GUYS AT TIFT NATURE PRESERVE

Late post on a Monday. We were out of town and the internet decided not to work so well this morning. So, here we are now!

Here are Matthew and his guys at Tifft Nature Preserve. So, for the guys we needed to find a spot that was a little more manly than the Preserve. Lucky for us, there is an overpass that leads into the area. Neal took the guys "under the overpass" to take advantage of the stone work. He had the guys all stand casually, but with a serious face. They did a great job with the serious look too. Most people start laughing when we ask for no smiles (which is not often). They nailed it. I love the little guy and his pose is perfect!

MATERNITY AT TIFT NATURE PRESERVE

Last week you saw Natalie and her sister Nellie in a photo pregnant together. I did say, I would post Natalie and her husband Joe soon. Here it is and it is absolutely beautiful!

We ended Natalie and Joe's maternity session at Tift Nature Preserve in Buffalo. The sun was beginning to set and lighting was beautiful. We were up on top of the small hill that is on the Preserve. We had Joe sneak in behind Natalie and had both of them put their hands on Natalie's belly! Joe leaned in nice and close to his amazing wife! The sun was going down and casting some great colors in the sky. It was the perfect spot and we didn't want to stop taking photos!

Now we patiently await for the arrival of the baby to take newborn photos!

SISTER...PREGNANT...SISTER!

Sister and sister pregnant together!! (say this in a Martin Short voice from Father of the Bride Part 2. If you saw this movie, you know what I am talking about!)! Natalie and Joe (we did their wedding photos as well) are expecting their first child. Natalie's sister, Nellie is also expecting and their due dates are pretty close.

Natalie had asked if her sister could join us for a few shots during their maternity session! Sure thing! We started the shoot at Gallagher Pier on the Buffalo Outer Harbor. We got some great shots by the pier with Natalie and Joe and their dogs as well. It was extremely windy, so we moved on to Tift Nature Preserve down the road.

Neal already had a shot in mind for Natalie and Nellie. After having them walk up a hill (according to Nellie it was quite a hike haha), we asked them to stand back to back and hold their bellies. The light was beautiful and they were both glowing. They had matching outfits too, so it worked out even better! After the posed shots were done we were all talking and joking, Natalie and Nellie were laughing and Neal caught this natural image. The photo turned out beauitful! Natalie and Nellie looked amazing!

And don't worry Joe, you will be up in a few days with your beautiful wife. It's not everyday we get sisters pregnant together!

WINDY DAY AT TIFT NATURE PRESERVE!

Jamie and Gavin got married in August of 2012! It was such a great wedding! They were awesome. This was my favorite image that I took from their portrait session.

We started photos at Delaware Park and then headed to Tift Nature Preserve where this was taken. The wedding party was sent back to the limo to party and it was time for Jamie and Gavin! Neal had actually set up the couple for a wider angle shot from where he was standing. I decided to shoot up close from a different angle. Right when I saw the wind take her dress, I knew I had a great angle. I did interrupt Neal for a minute and had Jamie glance down my way and had Gavin go in for a kiss on the neck. It was beautiful!

Neal and I work great together. We both help each other out. And we have no problem interrupting each other or changing something up for an amazing shot!

As a blog exclusive Neal edited this image differently. It was always in a horizontal crop and in B&W. For the blog he left it in the original vertical crop and left it in color. Even if we blog about images that have been seen before, we'll try and mix it up so you always have something new to look at here on the blog.
