I know all remember Jessica & Alan they are 2008 Elario veteran’s. Well today I wanted to share more of them with you only this time its theres a new addition. The new addition is Aidan! He’s just a tiny little guy who when we shot this last week was only 1 month old. I love photographing newborns, especially when there are past bride & grooms of ours. Thats the ultimate compliment when someone has you back to take more photos. I just love Jessica & Alan too, really they are one of the nicest couples of all time. So without further ado here’s little Aidan.

Peace,

First comes love…

then comes marriage…

then comes Aidan… he was sleeping peacefully when I arrived.

Then we woke him up. Look at his furry little back.

I really think this might be one of my fav’s from the whole session.

A couple with Dad.

And now Mom.

A family shot.

Another one..

New baby rooms are always so visual.

And then Aidan decided it was time for me to leave as he closes his eyes. Happy Memorial Day everyone!

I’d like to introduce you all to my newest blog stalker Lily. Nah I’m sure she has no clue what a blog is and by the time she’s an average brides age I wonder if we’ll still be blogging. Anyway Lily’s mom Stephanie apparently is a blog stalker and her girlfriends got together and bought her this awesome session as a baby shower gift. How cool are her friends? I know you all wish you had friends that were that cool huh? So just this morning Stephanie an Dan welcomed me into their beautiful home and had this adorable little baby waiting to be photographed. I’m totally thrilled with the collection of images I got for them. Little Lily is a beautiful baby and I enjoyed meeting her, Stephanie and Dan. Congrats to you guys!

Peace,
JP

Lily’s room is awesome. These babies rooms keep getting better I tell you.

Little wrinkly feet.

I thought this was an interesting angle and composition.

Stephanie is ridiculously photogenic huh?

One of the family. I just love new families.

I caught Lily giving the old one eye snoop.

How awesome is this?

Precious.

Stephanie and Dan have a lot of b&w’s on their walls I imagine these hanging among the others. Thanks again guys, great shoot!

Last week I had the honor to hook up and photograph one of our all time favorite couples with their young and good looking children. Sara and Ross got married way back in 2004 when at the time the song “Lean Back” by Fat Joe was at the top of the charts. I’ll never forget this moment at their wedding which was at Wolferts Roost. The DJ had a packed dance floor and all you hear is Lil John go “Stop! It’s the remix, What!” Then boom, the party went from level 10 to 20. I know Al’s gotta have this video clip somewhere, shoot even he leaned back. Anyway it was just one of those moments at a wedding that sticks with you forever. Cut to late 2006 or early 2007 and along came their daughter Selma who when she had no or very little hair looked just like Ross. Now Selma is growing up and as I sifted through these images could see more and more of Sara in her. Not to worry Ross got his clone back, 11 months ago the lil man Rowan was born and Selma, Sara & Ross had a new bundle of joy in their world. So finally we all were able to get together and make some nice images. What a good looking family too! I just had a great time photographing them all. To those of you who may or may not know Ross, he’s just one hell of a guy and quite the baller, and Sara aside from being a great person all around is just so beautiful and photogenic. It makes me smile after almost 6 years to see who I call the “Jay-Z & Beyonce of Albany” ;) still “Crazy in Love”. After all they did enter their reception to that song (and so did we). How do I remember this stuff? On with the post!

Peace,

September 4, 2004… the beginning.

Still looking great 6 years later despite the windy evening we had.

One of my fav’s from the session. I love a classic b&w.

Little Miss Selma, she know’s how to pose.

I love the mini RL shirt. This kids got style and thats no surprise.

The color is just sick in this image.

Uh oh. Look at that pose. She’s so pretty.

Fact: Sara & Ross always have a nice timepiece on.

I singlehandedly blame Ross for my Panerai obsession that started in 2006. If it wasn’t for him showing me that watch I’d have a few more dollars in my pocket. Watch out Ross, looks like Rowan wants it.

Did you know that Rowan made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can?

Selma is just so pretty and photogenic. Can you stand it?

Sara & Ross, thanks so much. Your family is gorgeous! Great seeing you……..

I’m sure you all remember Kathleen & Kevin from 2008. Well I had the opportunity to catch up with them along with their 8 week old baby boy Liam. We shot a quick little session in Albany’s Washington Park. This little guy’s super cute and did really well while braving the cold and the wind at his young age. It’s always flattering when previous clients have you back to photograph their new additions! Thanks Kathleen & Kevin, it was great seeing you both and congrats!

Peace,
JP

Just one of my fav images from their September 2008 wedding…

This is easily my fav from the whole shoot. The color and his expression are just awesome!

Oliver came along for the shoot.. Doesnt he look like an Oliver?

How cute is he? I love that little sweater vest.

The fam!

Kathleen thought it would be cute to put him in a little basket. Liam, not feeling it much.

But Kevin thought it would be cute to Yankee it up along with a baseball glove. Liam liked this much more. Also he’s sticking his tongue out to all the Red Sox fans!
