, its divine!
- This is fabulous - I love how the images are not constrained to one page. And the double page spread - it reminds me of Life magazine - uber professional and memorable.....
carrie + andy {slideshow}
Absolutely loving the new trend in stop motion messages. Carrie’s and Andy’s Valentines Day themed portrait session, gave me the perfect opportunity to give it a try for myself.
These two are so cute, and I couldn’t be happier with this fun little valentine message…
The creative possibilities for this type of fun stop motion message...
- Dude, that was fantabulous! And not to mention uber cute! I like how the pictures move like something in a flipbook. Great job Carrie and Andy, and especially Alice.
- Very nice : ).
- I love these Alice! So fresh and fun! Great couple and great job!
- LOVE THIS!!! What a great idea and sweet couple. F-A-B!
- How fun! I wanna do one~ is it just a bunch of pictures and then more of how you do the slideshow, email meeeeeee, if you can have a great day~
- Oh, my goodness! This is so incredibly cute! I love it!
- This is too cool! You are simply amazing.
- That was good
- The best part about this is that there's nothing fake feeling about it - it's exactly the Carrie & Andy that I know. :) I love the secret shot of Andy disposing of the evidence!
- Love it!
- Ohhhhh - I love it! It is retro and new at the same time....
thank you {kubota images}
Last night was our monthly CNY PUG (Pictage User Group) meeting for professional photographers! Unfortunately a few of our members couldn’t make it due to little life events, like oh going to have a baby any day now, dogs in surgery, sick kids, and jetting off to Florida… you know who you are :) Luckily...
- Thats so cool, where is this pug huh? :-)
- Yes, but I got theee golden ticket! Just like in Willy Wonka!!! I am beyond thrilled! Until the next episode!
- Thanks guys... my sister Beth (aka best studio manager evah!) and I put a lot of thought and outreach to for these awesome door prizes. I'm happy to say though, that I think everyone is walking away a winner, due to the great community found in these meetings. Pictage is a huge leader in the philosophy of building supportive communities amongst professional photographers; and we are so happy to be leading this group!
- Thanks Wendi and Kubota Images!
- Don't know how you manage to get such rockin prizes! Great job and what a lucky group!
- Someone went home happy!
winter semi formal {photo party}
I’ve added a new “photo booth” service as an a la carte option for my 2010 clients. It’s brand new service, so we thought we would try it out last weekend. My niece invited her friends over to my house for a little pre-dance photo party, before they headed out for a great night at...
- Fun- Zany- Silly- slices of cool times! Like it: photo booth :-D
- I love all of them! I was so glad we could use the photo booth, it was great fun, and they turned out so cute!
- Aw! I love them all, but especially the first one!
- What fun - and a cool way to get pictures of your guests (that show personality)!
vendor introductions {meet tara hogan of ink + wit}
It’s been a long time coming, but I’m finally introducing a new segment to my blog called “vendor introductions.” My goal is to present you with amazingly talented wedding vendors! So without further ado, get on your happy shoes, and make the acquaintance of Tara Hogan of Ink + Wit…
I first found Tara on the...
- Great and Wonderful work Tara, and her blog is fantastic. It always amazes me how creative and prolific people can be.
- I've seen her work up close and its beautiful! Now I can see she is too! :)
- Great stuff!
sara, owen, will, and charlotte {just a peek}
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...
- "Whose kids are these??!!!!"
- If you can just hold still we'll have PIZZA for DINNER!!
- "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!"
- "You just won an all expenses paid vacation to Disney World!"
- I "hear" 'Mom, Mom, Mom' ... 'Dad, Dad, Dad ...' Maybe that's just from my own personal experience! :)
b’ville {dipped in gold}
The colors of fall here are so amazing… I mean super aaaaammaaaaazzzziinnnggg!
The contrast of being in sunny southern California one day, and back in New York’s fall the next is striking. It feels like I have on rose colored glasses… but I don’t! The colors against the bright blue sky are simply breathtaking! Well, I...
- Love the new blog!!! And you DO live in a gorgeous neighborhood! Blessings : )
- wow, these colors ARE amazing! we don't really have seasons where i come from, so to see it like this is beautiful!
- I absolutely love the picture with the tire swing!
look up “happy halloween” in the dictionary {and you’ll find a picture of Cooper}
Cooper donned an awesome halloween costume for his school parade yesterday! In fact, it was such a great costume, he won first prize in a costume contest held at the McHarrie Museum last night! Here is cute a snap I took with my sister’s point and shoot…
It you think about it, this getup...
- :)
sara and jordan {sort of}
I had a great family portrait session with Jeff and his beautiful daughters Jordan and Sara. You may remember Sara from her senior portrait session! After the shoot today, we were talking on the front porch saying our goodbyes, as they were all getting ready to head home. At some point I glance over and...
- Adorable!
central new york {pug}
I couldn’t be happier with the turn out of our first ever CNY PUG (Pictage User Group) meeting! Seriously, it was a great night, and there are so many people to thank!
First, and most importantly, a BIG OL’ THANKS to the amazing Justin and Mary Marantz for such an in depth and truly beneficial presentation. ...
- Alice, Thank you sooo much for hosting such a wonderful evening! We truly enjoyed ourselves and you can bet that we were chattering away the whole ride home, full of new ideas and inspiration! Thanks for opening up your beautiful home to us and thanks to Justin & Mary for a phenomenal presentation. It was wonderful to meet and network with other fantastic area photographers. Oh, and I agree with Beth that the Spider Holster is way cool! Keep us updated on the next PUG meetings, if the weather cooperates we'd be happy to make the drive again!
- What an exciting night! I am so grateful for the work that you have done to get us, our own PUG! I love that we have so many talented professionals in our backyard and now we can actually utilize that! Thanks!!
- Thank you so much!
- Hi Alice!, Just a short message to thank you once again for your excellent hospitality, and truly great first Central New York PUG meeting at your house Wednesday evening. Although I've been a Pictage Pro member of several years, I've been feeling disappointed not having a PUG in our area (the closest one being four hours away in NYC). Now I don't need to be disappointed anymore since the PUG meeting that you hosted and ran so beautifully was fabulous. I now look forward to continuing the tradition that you've begun of networking with other talented photographers and sharing the wealth of one-another's experience, vision, and common passion of photography. Thank you once again for a great first PUG meeting!
- Thanks so-o much for hosting a great meeting! I enjoyed all the speakers - who were exceptional - and meeting the other photographers. I am back to work with a renewed spirit and belief in what I'm doing. Thanks again. See you next month- Marianne
- Justin and Mary are awesome! Their presentation was very inspirational! Shai's spider holster is way cool! It seemed like everyone enjoyed the meeting :)
it’s going to be a good night {tonight}
October 6th is a big day/night for me. I’ve been counting down to it. Why? Well, it’s very exciting…
As a longtime member of the Pictage community, I am so happy to announce that I have started a local Pictage User Group (aka PUG) in Central New York. If you are not familiar with Pictage, it...
- Thank you so very much for starting a CNY PUG. I am looking forward to the next one!
lauren {a few more portraits}
Way back in July, I photographed Lauren’s senior portrait session. Here is a favorite from that shoot…
Lauren is so gorgeous and so much fun to photograph, that we went a little over the usual two hour session. By the time, we got to the school to photograph her “track” portraits, the wind was blowing us...
