Wow! What a great family session out at Chestnut Ridge Park with Kelly, Adam and Lucas!

Kelly signed up to win a free session with AHP at a Baby Expo she attended and she won! We had such a great time! They played in the leaves and enjoyed some family fun time together.

Adam traveled up from Virginia, my home state, where they had lived for the last couple of years. Now they are relocating back to Buffalo to be near family again.

It was a beautiful typical fall morning in good ole' Buffalo, NY. Just the right amount of wind to make you chilly, but not uncomfortable.  The leaves were beautiful shades of yellows, oranges, a few reds and what a great location to go to! You can see the entire city of buffalo from atop this hill on a clear day.

{It also looks like an extra AWESOME sledding spot. I can't wait to tell my little guy all about it.} 

It's quite an honor to have been able to meet with Kelly, Adam and Lucas and learn about their family. Lucas had a few complications after being born, and you can really see all the love they have for this little guy. It is so evident! It just goes to show you how the love and persistence of a family can make all of the difference. It's great to see that Lucas is happy, healthy and just an all around fun little guy! Plus check out those eyes!! 

I just love working with little ones, it really puts a hop in my step. Every new session brings new opportunities for me to meet wonderful people and hear their stories. I am so fortunate in life to be able to photograph special moments. Thanks so much guys I had a blast !!
