Briana & Pat ~ A Glance

"There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass,
and I long for this mirrored perspective when we'll be lovers, lovers at last." ~ Death Cab

LIFE ~ MARLA

Every now and again, I find myself saying..."Oh Life". Sometimes it hits me how interesting, crazy, ridiculous, and amazing life can be. There are so many scenarios it offers. I find it interesting that I can get so wrapped up in what I think it should be and forget about those the blessings and growth that come with the unforeseen. When Fabienne came along we began one of those growth spurts. From birth to feeding tubes to Trisomy 21 to heart surgery, Marla has proved to be more of an incredible woman than I'd ever imagined. She's just the most beautiful person I know. An incredible life mate, who just happens to be gorgeous and always game for anything. It's always a treat to be able to see her through the eyes of the camera and freeze life for a moment. Marla, you inspire me to be a better person and I'm truly thankful to be doing life with you. I Love & Appreciate You Friend. P.S. ~ Faba loves you too!

LIFE ~ MARLA {preview}

When the weather is nice, which tends to be the case here in summer, I feel the need to shoot! SO, I did. Can't wait to share the rest with you!

Life ~ Little One

Now, there is a long story to go along with the shots of this Little One, but due to time, energy, and dinner I will save that for a future post. For now enjoy my new little package that came full of surprises. Fabienne Joy Michau

LIFE ~ THE PROGRESSION

So, with the baking of my young loaf of sweet bread in my dear wife's little belly, she wanted to record the progression of growth for her BLOG. I obliged. These are a few favorites from the many shoots and they will continue til my little package arrives. That being said, I may post more later. For now enjoy these as well as your local FALL day. It's a phenomenal time of year!

Love ~ ten.

Ten is how many years I've been graced with calling Marla Christine my wife. Pretty soon I'll be calling her "My Baby Momma" and endearing things like that! I'm sure "My Baby Daddy's" will be flying around the house too. Not many people get to marry their best friends and I consider myself one of the lucky ones. She truly makes marriage a blast and I'd never want to face a day without her! From hiking Southern Alps of New Zealand to the walking the mowed paths of the County Park...she's always up for anything! (Except eating meat of course!) Babe, you make life better and I can't wait to see how amazing the next 10 years will be. Thanks for putting up with me! LU

Life ~ She Knits

I'm super proud of her for many reasons. This time it's because of her knitting skills! Marla does a swell job at knitting just about anything, but I'm keen on her scarf's. Mainly because she made me one and its killer! We had fun on our little shoot a few days ago. Western New York is beginning to see SPRING with our sunny days and temps hitting the 40's. It's an exciting time to be outside. Needless to say I got a little sidetracked and forgot about shooting the scarfs! Here a few from the shoot. I'll be sure to let you know when she starts her ETSY!

Great Outdoors ~ I Snowshoe.

Winter is in FULL EFFECT here in western NY. Try keeping me inside. I'm going through somewhat of a dry spell with my photography but am refusing to let it get the best of me! The wifey and I love to get out an and snowshoe this time of year. I look forward to these times of being in the woods, fields and snow, and spending time with her. I'm using this time to document and capture the beauty of what God's given to us. These are a few shots of the delights I've experienced on the trails the past few days.
