Model Archives

Every so often a photographer needs to go back and look at the progression of style and artistry. Learning how he/she has grown over the years. This gives the opportunity to learn from past work or even give the present artist ideas. Sometimes we give up one technique that really works for another. Occasionally we borrow these ideas from ourselves.
Also, it's really just a lot of fun looking through the archives of previous jobs.
Well, since it's right after the holidays and I had some extra time I decided to go though some of these such archives. I started out with the model archives. I have come up with one model in particular with whom I worked well with. Unfortunately, I had not until this time displayed many of the photographs that I took of her. I hope you enjoy.

OpLove!!!

Hello everyone! I'm so sorry that I have not kept up with my blog. I have some great news though. I have just joined the OpLove organization. This is a group of photographers that use their talent to support our troops. We offer our time (a photo session) and follow up with a small album for the deployed soldier. This is to try and boost soldier moral and lend support to the families whose loved ones have been deployed.
You see after a friend of mine was deployed I decided I wanted to do something to give back to the brave men and women who fight for our freedom. I can't wait to photograph my first family! I do not have any scheduled yet, but will keep you all posted. Pass the word on about this organization to any families who have soldiers being deployed. If you would like to know more about OpLove, here is the website. http://www.oplove.org/ I really found this part of the site especially touching (this is where interested families go to get more information about the program and can find a participating photographer closest to them. http://www.oplove.org/index2a.php
May everyone have a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

Boudior Sessions

Boudoir Sessions are very special. True they create beautiful images for the man in your life, however, they are special more for the woman in the photograph. These images make women feel powerful and sexy in their own beauty. Something they may or may not normally feel. I strive to make every woman feel this way. Feeling beautiful is a gift every woman can and should have. Featured here are two lovely women that embraced their beauty and sensuality.

Valenzano Winery

Christina and Dave decided to do their engagement session at the Valenzano Winery. A sweet little winery in Shamong, NJ. The property is beautiful, the couple was fun to work with, and the weather held up until we finished. Talk about luck.

Getting to know you session

The "Getting to know you sessions," also known as engagement sessions are so much fun to do.
This couple was a pleasure to shoot. They had a blast, regardless of the fact that it was cold out. They chose to do their session by the water. Here are some images for you to enjoy as well.

A Time to Relax

Sitting on a nice sunny patio in Florida, got me thinking about all the fun and different sessions that I could do with an adventurous high school senior.

When I was in high school, my senior portraits did not turn out anything like I expected. I wanted to have more of a "model" or "high fashion" feel. This is what I strive to accomplish for my seniors.


So, back to Florida... and all its beautiful water. Adding water to a portrait I feel adds a certain dynamic. Water can add a sense of mystery, it can symbolize innocence, and also add a dimension of light through the reflections. Brave seniors are encouraged to have sessions near lakes (with the option of going in the lake), pools, and fountains.


In my opinion, any setting that is out of the ordinary and lends to the seniors' individuality makes for a great session and wonderful portraits.
