A day in the Park with Mom. Buffalo, NY Times Beach

It's always fun to set out with my friends Danielle and Haley. We have been photo documenting Haley since birth! These two ladies are two of my favorite women EVER..... seriously! I always know that if I spend even 5 minutes hanging out with them, I will have a huge smile on my face in about 10 seconds. 

We started off at the studio and took some beautiful pictures of the two of them for a late Mother's Day gift. Haley is so funny too, she just ran and ran and jumped and played and did just about anything she could to focus herself to the middle of the room. When she would sit for just a second, I would grab some shots. If that smile of hers doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what will! 

After we finished up at the studio we decided it was too beautiful of a day to waste and we headed out to Times Beach in Buffalo, NY. This is all part of the new revitalization of the waterfront and let me tell you, it's pretty freaking awesome! 

There is an entire park attached to this small beach front with amenities such as a walk along the water, boardwalks, a sculpture park and a double slide! Oh boy! I'm actually kind of sad I didn't take advantage of sliding down myself. 

The love between these two is so beautiful. Danielle is so patient and Haley has the best facial expressions EVER! I had so much fun with your both, thanks again for the great time! LIVE.LAUGH.PHOTO. <3 Ariel
