This was suppose to be posted before I was away for a long weekend, but since it didn’t make it these previews will start off today. Last week I shot several portrait sessions and documented the lives (and new lives) of some wonderful people. Gabriella’s newborn session took place at my house, which allowed me to easily set up and she is an adorable baby. The family session shot below at Oak Hill Country Club had some great outtakes like the one below.
For the third time I was able to photograph Henri and he’s just over one year old – it’s been fun to see him grow up so much from past sessions. 
Michelle + Ben’s before the baby session was fabulous and so fun to spend some time with them in Rochester (thanks for coming down!) They are excited to become parents and I’m so happy for them. 
There’s full posts from these sessions to come so look for them soon! I just had a great weekend in the Adirondacks and even though it was just a long weekend of vacation it felt like vacation (almost) every minute. We were able to go out for a long paddle – for me – since I’m new to the whole canoeing for distance thing; get up early and watch Ironman Lake Placid, ride 50 miles along the bike course to see the race in action and cheer in finishers after seeing the pro’s come across the line; and enjoy some fabulous food none of which we had to cook ourselves! Oh and the bad food choice I was speaking of on twitter? That was “Josh’s Fire Fish” which is basically fish+chips but with buffalo wing sauce on the fish. I know, sounds crazy but after my long bike ride I was starving and I went for it… and it was pretty good.
