The Dunlavey Family Photo Session at The Burchfield Nature & Art Center - West Seneca NY - Photographed by Ariel Hawkins Photography

I had such a great time with Will, Emily, their two boys and their dog a couple of weeks ago! I love when my past client’s recommend me to their friends, because they always turn out just as cool and fun to hang out with.

I shot Will’s latest headshots a month back and while we waited for the crazy wild fire smoke from Canada to die down we planned out their family session at the Burchfield Nature and Art Center. If you haven’t been there it’s totally a hidden gem that I absolutely love. There are trails and a creek that runs though and is perfect for what we were looking for.

A huge plus as well was this place means something to the family. I enjoy going places that have significance for the family! Thanks so much for being patient as we planned the perfect day for your session and hope you enjoy the photos! LIVE.LAUGH.PHOTO. Love, Ariel

Here’s what they had to say about their session:

Emily

We had so much fun doing our family photos with Ariel! She was incredibly professional, easy to work with and helped capture some beautiful moments. We would definitely recommend!

Will

Ariel was so incredibly awesome to work with. Not only did we do headshots for work which helped with a promotional opportunity but our evening together at birch field is something that we’ll always remember. Thank you so much.
