OK - so winter is NOT over yet...

I love snow but wow - this reminds me of the snow we used to get growing up... I was snow blowing for the better part of last night and ended up doing my driveway plus five of my neighbors. Five broken shear pins and some tired muscles later I captured some of these images... Enjoy!

What next???


So I finally decided to buy an espresso maker. While I was "doing the deed" Nancy was next door getting shoes with the kids. Go figure - Asa wanted special shoe laces... Gotta love the kid :-)

The shots of the Breville Expresso maker and the shoes were made with the Nikon 85/1.4 and the images of the kids and Nancy are with the Nikon 200/2.

Laura & Jim 2.20.10






Ah yes - another freezing cold day filled with hot, hot images from another fun filled "Get to know you" session with Laura & Jim. After much discussion they decided to shoot at the Altamont Elementary School playground - what a fun shoot!

After we shot there for a while I decided to put my own spin on the images and shoot at Stuyvesant Plaza... Love the lights from the trees in the background while Laura & Jim stroll on the sidewalk.
Thanks for such a fun filled shoot guys!

Jamie & PJ 2.15.10





What an amazing shoot - Jamie & PJ wanted to do their "Get to know you" session in Cooperstown which is where the wedding will take place in September... We had such a fun time getting to know one another and truly come together - it shows in the images. We shot in 4 different locations in less than 2 hours and boy did we freeze our bits off!

All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you for such an incredible time and I cannot wait for the Signature session and wedding to make some more amazing images of you guys! Jamie & PJ were also the first couple to be photographed with my new BIG GUN 200/2 Nikkor - an amazing addition to my gear.
Enjoy!

Riverstone Manor Bridal Show 2.7.10



Well the 2010 wedding season kicked off with a fun shoot with Jessica and Sam and rolled right into the bridal show at Riverstone Manor - one of my FAVORITE places to work. Skip, Amber and the crew pulled off another successful show on Superbowl Sunday!

120 brides walked through the doors to scout out the vendors and wares available for their special day. It was great seeing old friends like John Viscosi (photographer), Mitch Frasier (Vocals & DJ), Mike Garrasi (DJ), TR Laz (Albany Weddings) and of course the Riverstone Manor crew...

They had some absolutely stunning models showcasing wedding gowns and bridesmaids dresses. The food and ambiance was superb and there was even wine tasting. I decided to display one of the images from Cristina and Blake's wedding in 2009 as a 46"x78" central image and showcase some of the 8"x12" albums I designed and printed myself.

If you've already hired me as your photographer I thank you, and if you haven't (yet) I look forward to speaking with you about my services for your very special event! I encourage you to look at my website and the blog here to get a feel for my style as well as view my "Other Professionals" link for recommended DJs, Make Up Artists (MUAs), Florists, Videographers and Event Planners.
