SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Spring was definitely in the air yesterday. The weather was amazing. I hope everyone got to enjoy the outdoors at some point! After the weekends Spring sessions and editing like crazy to deliver everyone's images by Monday, Neal and I enjoyed the day off and the weather!

Here is another gorgeous image from the Spring/Easter sessions at Neal Urban Studio. I love these girls! They were so cute! In between set changes, there was a lot of twirling! Well, I was twirling and Neal was moving the props.

This is one of our favorites from this session. Look at those smiles! And I loved their dresses. We didn't use that many props for this image. We kept it clean and neat. The vintage bike was perfect! All eyes on those cuties!

SPRING TIME WITH ZOE!

Happy Monday! Meet Zoe! Can she be any cuter!? Zoe and family came to Neal Urban Studio for the Spring/Easter Sessions over the weekend.

Let's just say, this shoot turned into being all about Zoe! We started with some basic family portraits. We had a few outfit changes(for Zoe) and ended on a "doggy" cake smash. Zoe's birthday is coming up, so we had to celebrate with her. I can't get over that headband and tutu! There was no shortage of headbands and jewelry to choose from for this gal! (Her accessory bag was a giant tote)

This was the first image in the cake smash part of the shoot. She wasn't too sure about the cake(if you couldn't tell by her face). I love how Zoe is just staring at the cake. Her expression was so cute in this image, we had to share it!

And don't worry, you will be seeing more of Zoe!

SPRING PORTRAIT

I wanted to post one more image from Gabby(that's just one of the nick names she has) and Wendy's Spring shoot at Neal Urban Studio.

We were not planning on using the blue couch for the Spring shoots. But, Gabby is a King Charles Spaniel and it seemed fitting to bring it in for a picture. And she even has her own portrait on the wall. What royalty! Fit for a Queen! In this case, 2!

I love the interaction between Gabby and Wendy. Gabby just loves to be with people and loves attention. I mean, look at that face. How can you not want to snuggle!

FITNESS SERIES

So..... It's Wednesday. Middle of the week and I am sure everyone can't wait for the weekend. Today's images are from a personal project Neal wanted to do. Time to let the creativity flow! Neal had a fun fitness shoot idea he wanted to do. It ended up turning into a series of images!

The amazing Anna and Jordan! Look at those bodies! (I think I need to work out with Anna).Even though it was a photo shoot, they were still motivating Neal and I to stay fit. And in a really fun way. What an awesome couple to photograph. We had so much fun with them. They kept us laughing the entire shoot! 

We take you to a private residence, old school, personal gym! It was the perfect location for this shoot. I mean, come on. A Bowflex! Do people really still use those? A Gold's Gym workout poster! Anna and Jordan loved it! They even got a mini workout in!

For Neal, personal projects are always a must. It's a way to free the brain from stress and just let the creative ideas flow. It's not often we get to do things like this either. I am so happy that Neal's vision came to life! And we had so much fun creating it!

TIME OUT SHOT!

We are back with Gabby and this time Neal at Neal Urban Studio!

This was definitely a time out moment for the shoot. Gabby just loves Neal and he can't get enough of her! Neal was shooting Gabby in the set. All of a sudden, Gabby strolled on over and jumped into Neal's lap. This is pretty normal when we are all together.

I told Neal not to move and grabbed the camera from him. It's not often that you see Neal or I in a photo. It was only right to capture this!

MISS GABBY & WENDY!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Meet Gabriella Elizabeth and Wendy!

They came to visit us at Neal Urban Studio for the Spring/Easter Minis! This shoot is very special to us as Wendy is Neal's mom! Owner of Let's Do Wine and Buffalo BrewShop! Home brewers and wine makers, go check it out!

I love this image! A little back story about the rockers. The small chair belonged to my father when he was little and was passed onto my brother. Then I took it for the studio hahah! The large rocker belonged to my Nani! I asked if we could have it. We have a whole family affair going on in this photo!

Gabby is the sweetest dog ever. She is so mellow. In between photos, she jumped off the rocker for belly rubs. She loves them! A belly rub = take 5!

As we mentioned before, there are so many things we can do for these Spring/Easter Mini Sessions. You will love the images! Contact us to try and snag one of the last spots!

SPRING SHOOT FUN!

Meet the Allen children! Aren't they the cutest?! They came to Neal Urban Studio over the weekend for the Spring/Easter Mini Sessions.

They were such well behaved kids. They listened so well, that we got to do so many different combinations with the set for them. I absolutely loved their outfits too! They went perfect with the set. Pretty much all color combos and patterns go with this set. The Allen kids are definitely ready for Spring! I also think they are ready to start their modeling careers!

We have just a few slots left for the Spring/Easter Mini's! Contact us today to grab a spot! You will be so happy you did!

ALLEGANY STATE PARK BRIDE

Jennie is back! Jennie and Brock were also married back in June. We travelled to Allegany State Park for their wedding!

Another gorgeous day! A little hot, but great weather! For portraits, Jennie and Brock had picked out a few locations they wanted to stop at before arriving to their reception (which was also in the Park). This was nice because the Park is massive and goes through NY and PA. We were closer to the PA side.

This location had a nice open area. The light was shining in through the trees. We put Jennie right in the middle of some tall grass. She was nice and tall too, so she didn't get lost in the grass. A nice warm glow is cast on her. 

I love her reaction in this image. We got a great smile, but sort of mid laugh. Love the natural reaction! Did I mentions Brock was really really funny?

THE WEDDING PARTY!

I hope everyone is staying warm and safe on this snowy Tuesday. If you have a snow day, enjoy it! 

Here is one last image from Frank and Amanda's wedding I shot back in June. The wedding party! After taking some photos over at Delaware Park,we went across the street to the Buffalo Japanese Gardens for a few quick shots before the reception at the Foundry Suites.

Luck was still on our side at the Gardens. For a June wedding, we thought it would be crawling with other weddings. Not one in sight! Yay for us! Frank and Amanda wanted a nice and simple photo on the stairs. Perfect! We did a nice smile for the camera photo. Great for the wedding album!

THE GUYS!

And now Frank and his guys!

Same location as the ladies at the Albright Knox Art Gallery. But, we decided to use the stairs instead. A bit less bright and airy. The guys were just as much fun to photograph as the ladies. A great wedding party! The guys had me laughing the whole day. It was actually a little tough to get them to give a serious face for a photo. As you can tell from the groomsmen on the left. He still has a giant smile. I love it! And look how fun their glasses are.

Frank got into "model" mode haha. Once again I didn't have to tell him how to pose. I think he practiced before the wedding!
