It’s the most Wonderful time of the year…

If you’re in high school that is. Prom, Senior Portraits, all the end of year events that mean summer really might be approaching.
And see I promised I wouldn’t let that whole moving 300 miles to Pennsylvania thing deter me. I photographed E’s prom last year, and had a blast, so when asked to photograph her before prom again this spring I couldn’t resist. And since her junior year is drawing to a close we threw senior pictures into the mix this time around and ended up with an entire weekend of shooting.
We Started with her prom session on Saturday…
And Sunday we dodged rainstorms and mud puddles to pull off these outdoor pics…
And then headed back indoors for the rest of the studio pictures…
This was officially the first senior session I ever did that included a hamster. Actually the only session I’ve ever done that Included a hamster…
And just because it was the day after prom and because we’d already been shooting for hours days we decided to have a little bit of fun…
From the Archives: Night out at the Eastman House…

This past fall I had the honor of photographing the Gilda’s Club Gala at the George Eastman house. It was an honor for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that for a photographer photographing anything in the Eastman house is well…see it’s so awe-inspiring I can’t even think of an analogy. At least not one that doesn’t border on sacrilege so I guess we’ll just leave that alone .
But this evening was an honor for an even more important reason, in that I had the opportunity to lend a hand lens to a fantastic charity. The Gilda’s Club has been serving the Rochester Area as a support group for those diagnosed with cancer and their families. This isn’t the first time I’ve been able to support this fantastic charity, and I really was honored to be able to do it again.
let me tell you a Secret…or the one Where Meg Moves to Pennsylvania

Seriously how cute is that.
But really I do have news. Not a secret though. Meg Faehl Photography is officially moving to Southern Pennsylvania.
What does that mean for me?
Well really it means that my husband got a new job which I guess results in a transfer for me as well. It means warmer weather, hotter summers, and a lot less snow. I’m trading lakes for mountains and having to research business tax laws for a brand new state (know a PA accountant- feel free to pass on their number). Unfortunatly it means saying good-bye to friends and clients in New York. Hopefully it means new adventures and the opportunity for photo sessions in 2 states instead of 1.
What does that mean for you?
Well if you’re living in Southern PA (Chambersburg or Franklin county) or even Northern Maryland (Hagerstown Anyone?) It means good things are in store. Like lots of great pictures. Stay tuned, there’s more to come for you.
If you’re living in NY however, don’t despair. I love you too much to leave for forever. But we do have to get a lot more creative with scheduling. I will be returning to the Rochester area periodically, and I’m more than happy to schedule sessions while I’m in town. So if you need family pictures, office pictures, anything that’s not too time specific give me a call and I’ll get you scheduled for the next time I’m in town. If you have an event or a newborn or something that is very time specific though…well feel free to call and I’ll see what I can do. It does take awhile to drive 300 miles though…
I hope you’re Hungry…

Because if not you might be after this post…I’m venturing away from my more typical subjects to photograph something that can’t run away from me for a change.
Of course photographing food brings about a whole new set of challenges…
Like not eating my subjects before I’m done photographing them. It’s harder than it sounds.
A Day at the Dentist…

So I just got back from the dentist. But this time it was a lot more fun (and less painful) than normal. Sorry about that Dr. Nicosia. But I would much rather photograph your chair than sit in it.
Anyway, Dr. Nicosia of Nicosia Dental is completely revamping his website. And being the forward thinker that he is he saw the value in hiring a photographer to come in and shoot custom images for his site, rather than defaulting to stock images. Which is what led me to spend a delightful Saturday photographing other people getting their teeth worked on.
In all seriousness though, I walked away with not only a bunch of great images, but a new appreciation dentistry in general. And if you’re ever in Brighton, NY and happen to have a tooth ache, I highly recommend giving Dr. Nicosia a call- with their state of the art technology, and wonderful staff, you won’t find a better place to get your teeth drilled dentist.
2 Adorable Girls and a perfect Fall Evening…

I had the opportunity to photograph the 2 cutest little girls the other day. It ended up being a perfect fall evening, perfect time of day (there really is something to be said for scheduling your session in the 2 hours before sunset- best lighting ever, especially in the fall), and a great new location!
What a perfect little model. Seriously- how cute is she?
Don’t you just love her perfect little shy smile!
Big sister- I suggested the bench, but the snuggled up pose- that’s all her idea! Absolute perfection.
I don’t know which is more photogenic- the bright eyes or the perfect curls!
And just for fun!
If these pictures don’t make you want to run outside and play in the fall sunshine I don’t know what will. And just a reminder, scheduling a fall session can be a little chaotic since the weather is well…indecisive…at this time of year. We only have a few more weeks of fall weather left, and while I try to free up as much shooting time as possible before we’re snowed in for the winter sessions are limited, so book now!
Also, if you haven’t started thinking about the holidays yet- well it’s time. In order to guarantee turn around in time for Christmas your session must be scheduled no later than the second weekend in November.
4 months and growing…

Don’t these look like something straight out of a fairy tale? I photographed these 4 adorable girls at Sonnenburg Gardens last week. I was going for a storybook/fairy tale theme, and I couldn’t have picked a better location (or asked for better models)! Despite the fact that we got started nice and early, it was HOT by the time we were done, and these girls were real troopers. You can expect a second post from this session in the next day or so, but these were so much fun that I had to post them awhile.
the only thing Cuter…

The only thing cuter than a precious, 2 week old baby girl…
Is a precious baby girl and her big sister snuggling…
And the only thing cuter than that…
Is realizing that in addition to these two sweet girls, this family also has the 2 most adorable little boys ever.
