The Friedrich’s // Elmira, NY // Family Photographer

So, pardon me if I’m a little bit biased, but I kind of love this family. It might have something to do with Val being one of my best friends – or it might be because Landy is officially one of the cutest little guys in the world. If I could pick who Braelynn would marry one day, it would be Landon – hands down. And if I could pick who my next door neighbors would be, it would be Val & Sean. See? I love them.

I love them so much, that I spent my birthday with them! Yep – this photoshoot happened the morning of my birthday. See? True love.
But the best part: they brought me chocolate chip cookies as a birthday present! They know the way to my heart – that’s for sure! So, I think it’s safe to say, that as much as I love them, they like me quite a lot too.

We spent that beautiful, golden, fall, Friday morning exploring Eldridge Park, in Elmira, New York. I have to admit, it was a little bit of a challenge since we had spent time at Eldridge in the spring for some family photos! We found some awesome new spots though that I hadn’t even realized were there last spring & simply enjoyed ourselves: the last of the warm-ish air, the few ducks that were remaining in the lake, and picking Queen Anne’s Lace flowers of course.

I took two of my all time favorite photos to date on that day in October – who could resist this stare?

And I just LOVE this! Is he singing? Getting ready to take a bite? It doesn’t really matter – he’s cute enough to be doing either!
