Zoe Jane Laffler

Posted in Kids | Zoe (my daughter) ok, lemme see the bye bye 5 comments

Yesterday my daughter Zoe asked me to take her photograph. For those of you that know me, you know this isn’t a simple task! I had to get out the light stands, umbrellas, flashes, camera, the backdrop (which Zoe calls a parachute), and everything else. After it took me about 20 minutes to set everything up, Zoe was no longer interested in having her picture taken! What do you expect from an almost 3 year old?! So, I begged and pleaded with her to sit for me for at least a few shots, after all it was HER idea! I may or may not have even offered an ice cream sundae with the works if she cooperated! Well, she did manage to sit for me for a few shots and I did like the way they turned out, so decided to post two of them to share with you.

I know I am biased, but isn’t she adorable?

Winter House

Posted in Personal Work No comments

Well, it’s sort of a family tradition that the day after Thanksgiving we head up to my in-laws winter house in Pennsylvania for some quality family time and a little rest and relaxtion. This year we brought along my niece Arianna with us. My daughter Zoe and her cousin Arianna had a blast together. They even slept in the same room together! Arianna slept in the top bunk and of course little Zoe got the bottom bunk! We had so much fun eating Thanksgiving left overs, sitting by the fire and roasting chestnuts, watching movies, and of course feeding the deer too! We also had a great time by the lake.

Arianna is such a good cousin to Zoe. Here she is making sure Zoe doesn’t get too close to the ice.

Smoking is bad for you, everyone knows that! I guess no one bothered to tell Ray!

Nicky

Posted in Kids ok, lemme see the bye bye 8 comments

Today I had the pleasure of photographing my daughter’s good friend Nicky from down the street. He was such a great subject to work with. He enjoyed throwing his minature football and then proclaiming “touch down!”. He’s also a big Thomas the Tank Engine fan too, as you will see. I had fun today Nicky, I’ll see you around the hood little man.

This was one of my favorites of the day.

I caught this shot of Nicky holding his Thomas sipper while driving over to the park.

Here’s Nicky watching a little TV before we got started.

I like this one a lot too.

Sarah + Ben

Posted in Kids ok, lemme see the bye bye 2 comments

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah and her little brother Ben. We had some fun adventures roaming around the arboretum in
Summit. Sarah enjoyed taking the paths through the woods and little Ben was rather attached to his blue ball. Sarah and Ben’s parents,
Brenda and Chris, got in on the act as well, showing up in some photos from time to time while playing with their kids. What a fun
family. Thanks guys!

I love this shot of Ben getting ready to stand up and take on the “balance beam”.

Olivia + Sophia

Posted in Kids ok, lemme see the bye bye 1 comment

This was my third time photographing Olivia and Sophia. I know it’s a cliche, but they do grow up fast! Once we cleared all the spider
webs away from their new swing set, it was play time! The girls had fun on the swings and the “speed” slide. It really was fast! Thanks
for another fun session ladies.
_
Sophia was kind enough to give big sister a push on the swings…

_
and then Olivia returned the favor!

_
I love this shot of them walking by the fence in their back yard. (I think it needs to be seen HUGE to really appreciate though)

I love this one!

Kara + Patrick

Posted in *Weddings ok, lemme see the bye bye 2 comments

I was helping out my fellow wedding photographer and friend Veronica from VeroFoto on this one. I could tell this was going to be a beautiful wedding when I pulled into New Hope Pennsylvania. Everything had a quaint, old world charm about it. And speaking of old, Patrick’s suit was a vintage one from the 1940’s! Kara was not to be out done however, her dress was drop dead gorgeous, as was she. The best part of the day was working with Kara and Patrick. I think the following photographs are a direct result of having three things working in harmony; a willing couple who are obviously in love, a beautiful venue, and the time to make them. The ceremony and reception were held at the Hollyhedge Estate in Pennsylvania. Congratulations Kara and Patrick!
