"Show of the Dress" Bridal Portraits

Not long ago I had the fortune to take portraits of a few recent brides in their wedding dresses. This is a fairly new concept with wedding photographers and it's usually called "Trash the Dress". I don't really care for that title because we're not going out to "trash" the dress. We are just going to go to places we may not go and pose in ways that we might not on the wedding day. It could be something like sitting in the grass...a big no-no on the wedding day...or posing in non-traditional ways. This allows for me to capture many beautiful portraits of the bride in her dress to have and share. You paid a lot for it, might as well Show it Off!

Here are just a few samples. There are many more on my Facebook page.

Tenney Family Portraits

A few weeks ago I photographed a wonderful bunch of siblings. 4 kids from 10 years down to 6 months old along with their dog Baloo was quite a challenge. But with the help of a great assistant we pulled it off. The oldest son has Cerebral Palsey and was a delight to work with. All of the kids were full of energy and we had a great time. I put together a few montages that Mom was pretty happy with. My favorites are the baby portraits. She was such a cutie!

Amber Senior Portraits

Wow, it's been a LONG time since I posted. I told you all I wouldn't be able to catch up! Kenna is now 19 months old and a busy, busy bee. She is always on the go and wants to "wok" everywhere. Her talking and learning new words is making life so much fun and interesting for us right now. You never know what she's going to say next! So needless to say, I barely have much time to do anything extra. I have been doing alot of family pictures and this past Saturday started my busy wedding season. I will try to post a few of those pictures in a couple weeks.

I did have the pleasure recently of taking senior portraits of Amber who is a senior at Cambridge Springs. I took some outdoor portraits back in the fall but she wanted more with an inside studio look. So here are a few what what we got.

St. Patrick's Day Pictures

Wow, has it been a long time since I have posted! I have been enjoying some down time, taking a few weekend trips (including a ski tip to NY, Woohoo!), as well as dealing with some sickness in the fam (not fun).

So, St. Patrick's Day has always been a big deal in our family. There isn't an ounce of Irish blood in us...well, I guess now my daughter has some from daddy. But it happens to be my mom's birthday. So we have always enjoyed putting our our green hats and buttons and going out. Now it's fun to do the same with Kenna.

It's also been awhile since I have successfully been able to get a decent picture of her. Ever since she started walking she does not stay in one spot very long! We tried again yesterday and I finally got a few nice ones to post. My favorites are the pictures of her making goofy faces and sticking out her tongue. She's such a ham!

Custom Portrait Jewelry & Photo Handbags

I'm not sure if many of people know that I offer some really unique portrait specialty items. If you've seen me walking around in the past year or so you may have seen my purse with my beautiful daughter's face on it. The portrait handbags and necklaces that I offer are so great that I personally use and wear them on a daily basis.

Carrying and sharing memories of those people that are important to you, your loved ones and friends, makes you stand out in a crowd. Memories are unique for each and every person. There are many designer bags and types to choose from including a bucket bag, wallet, clutch, tote bag, diaper bag, backpack, cosmetic bag, laptop bag,and much more! Why not create a special bag or necklace that fits and expresses your memories perfectly?

Here a few pictures of some of the handbags and jewelry I have had created for myself and my clients.

Nate, Hillary, & Wyatt's Family Pictures

Right before Christmas I photographed my friends Nate & Hillary and their 2 month old baby boy, Wyatt. These guys will always have a place in my heart because they had to leave early from a party we had because pregnant Hillary was "not feeling well". The next day we got a text message with a picture of them holding their baby boy!


They are such a beautiful family and I got to capture some really neat, intimate moments for them. As well as taking family pictures, Hillary was open to me photographing her nursing Wyatt. I have some breast feeding pictures of me with my daughter and they are some of my favorite photographs we have of us. The bond between mom and baby is the strongest and I love capturing that. We also created some close moments with all three of them they will cherish. Thanks guys!


Wyatt has a full head of beautiful red hair and is so stinkin cute! I've included here his birth announcement card that we created together. I have a variety of 4x8 and 5x7 photo greeting cards as well as folded cards available for announcements, thank you cards, invitations, holiday cards, and much more. All of the cards come with envelopes and are ready to mail to your family and friends. :)
