Katie & Tim's Signature Photo session


Even with a little rain falling, Katie and Tim drove up from Connecticut and we had a fun time shooting at the Empire State Plaza in Albany. They're a fun and energetic couple and were an absolute pleasure to work with.

This wedding is going to ROCK! When I met Katie's dad we were all in tears laughing and hit it off so well - it was more than just meeting the bride to be, it was a whole family experience. Congrats on a fun and fruitful photo session guys only 2 months to go!

May Signature Sessions

The month of May has been full of fun and excitement with preparation for my upcoming June weddings. There have been signature photos sessions to do for my June clients and they are always such a fun and exciting session.

Sunday May 17th Joy and Jeff had their signature photo session in one of my favorite places to shoot - Albany's Washington Park. The park offers so many different places to work, the boat house, the pedestrian bridge, the pathways, flower beds and trees. Their June 13th wedding is fast approaching! Joy and Jeff are such a fun and easy going couple and I simply cannot wait to capture the moments of their wedding day.





May 22nd I had the pleasure of shooting Mollie and Pete's signature session in Washington Park in Albany. Mollie and Pete will be tying the knot on June 20th and what a great shoot we had!




Saturday May 23rd was a beautiful day even though they'd predicted rain. In the early morning I drove to Congress Park in Saratoga to photograph Stephanie and Byron's signature session for their upcoming June 27th wedding. During our shoot Stephanie and Byron were visited my a few of the locals - beautiful ducks!





Later in the morning I made my way down to Clifton Park to take some time and photograph Katie and Damian's signature session for their upcoming August 8th wedding. Since they were in town for Katie's bridal shower it was an opportune time to have their photo session. They chose a quiet little pond near Katie's parents house and it was just perfect!




It's been a while...

Well the month of April and for that matter May has flown by with Spring Break with the kids spent in Baltimore, my adventure with a swimming pool (always smell the pool for chlorine - long story).

We decided to take the kids to the National Aquarium in Baltimore and explore the surrounding area while there. Delaney and Asa LOVED the aquarium, especially the 3 story shark tank! We also visited the Maryland Science Museum which had some great hands on exhibits, IMax movie theater and finally the Children's Museum in Baltimore. The Children's Museum was more of an indoor playground than a museum but the kids had a BLAST!












After our excursion to Baltimore I had the pleasure of attending a photography workshop lead by George Weir. I'm a firm believer in continuing education and for photographers it's a little different than simply showing up to a structured class. Each year I choose a workshop where the photographer's work moves me or inspires me. George has been a photographer most of his life and truly shines in the area of journalism and shooting from the heart. I walked away from his workshop inspired, motivated and challenged all in a matter of 48 hours!
