I can’t tell you how thrilled I was when Cyd of The Sweetest Occasion fame, asked me to photograph portraits of her dog Nina. Okay, I guess I can tell you… I was super thrilled! Everyone who knows me, is very aware of my dog obsession. I own three dogs myself. As if that isn’t...
I was going to point out which of these photos I like best, but when I went back through them I realized they are all striking, adorable, heartwarming.
THANKS FOR THE LINK to Cyd’s blog. It is full of good stuff.
Such beautiful shots! I was going to connect with you on Linkedin, but decided to just let you know here, how wonderfully you’ve captured the soul of Nina. We have a chocolate & and black lab, they are wonderful! Warm regards from Oregon!
What sweet pups! Great photos :)
Beautiful B&W shots :))
… And the last image is warm liquid amber … lovely.
These are lovely!
Nina is such a beautiful pup! I love dogs and especially labs. You have such a gift with animals.
It’s so fun to see these photos after following The Sweetest Occasion & Cyd’s tweets for awhile now. What special moments you have captured for Cyd!
I love labs. So beautiful. I especially love the top shot of them standing on the dock. Gorgeous.

love the black and white shot of the dogs nose with Cyd’s hands.
Sweet! :) Love the second one so so much!
Wow, Nina and Cyd are both gorgeous … Nina looks very loved!
These are SOO sweet. You can clearly see how much Cyd loves Nina!
Ahhhh! These are so so great. That dog. She kills me she is so adorable and these shots just capture everything I love about her. Thank you thank you thank you! Mike is going to love these, too. xoxo
Wow. That last image is amazing.

Stephanie looks so cute in these photographs. I checked out her website and she has some beautiful events there!
My beautiful niece Abby had her High School Senior Ball about a week ago. I can’t believe she is getting ready to graduate and go on to college. So glad Beth and I could be there to photograph some portraits of her and her friends. This is by far my favorite of the evening… Isn’t...

Such a great group of people :)
So much fun, thanks for being there and taking pictures!
Here is a cute little photo of Erin, Matt, and their cats. Sushi is the darker orange cat, and that big boy walking out of the frame is her son d’Artagnan. I confess when Erin and Matt told me d’Artagnan’s name I knew it sounded familiar but it I didn’t recall what the name referenced…...

Love this session…..great idea and perfectly executed. The B&W’s are beautiful!
So beautiful! And I just love your site and blog – so simple and clean!
The first black and white one with the mirror in the background is my favorite, but it was very hard to select only one favorite. What a good looking couple!!! Absolutely stunning bride, and one heck of a handsome groom!
Oh- I am so excited and delighted to see them :) My favorites are the black/white ones. I can’t wait to see Part 2 and I’m excited for the wedding! THANK you Alice and Beth!!

I love this shot! Very creative. I love the vintage/modern feel.
I’ve been living in Central New York for two and half years, but there are still so many hidden treasures that I crave to explore. A couple of weeks ago, I had the delightful opportunity to drive to a little gem of town called Moravia. This is where Beth and I were fortunate enough to...

Just look at the way he looks at her… so smitten!
I had a fantastic Easter Sunday, and was in charge of cooking dinner for ten… yes, you read that right. I’m delighted to say that it all turned out great. Even though, my team lost a couple of rounds of the fast pace game of catch phrase, I couldn’t have been happier to be spending...

This is so fun and makes me really excited for Spring :)
Love these! Especially all of the close ups of the details. That peacock feather is insane!!
mmmm — loving the fresh colors of the Center Display! And nice touch with the artichokes :-)))

Looks great Alice. I just love it when I get to work with Nino and his crew.
Awesome photos! I just love Nino and his little creations! One of my favorites!!
GOOOORGEEEOUUSSSSSSSSSSSS! Can’t believe this is in fayetteville! Great job :o)
Spring officially sprung this weekend… yay! After living in California for so many years, the drastic changes with each season of upstate New York have me in a constant state of amazement. With spring, I find so much inspiration from the warming weather, small flowers pushing through the once frozen ground, and sights of feathered...

Wonderful images. She is precious.
Super cute shoot!
Love the straight on shot!
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!!!!

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!
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.
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! ...

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
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...

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
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...

art + memories + something you can touch = WOW
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…..
