Brian & Katie's E-session

Ahh tis the season for engagement sessions, senior portraits, and the highly anticipated start of wedding season. This weekend Isaac and I will be in Clifton Park,NY and Northville,NY for the wedding of Jess & Brent. We are hoping the rain holds off long enough to take some awesome shots on the shores of the Great Sacandaga Lake.
We are now booking for 2010, so if you are interested in meeting with us, NOW is the time, before your date is gone. We are doing a limited number of weddings next year as we want to have more time to design albums and work with your images after the wedding. As wedding quantity goes down, service and quality go up. This year is the start of a new Kain's Photography.

Below I have posted 20 of my favorites from Katie & Brian's engagment session. Katie & Brian have choosen Isaac and I to document their wedding day in Geneva, NY. We are so excited to shoot our first wedding at Belhurst Castle. It was great to get to know Katie & Brian as we wandered around Fort Ontario a few Saturdays ago. What great weather we had in the beginning of May! ENJOY






































I had to put this shot in. I think it is just so funny with Katie's hair in the air and her expression. SO GREAT!


She will be such a beautiful bride!

Chris & Erin's E-Session

Last Saturday Chris & Erin met up with me for a meeting/bfast/e-session combo. It was great fun to be with them for 3 hours as we got to know each other over some diner goodness, and then headed on over to Fort Ontario and then the river to take some photos. Chris & Erin got married a few years ago, but they never got their dream wedding. Chris & Erin have gone through some bumpy roads, but they are an inspiration to Isaac and I that love heals, prevails, and lasts. These two are finally getting their dream wedding in 2 weeks at Bayshore Grove in Oswego,NY. We are so happy to be there with them to document their entire day. Enjoy my favorites!

We're back!

We are now home and I am back to work after almost 2 weeks off. Isaac and I were in Spain for 10 days on a missions trip where we visited a handful of missionaries and used photography and video to document their ministries and lives. It was a wonderful trip with many things to talk about. If you haven't had a chance to look at some of the photos already, check them out at:

Since I have been out of the office for quite some time I have a pile of phone messages, emails, and letters to go through. If you contacted me while we were away I will be sure to get in touch with you in the next few days. Thank you all for your patience and understanding while we were away.

Our first wedding of 2009 is coming up in a few weeks and we couldn't be any more excited. We are now booking for 2010 weddings, so please contact me ASAP as we are doing a limited amount of 2010 weddings. Have a great day!

Leaving in less than a week

Hello!
Today is so gorgous out! So if you are in NY you need to get off your computer and go outside... including myself. So I'll make this short. Tomorrow I will be posting photos from my first Quincenera from last weekend. Enjoy!

Isaac and our nephew Andrew on the train to Charlotte. These two are so funny together! I wish we didn't live so far apart


Last week I was bumming so Isaac and I decided to take a day to ourselves and go to Canada. I know it seems so far away. But in about 2 hrs we were in Canada and another 1/2 hr we were in Kingston. We are a crazy couple, but we love to explore and love car rides so why not go to Kingston, Ontario.

We went out to lunch at this restaurant "Olivea" in downtown Kingston. It is this very cute yet modern Italian restaurant. I had the best chocolate mousse ever! MMM. If you haven't checked out Kingston or Gananoque in Ontario yet I highly suggest you take the quick drive for a day trip or an overnight and explore!


Our view of downtown and their mini farmers market. I love the brick streets


Isaac and I have been so busy doing things to our house before things get busy with wedding season. We finished one of our guestrooms the other day. I picked this soothing yellow color. It just makes you want to melt into the bed and stay there for a while. We also finished our library, but at this moment it is holding all of the stuff we took out of another guestroom, so I cannot take any photos.


Have a blessed day!

New Niece and Hannah & Wes E-session

I just found out that I have a brand new baby niece born this morning at 10:55am, weighing 8 lbs 5oz. Her name is Elliott. I Can't wait to see her. Congrats to my sister and brother: Tess & Alan, and of course Michael, who is now a big brother! What a great day :-)

Here are some of my favorite photos from Hannah & Wes's engagement session from last Friday. We met up in the late afternoon, and it was surprisingly cold. My fingers were numb after we finished. Hannah & Wes are getting married on May 16th of this year. I already have a wedding scheduled in Clifton Park, so I will not be shooting their wedding, but my assistant, Leanna Chapman, will be shooting it for me! Enjoy!

Welcome Spring

The sun is shining and it is now officially spring. I just wish it wasn't 30 degrees outside. Brrrrrrr. We leave for Spain in less than 3 weeks and I cannot be any more excited. I have 2 albums left to design for 2008, and a few other little projects to finish up before we leave. It is March Madness time and I am so excited to have duel display on my computer so I can work on my main monitor while watching the games on my secondary monitor.
*** Go CUSE!***

This afternoon I have an engagement session, but for now enjoy a photo from a photo session last week.
