Buffalo and buffaloes with Jonathan and Charlene

Jonathan and Charlene will be getting married next spring.  They called us from “The City.”  (cultural aside: In most of New York state, we call New York city simply “The City.”  It seems to clarify things when we’re differentiating between the state and the city.) Anyhoo, Jonathan is from “The City” while Charlene is a… Read more »

This is actually the last shot from the session, but I’m putting… Read more »
