Michelle and Dave's Wedding

Michelle and Dave got married in an incredibly cute little church in Northern Pennsylvania. The reception was in the basement. It was the perfect setting for a country wedding right before Christmas with the snow falling everywhere.  They utilized pine in the flowers and centerpieces and we took most of the family portraits in front of the Christmas tree that was set up in the front of the church. You may recall Michelle from the boudoir session a couple months ago, and it was great to see her again! Here are a few of my favorites...

Olivia Act - Free Session nominations

The Olivia Act, named after one of the children killed in Newtown, Ct., was started by a photographer who wishes to be anonymous. Olivia’s family had family pictures taken a short time before she was killed. Those pictures are precious and now priceless to them. Upon hearing this, this photographer was moved to give away a 30 minute family photo shoot and has challenged other photographers to do the same. We go about our daily lives and sometimes we don’t take the time or have the resources to have family photos taken.

I will be taking nominations for a family who you think would deserve a session. This session will take place after the New Year at a time that works with the family and myself. I will be taking Nominations until December 31st . Please email me their name, contact information (email and phone number) and a brief summary of why you chose them too: putting "THE OLIVIA ACT NOMINATION" in the subject line. The chosen family will be contacted via email or phone call. Please do not post their information here. The gift is a session and a collection of digital portraits, so they may have priceless keepsakes to adorn their home. Please share this status. Thank you. ♥

Please send all nominations to jscunningham.ny@gmail.com

Mother and Son

I met this mother and son duo in Centennial Square the other day, it was threatening rain and cold, but they wanted their pictures in the square with the holiday decorations. Needless to say we were done pretty quick but I think we got some great shots! Here are my favorites...
