Wendy Mitchell Photography

Sorry it’s only one for now, but I thought you’d want to see:

P.S. Here is one of each of the kids:

Meet the Watkins family! I first met them back in October 2008 when Wendy had me come to their house for family photos with the fall foliage. I hadn’t heard from them again til just last week when I got the call that they wanted me to come out again. Wendy is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and wanted to make sure she got some photos done before her hair is gone. It was about the shortest notice I’ve ever had before a family shoot, but the timing worked out great! This time I met them at a barn in East Aurora where their daughter takes riding lessons – and I got to photograph not only their family, but the other girls who were riding there that evening as well!

Here’s a taste of the riding:

And here’s the Watkins family:

Today I reconnected with Danielle, whose wedding I photographed back in 2007. Her son just turned two yesterday, so I met them down at the Knox Farm in East Aurora (I brought the balloons, she brought the cupcake cones) to do a shoot with her little man, Ty! I didn’t want her to have to wait the whole weekend to see pictures, so here is a sneak peek of two before I leave for my 1,000 Islands wedding…

I was contacted by Jen to do a family photo while she and her siblings and their families were all in the area. I was a little nervous about taking on a group of this size right in the middle of my busy wedding season, but the shoot went great and everyone was very well-behaved! Thanks guys!

I’m glad the Japanese Gardens exist to be such a perfect setting for a session like this! I’m happy the weather was gorgeous and this worked out great!
