The O'Connell Family- Albany New York Family Photography

I've said it before and I'll say it again, photographing old friends NEVER gets old! I love being invited into their homes, meeting their growing families, documenting memories for them and catching up. I really should count up the number of people I've photographed my from graduating class alone- not to mention other BCHS grads I knew from high school!!

So Mike and I went to Middle School and High School together- maybe even all the way back to Elementary School- but in my, a-hem, old age I can't remember back that far!!

Mike and his wife, Sandy, recently welcomed their second child to their family and asked me to come to their home to photograph them. 

What a fine looking family!!

I love this photo so much and thinking back at the session we almost didn't even take this shot!

The session was great!! Their family is so sweet and I had a lot of fun capturing them- comfortable and natural right in their home- a perfect formula for great photos!

Their little guy warmed right up to my camera. A little help from some bits of chocolate and the promise of ice cream and he was the perfect model :-)

I absolutely adore this next shot- I'm totally going to recreate it with my own family and get it blown up HUGE for my family room!!

These next shots just melt my heart--they'll be bestest friends, I can tell!!

Fist bumpin' baby-- I LOVE it!!!

The sweetest little baby details!!

She was totally telling me she was boss...sticking her tongue out at me :-)

The baby's nursery was amazing-and so girly!!  I love the mirrors on the wall!

Thank you O'Connell Family for inviting me into your home to capture your sweet family! 

Best wishes as a family of four!! :-)
