Today is Labor Day. The official end of Summer. Where has summer gone? Already the weather has been noticeably cooler, the days shorter and the sun more sparse.
This past week was a busy one. One which saw me searching for a cure for one of he worst headaches I have had in some time.
We drove to Alfred University this past Saturday and watched Kujo play in his first college football game. AU played Widener University. AU handily won the contest with a score of 37-0. Kujo started special teams and play the last 10-minutes of the 4th quarter at his position, linebacker. That 10-minutes should have been enough to get the coaches to take notice as he registered one-solo tackle and three assisted tackles. He also forced one-fumble and recovered another fumble. I keep reminding him he’ll be starting that position before long.
Jack and I snapped the following two photos while out on our walk Sunday morning.

A couple of photos from Bond’s Lake Park outside Lewiston, NY.

My brother drove up from Pittsburgh with his two boys. This is his oldest son Ian who turns seven on Wednesday. Ian is normally very shy and any photos as he hides behind his father proves to be very difficult. I’m unsure what was different at this time but he just couldn’t stop getting himself in front of the camera. This is one of my favorites from this shoot. Happy Birthday Ian.
Sunday was also my mother-in-laws 80th birthday. Happy Birthday Ma.
What a busy but enjoyable week and long holiday weekend to boot.
Thanks for reading. I truly appreciate all of my new readers who have signed up for RSS feeds.

Jamie’s ruby slippers.
I love when I can find a suitable location to do an outdoor dress shot.
I loved the detail on Jamie’s dress.
Jamie did her own makeup and did a wonderful job.

That’s all for now. I’ll post more from this couple’s ceremony later.
I love to take Jack for a walk by the Niagara River. As you already know my camera is never left behind. I grabbed several of an awesome sunset with my trusty point and shoot.
Here’s a sneak peak from Ronda and Mike’s Trash the Dress shoot. I love showing these photos locally and discussing Trash the Dress in Western New York. I get the strangest looks and people say things like, “What? Are they crazy?” I love the concept. I think there are far too many things we hold on to and never use or see again. Send me an email with your thoughts and opinions. maybe I’ll include them in a blog post about Trash the Dress shoots and their place in wedding and portrait photography.
This one was from the beginning of the shoot.
