Casual Summer Family Session with the Darling Family at The Buffalo Japanese Gardens

When you exchange your vows, it’s just the beginning of an exciting story yet to unfold. To be invited back – year after year – to photograph your anniversary sessions turned anniversary/family sessions is an honor and I will always be so, so grateful for each invitation. While I didn’t photograph Holly and Zach’s wedding, I have been photographing them every year since – to locations all around here in WNY and even to their current city of Boston, MA the year they were expecting! But this session with them and their daughter from this past summer at the Buffalo Japanese Gardens has to be my most favorite yet.

PS. Holly is an INCREDIBLE fashion blogger and designer. She actually made her shirt and their daughter’s dress in these images. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! <3 You can check out her website here and her hand-made kids’ clothing shop, Shop Nelly Lou, here.
