Chris did a location shoot today for “V”. She is turning 12, which amazes me!!! Such a beautiful girl, and to think she is barely a year older than my boys. I am feeling very old!! Happy Birthday “V”!!!!

If you don't know us, Sawicki Studios is a husband & wife team with me (Jen!) and Chris. Our studio is located in Amsterdam, NY, but we serve the entire Capital Region from Albany to Saratoga Springs, NY. Chris specializes in High School Senior portraits, we both photograph weddings together and now do only a limited amount of baby/children/family portraits to try to keep up with the demand of our growing senior portrait and wedding business.
Chris is a master of lighting. His images are always way out of the box, cinematic and unlike anything you've ever seen. He is without a doubt a photographic "Rockstar" in this area! I like using as much natural lighting as possible, staying simple, yet beautiful, clean and timeless. This is why we make such a dynamic team!

I don’t get to do location shoots too often, so this was refreshing- not to mention my subject was SUPER adorable!!! He’s busy, busy busy and was loving the grass!!



I must say, we are super lucky! Another gorgeous day, gorgeous couple and perfect backdrop for photographs! We loved working with Salina and Robb- and Salina’s parents. Such awesome people! I have actually known Robb since elementary school. And might I add that I think Salina had the most gorgeous dress!!!! I wish them both the best of luck for the future!!









This wedding was pure perfection! Beautiful day, amazingly gorgeous couple, fun bunch of people, and a sunset that was to die for! We also got to work closely with Al Woodard who is by far the most amazing videographer I have seen in this area- and was really great to work with! Ceremony/reception was at the Hiland Park Country Club in Queensbury. Without further ado, the amazing April & Jason!!

The evening ended with of course the perfect ending, FIREWORKS! And I must say, I am incredibly proud that I captured the very last firework that was a perfectly shaped red heart!

Gorgeous Friday evening wedding at Mallozzi’s! Shawn & Chris used to work together for many years before becoming a full time photographer. Such a beautiful and down to earth couple, and the wedding guests were so much fun!

Here are some of the tiny sweeties I have had the pleasure of photographing! I must say, the amount of maternity/baby plan sessions I have done lately or have booked is astounding! This is bad for me as it gives me baby fever- and Chris doesn’t like that! lol!
