Autumn and Bryan

Here are a few from an engagement session i did for a couple who's wedding is coming up on August 1st. I have known these two since they were young and it's so special to see them so happy with each other! I wish them the very best of everything as they begin their life together as husband and wife! Can't wait to take their wedding pictures!! Here are a few from our session out in Mingo park, in Washington County (I just LOVE that park!!!)

Thanks Bryan and Autumn! See you August 1st!!!

Jennifer and Jonathan

As I mentioned in previous posts... May was a crazy month for weddings!!

The last one was on May 30, 2009~~ Jenny & Jon! What a great time! The day was beautiful for an outdoor wedding!

The bride was beautiful and I think smiled the biggest smile i have ever seen the whole entire day!!! These are in final edits now... but i wanted to post a few for the bride and groom... so they didn't think i "closed up and left town" (sorry guys... I just HAD to!! LOL)

You will love them!! Here are a few of my favorites so far....

A few on Pizza night

My girlfriend Missy invited us over the other night for pizza and catch up time... life seems to fly by and we just never get to see each other that much anymore!!! AND--her and Mike are expecting their second baby in a few weeks...so we thought we would try and get some pictures of Drew (their almost 2 year old) kissing her belly. We tried.

Lesson learned= pictures BEFORE pizza... but it was fun none the less.

I wanted to post a few of these because Drew has the sweetest, most beautiful baby blue eyes i've ever seen! These pictures are STRAIGHT out of the camera... no adjustments made! I hope the coloring on here comes through because sometimes when i post pictures on this blog they drain of color... so we'll see!!!

Can't wait to see Baby Welhorsky #2 through the lens!!!!!

Yeah, the color just isn't the same on here... Darn...

Like i said... we tried! 8)
Their doggies: Jinny & Jersey... I can't tell them apart... no matter how hard i try...

Damien the lil stinker!

I was just thinking the other day about the statistics on the number of brides and grooms that get pregnant RIGHT after I photograph their wedding! LOL... seems to be a pretty high percentage... I'm just saying!! But-- good for me because it gives me an opportunity for "repeat customers" and a chance to practice my favorite type of photography--NEWBORN!!!!

So last fall I photographed Jessica and Marc's wedding... and I was so excited when she called to let me know the lil man was on his way and that she wanted some newborn pictures.

He was so much fun (as I think i say for every newborn I photograph... mainly because I get to hold them!!!!) but he was just not too happy with his modeling contract as he decided "sleeping baby pictures" were not his style... So we made the best of it!!!

Here are my favorites...

THE VERY BEST ONE of the whole session... what a priceless face... lil stinker!!!!

Thanks Marc & Jess!!!!!

Baby Oh Baby!!!

As promised... here are the newborn shots of Aubrey Joy Arabia!! Caleb and Carter have a new baby sister! She was just too much fun to take pictures of!

I am so happy for Missy and Chris as they adjust to life with their new little girl (and not to mention just ONE Newborn instead of TWO!!) Here are a few of my favorites from her session!!

Little Ethan the "Dirtbag"

I wanted to put a few of these up...  This is one of my "kids" in my life, Ethan Shober.  It just seems like yesterday that he was born...  I went to one of his games for his traveling baseball team, The Dirtbags and took a few shots of the "rock star" baseball player.  He is just too good!!!   

Holly & Jeff McGovern

Holly & Jeff, May 23rd, 2009.  

This wedding was my second one in May.  It took me all the way to Mahwah New Jersey (right outside of New York City!!)  The wedding was on a golf course at Appleridge Country Club.  From the course (on the 9th hole, i think) you could actually see the city skyline of NYC!  It was a hazy day though, so i didn't get that lucky with my shots. It was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding and it was so much fun!!!   Here are a few of my favorites from the day....
