The Mega Post-4 Year Old Lily

What can I say, I just had the hardest time narrowing down the images to show to you, therefor this is now titled the "Mega Post". 4 year old Lily is just so stinkin' cute. She was a great model for me and as she got comfortable in front of the camera, you could see her smile really shine. I was also very jealous of her clothes! Swear if I can find them in my size....
Hope you enjoy the images of Lily as much as I enjoyed taken them. This little girl is going to break lots of hearts in the years to come!

Fabulous Friends

i just had to post a few images of my session with two fantastic friends, Leah and Jeff. Leah has been my close friend for more years than I can count, she has been there for me in times of joy and sadness, and I have been honored to watch her fall love and marry a wonderful man, Jeff. Leah is pursing a part time career in photography as well, so we got together do some shooting recently. I LOVE the two images below that I captured of them. I feel like you can reach out and feel the passion these two have for each other.

Brock-An Early Christmas Gift

Welcome Brock! Brock was born a few weeks ago and is such a little peanut. What a great early Christmas gift for his parents. He was a joy to photograph today and I enjoyed meeting his parents, Annie and Pete. They are wonderful parents, Brock is so loved and cherished. His dad is tall so Brock has lots of growing to do to catch up!
Annie & Pete, I had a great time photographing your family today and hope you enjoy the sneek peek!

Official Introduction

This morning I felt it was important to make a very important introduction of the newest member of Cider Press Studios and the Feldman Family. Baby Feldman is now 20 weeks and half way to being here. We can't wait to meet this little one in March. Myles is really excited to be a big brother and we can't wait to see his helpful personality at work. We know this baby will be loved by all and especially by it's Mom, Dad, and big Brother.

Cider Press Studios Mini Sessions

Last weekend, I hosted the first ever Cider Press Studios Mini Sessions. I wasn't sure what to expect as this is the first one I have ever held, but I have to say, it was a great success. I got to meet new families, connect with old friends, and see some of my favorite clients again. I had so much fun and the weather cooperated for us. This is sure to be a yearly event for Cider Press Studios.
Thank you to all the families that participated. I enjoyed capturing your family and hope you enjoy your images for years to come!

Tamburo Family

I have known the Tamburo family for a number of years now and on Sunday we met up for a family session. Following around 19 month old Dominick was a lot of fun. He is a bundle of energy and just like most little boys, had his own agenda! We still got some great images of both Dominick and the entire family.
Jen, thanks for letting me capture your family, I hope you enjoy the images.
