Dulci

Friday, July 30, 2010

After months of having to reschedule, I was finally able to meet up w/ a family who I first photographed when Miss Dulci was firstborn. Now, 9 months later we got a chance to meet up again. Mom decided to have me meet them @ the beautiful grounds of Vanderbuilt Mansion in Hyde Park, NY. It was pretty humid out so we stayed under the trees & out of the sun. It was such a treat for me to get to photograph this little girl again. I grew up w/ her mommy so it’s always nice to get to see your friends having kids. Even though we don’t get to see each other often these days, this was an extra special experience for me.

She was just loving the grass…a little too much for mom @ times. Had to keep picking grass out of her mouth in between shots.

I love it when babies make the funniest expressions & faces. This was my favorite of hers!

Just look @ these cheeks! Makes me just want to reach out & give them a big squeeze!!

I bought this bucket along to try it out for the first time. Miss Dulci wasn’t really into sitting in it, so this was my only shot. But I love it!

Dulci is a pretty serious baby, but we did get a few smiles from her @ times which made me happy!

I also bought a tutu that I haven’t gotten to use either. Dulci was my first model & I just think she looks so cute in it! Makes me want a little girl so bad!!

About an hour into our session, dad finally got to make it for a few shots. By this point Dulci was getting tired & hot, but dad worked his magic so we could get a few family photos!

I love this picture! I asked dad to put Dulci up on his shoulders & she had other ideas. This is her trying to get off his shoulders, guess it wasn’t her thing. LOL

Snuggle time w/ dad. Can you say, daddy’s girl? So stinking cute!

This is Miss Dulci contemplating what to do w/ these flowers.

She quickly caught on & then we had to say goodbye to the flowers before the flowers went goodbye

Thank you to Gina & Mike. I’m so happy we were able to get together & I got to see how much Dulci has changed since I last photographed her. What a gorgeous little girl you have!

July 30, 2010 - 1:29 pm Gina Edwards - As always Bec did an awesome job!! I just love the quality of the images, her ability to capture the moment, and the mood. I also appreciate her ability to put Dulci at ease.. that is a skill! Now to get these beautiful photos out to the family! Thank you, thank you Turnquist Photography!!

July 30, 2010 - 6:28 pm Aunt Deidre - Oh My Goodness!!! You took some AWESOME pics of my three babies. If I had to choose, I would have to make an entire album, there wasn't one picture I didn't love (and not just because of my love for the models :-)

July 30, 2010 - 8:34 pm simone - Man she looks like an Edwards!! And she finally got her ears pierced! Yeah. Beautiful job!

Kyle & Amanda ~ Part 2

Friday, July 30, 2010

So I wanted to finish up my post from our last wedding we shot in Pine Plains, NY. It was a gorgeous barn setting the country w/ a very relaxed & quiet feel. We left off @ the reception. Since it was such a warm evening, we let everyone go get a drink & just cool down a bit. Then we snagged our bride & groom away for a few moments alone as newly husband & wife. These two are so adorable together. Of course we had to take as much use of the beautiful barn that was the center of attention @ this wedding site. I just  love a good barn!

Amanda’s gorgeous bouquet as well as the bridesmaids bouquets & boutonnieres were created by Melissa Popp from Hugs & Kisses.

Amanda’s dress was simple, but elegant. I just loved the sheer cap sleeves on this gown! Just gorgeous & perfect for this county style wedding

Our stunning new bride!

The Newlyweds

So as you can see from our images below, the wedding party was far from serious, which always makes for some great photos!

There was a family @ this wedding w/ six children (two sets of twins) that had the most beautiful blond hair & piercing blue eyes. These kids were so cute!

We just loved the red rockers from the image above, that Jesse thought it’d be interesting to use them for our ring shot. I love the red contrast in this photo!

The flower girls were too cute & of course what else do you do when you have a beautiful dress on, but spin around! I remember doing this as a little girl too…it was the best!

The best man gave such a heart warmer & emotional speech. And yes the mush that I am, he even got me teary eyed.

The maid of honor on the other hand, well you can see where her speech was going.

Always love a good father daughter moment. She’s the only daughter w/ two brothers, so this was extra special for them.

Want to thank Kyle & Amanda for letting us be apart of their special day. We had a really great time & felt very welcome. Congratulations!

July 30, 2010 - 1:54 pm Gina Pulicicchio - What a beautiful wedding!! Great pictures!

Craig & Kristin ~ Olana w/ Love

Thursday, July 29, 2010

I got a little behind, but wanted to finish the second e-shoot we had this past Sunday. They wanted something not urban, but w/ fields & flowers. So we decided to take them to Olana State Park just outside of Hudson. As much as I love shooting in Hudson, I was excited to do something a little different. The garden was full of beautiful flowers & everything was lush and green. They bought along their dog, Gisepi who was a rescue dog they got about year & a half ago. He has some issues w/ strangers & other dogs, but I think we won him over. I’m happy they decided to bring him along & include him in some of their shots.

Was diggin the tatoos & blue shoes

The sky got really dark & it actually started to rain a bit. So we took cover in the woods, but it quickly passed over so we could continue on w/ the shoot!

We came across some bushes of wild rasperberries so we took advantage of them & ate a few. Raspberries happen to be my absolute favorite berry! I was super excited about the find!!

I just love this persian style home! It’s so unique & very distinquished. I always look for it when I’m coming across the Catskill Bridge when we head home.

Thank you to Craig & Kristin for spending sometime w/ us & letting us get to know Gisepi too. We had a great time & look forward to your wedding in September!

Rich & Gina ~ La Vita e Bella!

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

Ah yes, our Sunday afternoon engagement session w/ Rich & Gina. Where do I begin…but to say OMG, was it a hot & steamy session w/ these two lovebirds!! Reminds me why I love this business so much in the first place…I’m a hopeless romantic @ heart. Love is a wonderful thing when you have someone to share it with & boy o boy, did these two have love for one another! Jesse & I had so much fun w/ this couple & makes us anticipate what more is to come when the big day comes in October. We hit the town of Hudson again because they decided to choose a location near their wedding site which is @ Apple Barn Farm in Livingston,NY. I was so excited about it since I just love this town. There are so many great places here that provide such amazing backdrops!

Can you tell what a character Rich is? He was so fun to photograph & did a great job getting the best laughs out of Gina!

This was the perspective from Jesse in this shot & mine is below. Love having two photogs for our shoots!

Gina had such a gorgeous smile!

So about half way thru they really got into it & let loose. I actually thought @ some points they forgot we were there. That made me so happy because I knew @ the moment, they trusted us!

THE RING SHOT! I absolutely love how this turned out & super excited about it!!

Since these two are both musicians, we decided to make our last stop @ Club Helsinki. I think they enjoyed it, alot!!

Thanks so much for spending a couple of hours w/ us & getting to finally meet you in person. We had a blast & it was obvious you did too! We can wait for your wedding in October!

Balloon Cupcakes

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

I thought I’d post this image I found from M. David Media today. With so many couples opting for cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake, I thought this was a really creative & fun way to display them rather than the usual cake tier. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Yesterday we had a busy day! Two engagement sessions back to back in Hudson, NY. Again we had overcast skies & threat of rain, but it’s becoming my favorite kind of day to shoot in. Here’s a sneak peak from our first session. Let me just tell you, these two made for one hot & steamy e-shoot…this is just the icing on the cake my friends!

Kyle & Amanda ~ Sugar Hill Farm, NY

Monday, July 26, 2010

Our last wedding was another gorgeous outdoor setting. The bride’s father is a caretaker for this piece of property & was an ideal setting for their wedding in the country. Now as much as I love outdoor weddings as much as the next person, there’s always the threat of rain. And even though our summer started off really dry, the rain was in the forecast once again. The sky was amazing w/ the dark clouds & burst of sunbeams shining through. Provided some great overcast lighting as well which are always great for pictures! Everyone maintained a positive attitude though, which is always the best thing to do…since you’ll be married whether it rains or not. We were able to have the ceremony outdoors as planned since the rain continued to hold off for everyone! I was so happy for them, especially because the view was amazing!  So these are a few highlights from the ceremony. I will post some from the reception next time. So keep checking back for more to come…

The Ring bearer who was just absolutely a ham for the camera!

Taking a peak @ the guests arriving

Our handsome groom!

The barn next to the ceremony site provided a perfect location to get up high & get a shot of all the guests as well as the spectacular view!
