alyssa+rich+murphy

 

Meet the RIDICULOUSLY talented photographers of Nickel City Studios, Alyssa and Rich… and their RIDICULOUSLY adorable son Murphy :D

 

 I love this family :)

 

 This is SOOOOO Murphy… he's famous for this little expression :D

 

 …but I wasn't having it :D  

 

 WACKY BOBBI STRIKES AGAIN!!!

 

:D

 

 GAH!!!!! Crazy about this one :D

 

 F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E! :!: AYKM??!?!!!?

 

:D

 

 Mikey's favorite :?:

 

 Alyssa and Rich… you two have the perfect kid :) Just do…

 

ORRRRR… Maybe THIS is my favorite…. :!:

 

BUFFALO, NY. For those of who follow me on Twitter you may remember an update a LOOOOOOOONNNNNNNG time ago about a husband and wife who each emailed me separately (within 12 hours of each other) about surprising the other with a session… :D Well… that couple is Alyssa and Rich.  I don't remember how the surprise was figured out… but, in the end… it wasn't a surprise at all… and regardless of the lack of surprise… it was perfecto!  I asked if they had talked about it the night before they both had emailed me… the answer… no… they had discussed it a year prior.  Isn't it neat (yet crazy) how in a marriage we become so incredibly connected?

Enough about them… let's talk about the perfection that is Murphy! ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH ALL OF THAT CUTENESS?! He was one of the most well behaved, full-of-personality, hilarious kids we've ever photographed :D

Rich, if we ever get to photograph your family again, PLEEEEEEEASE wear the "AYKM?!" shirt :D  

Much love to you all.

~bobbi+mike :!: + :?:

:D

 

 GAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

:!: + :?:

We’re in love all over again – thank you guys so so much for flying out and shooting us. We love ‘em!

PS – Alyssa is going to murder me for us not having a new blog post up before you posted this. Like, she called me up this morning while I had an ice wrap on my knee at physical therapy to tell me to get my ass home to blog because your status was that you were blogging :P

Comment by Alyssa

November 10, 2009 @ 7:36 pm

Sorry to be so late to the comment party – I was on the roof of the crack den all day, but I just wanted to say thank you both for being totally kick ass. Can I say that on your blog? Well, you are. We love them, and we love you guys for being willing to come out here and give up your time to shoot us. I know at this point in the season, you probably just want a couple days off to sleep, but we’re so thrilled that you came out here and gave us the best anniversary present ever. I’m so excited to have such fantastic photos of our little family. And we just showed them to Murphy who declared “I like dat one and dat one.” “Murphy, with all the photos of you with Mommy and Daddy, the ones you like are with you and Mike?” “Yup.”

So …may I just say that you two are simply and utterly amazing?!?

I follow you on twitter, facebook, and here and I find your style of photography AMAZING! I wish I could get married all over again (to the same fella, of course) just so you can shoot my wedding.

Love your style and your spirit!

GORGEOUS. So nice to see those constantly behind the lens step in front of it for a while and look so fantastic doing it. Murph is obviously a seasoned veteran at being in front;) R,A& M, you guys look amazing. Crazy good idea for your 5yr. congrats! (obviously my fav. is you pulling Murph out of the hellfire:))

Too amazingly cool. Somehow I happened upon your website and blog a couple of months ago, fell in love with your work (and your logo which I shared with my graphic design class as probably the coolest most personalized logo ever) and then you actually come here to Buffalo and photograph my (nearly) neighbors? CRAZY!! The shots are AMAZING, and I am so excited and bummed all at the same time- If I had known I may have hired you guys to photograph us too! Beautiful work!

what a fun little family, oh my goodness is murphy cute! love this session!

p.s. that last one of mike walking murphy across the street melts my heart :)

Comment by gail

November 11, 2009 @ 1:09 pm

LOVE this shoot! For some reason, they remind me so much of the Kings. Maybe it’s how adorable Murphy looks in his hat, like him and Miles could be buds. Or maybe it’s because Rich TOTALLY favors John (helllooo megawatt smile), but I love them all the more for that.

The photos are awesome!!! Who wouldn’t want these hanging on their walls?????

Comment by Emily Steffen

November 11, 2009 @ 1:11 pm
