Our Family Christmas Session - Historic Cobblestone District in Downtown Buffalo, NY - Photographed by Ariel Hawkins Photography & Friends

Well, what can I say… I’m probably the biggest slacker you have every met when it comes to family photos. Not of my family. Just of me. Truth is, I gained some weight and I didn’t want to be in photos. I thought, I’ll just photograph my guys and that will be the best thing and all I need. The REAL truth is, I miss being in photos with my guys. I miss being able to be the CLIENT, and experience what it’s like to be on the other side of the lens. So after a literally five year long hiatus.. I’m back and better than ever!

Please enjoy these really fun photos we took downtown at one of my favorite places, Cobblestone District. Downtown Buffalo has really made a resurgence and there are a lot of really cool family friendly things to do. Including a brand new children’s museum which is a ton of fun and lots of things for the kiddos to do any time of the year as well as fun things for the adults to do as well.
