2014 Favorites

So my thinking was that I would narrow my 2014 favorites to just 14.  It's impossible!  I had so many great clients and so many great sessions that it just wasn't possible.  So, here they are my top 21 favorites from the year!!!

This sweet baby boy has been having his photos taken since day 1!  LITERALLY, I went to the hospital the day he was born!  It was just too cute and irresistible, when, totally on his own, he went head first into the cake!

This is one of my very best friends.  We have been friends since 7th grade. Oh the stories I can tell you about her :D  I always look forward to a trip home to allow our kids time to play together and to just catch up with one of my oldest friends.  

I took this picture as part of a Mother's Day series I was offering.  It's ranks as one of my favorite pics of the year!  I just love the colors!

I was given the opportunity this year to visit with No Dress Code Studios and the owners, Roman and Kristen Glass.  They are hands down, some of the coolest and nicest people I know!

This sweet baby girl turned one this year and mom and dad elected for a smash cake and bath time session.  Her expressions were too cute and I'm so glad I got this adorable face!

This was one of my very first engagement sessions.  I just loved this pose.  

I just loved how Ryan's pictures turned out.  I LOVE photographing seniors!  They are so easy and willing to do whatever!

Reed's mom wanted a baseball session, and a baseball session is what she got.  Shooting at locations in Erie is easier than I had imagined.  The people and businesses of Erie have been very kind in letting me in to photograph families at their locations.  This was taken at Jerry Uht Park!  They even did a short video piece on Reed to show during games.  He's a SUPERSTAR!

Another generous business that was kind enough to let us in was Jay's Auto in Edinboro.  I had a vision for this session and I love the way in turned out.  These girls were such fun and complete naturals!

Reed frequently models for me :D  This was a before and after taken for the family because they were chosen as the March Of Dimes Ambassador Family!

I had so much fun at this session when Jordan took me to her family farm.  Though her family no longer owned the farm, the new owners gave us permission to come to the property and take pictures.  It was fun to hear her and her mom reminisce!

HELLLLLO Fashion Diva!  Gia was a dream to shoot, and obviously fashionable too!  

Hands down my favorite sibling shot of the year!  This just makes me gush!

It's clear to see the love in this photo.  I love when the love translates to the photo.  That's what it's all about.

My friend asked me to capture a nursing session for her and since I'd never done one, I thought, why not?  These next few are from the session.  I absolutely LOVE how they turned out!

These next few pictures were taken at a Winery in NY.  The family took me along to capture their family.  These two families are super close and wanted to have the memories of their family bond.  Yes, that's the sweet baby who was putting his face in the cake, yes, that's our superstar Reed, the baseball player, and yes, those are the gorgeous junkyard ballerinas.

Is this not the cutest couple?  Maybe I'm biased?  This is my cousin and his adorable wife, expecting their first child, a boy in March!

So, that's it for my 2014 favorites, BUT, I didn't include any of my own children.  I can't very well leave them out, can ?  So, my next post is coming and in it I'll include my daily life as a 

mom-tographer.
