The Nelson Family

We had a fun time shooting the Nelson's the other day. Such a fun family to be around. We shot a few in the studio and the took them out back for a couple "in the woods." I really like how these are turning out and I'm sure you all will as well. Check out a few from the session below.

Tanya came for some portraits

Tanya was in the studio a while back and we had the pleasure of producing some really nice portraits for her. We had a nice time with here and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks Tanya, here are a few from the day.



Ethan's Senior Session

Ethan and his family came over the other day. Ethan wasn't too excited about getting his picture taken but once we loosened him up a bit he didn't seem to mind at all. Bea, his mother, also wanted some family photos so we use the time wisely and grabbed a few of the gang together as well. Check out a few from our time together below.







Kendall's Session

Two year old Kendall brought her mom and dad over for a few shots the other day. This little girl was a blast to shoot. She tested us out at first but once she got the lay of the land she took off and allowed us to make some really cute images. Thanks guys for stopping by. We look very forward to doing it again. Until then enjoy a few images from the session.




Kaiden's 6 month session.

Kaiden came to the studio right before I left for Philly and I was unable to shoot his session. My back went out (most pain I've ever felt) so our "secret" shooter stepped up and took charge. Like I've said before, I'll announce soon who the secret is but as you can see from the images, she's a very talented photographer. Kaiden was such a great kid right up until the very end of the session. He was sure to let us know when he had had enough. Oddly, it was right about the time his mother put his Halloween costume on...."Dragon Down!"

Workshop day 2.....

Well as I'm sitting here in my hotel room finishing my editing from today. I'm looking out my window and seeing the fireworks in South Philly from the World Series Celebration. A pretty cool way to top off a pretty cool day. It was cold as "insert inappropriate comment of your choice here" today but we went to the old State Penitentiary downtown for our session. The models were very gutsy and never complained at all in the very cold and windy conditions. I was dressed pretty warmly and my butt was freakin' freezing. None the less I was again surrounded by some amazing photogs and I enjoyed getting to see how they work. I again tried shooting in ways that I don't normally subscribe to and I'm loving the extra tools I'm gaining by doing so. Here are few images I managed to capture from the day.

So I'm in New Jersey....

I'm attending an amazing workshop with some really phenomenal photographers in New Jersey this week. So far it has been really cool. The people I've met have just been fantastic and while the weather has left much to be desired so far, I've been able to still capture some really cool images that are a bit of a departure from what I normally would go after. Here are some random shots from today....

Zack's Senior Session

Zack, who is no stranger to our studio, visited yesterday for his senior session. We had a blast, he's a really a fun kid with a great attitude. We all went out to Pike State Forest for the latter part of his session. The fall colors were amazing and I'm glad we were able to shoot him in that environment. He lucked out and didn't get his pic taken with me and Adrienne at the end of his session so We'll have to track him down later to grab that one. Thanks Zack. Enjoy!










The Schafer Kids.

We had the Schafer children over yesterday for a short little session. Little Dagen gave us a run for our money. Who would have thought that an 18mo. old little boy wouldn't want to sit still???? RRRRight..... Anyway, we were able to capture these children in shots that would make any parent proud. These are 3 fantastic kids and it was a pleasure having them over for the session. Thanks guys, we hope you enjoy.

BTW. Dagen was one of the first little ones we ever shot. You can see one of my favorite pictures from his session here. When I saw this shot I knew exactly how i wanted to edit it.

Emily is a Homecoming Queen.

You guys remember Emily right? She was here in August for her senior session and she called us after she won the top honors in the Princeton High School fall Homecoming court. We, of course, got the normal head shots but I wanted to experiment a little. Emily is a fun girl so she was up to the task. I love the images we grabbed and I think she will as well. Thanks Emily. Until next time....Enjoy.
