Ultimate Family, Hudson Valley Engagement Photographer…

 

Why do I call this couple the “Ultimate Family?”  Well, this is my 3rd time photographing them, and not my last.  A couple years back I was invited by mother of the groom to come to her home for some pictures of her family in front of the fireplace.  It was a cold January day, but I was able to convince them all to go outside and enjoy a good old snow ball fight.  One of my favorite canvases came from this shoot, going back in time:  HERE.  Earlier this year I once again met up with Mom and her youngest son, aka young Ryan Phillippe,  to do some headshots.  I was beyond thrilled when  I heard the oldest son had gotten engaged and they instantly wanted to hire me to shoot their wedding.  It is not only an honor to be chosen to be the photographer for one of the most monumental events in one’s life, but just as much an honor to be considered one’s “Family Photographer.”

I met up with the happy couple, just before the rain hit, at Vanderbilt Mansion.  We got some play time with their cutie pie son and then got some one on one time.  Can you say hello “Beautiful Couple!”  I am very anxious to shoot their wedding this fall, but more anxious to photography their newborn session, one day…. LOL!!!

 

 

Robert & Cristina E-Session, Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer…

 

I recently met up with Robert and Cristina in Central Park for their engagement session.  I have to say, my clients are picking some great spots to do their shoots.  Not that Central Park hasn’t seen its share photoshoots, but for me, it is a new playground.  It was my first time really getting to walk around in the park, never mind shooting there.  The day was beyond gorgeous and everyone was out enjoying the weather, including like 10,000 bikers.  One of my favorite shots of the day is the first one below, you would never have guessed there were thousands of bikers right behind me.

We still have some time till their nuptials next year, but for friends of  Robert and Cristina: April 28th, 2012, SAVE THE DATE.

Boudoir, Hudson Valley Boudoir Photographer…

 

A couple of years ago, I did a meet up with bunch of photog friends from across the country, at  Kristen Kalps studio  in Philadelphia, PA.  There I got my first peek at Kylene Cleaver working her boudoir magic.  Over the past 2 years I watched her, through the wonderful world of the internet,  expand and grow to be one of the best boudoir photographers I have ever seen.  Her stuff is is classy, tasteful and just simply beautiful.  On a recent blog post she mentioned she was now offering “Mentoring.”  Ummmm, all over that!!  I am the type of person, if I am going to learn, I am going to learn from the best and that she is.

So this past weekend I hoped in the car and took a one day trip to Philly. Lucky for me, I had a mentoring session to me, myself and I.  We had some beautiful and brave models, who dealt with some frigid weather conditions. The black winged angel was a true trooper, being outside in her undies, in 35 degree weather and a wind chill that made it feel like 10.  Art is painful sometimes.

I am so excited to be offering boudoir as apart of the Surprise Photography experience.   More details to come!

 

 

 

Lauren & Scott-Engagement, New York Wedding Photographer…

 

I always talk about how much I love my clients, especially when they spread the love and refer me to friends and family.  I can’t thank them enough for it.  Lauren and Scott were one of those fabulous couples referred to me, by some of my favorite clients, to photograph their August wedding.  This past weekend we met up for the first time in Brooklyn for their engagement shoot.  They sent me an email to meet them at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, ice cream…yay!!  Yes, I know it is still a bit chilly for ice cream but never for me.  I couldn’t have asked for a better day, better location, a bluer sky, or a better couple to work with.  Oh, I can’t forget the red door, you know me and doors. I SPY them from a mile away.

The next stop of our tour is in New Jersey, were they will be getting married.  I don’t want to rush time, but I really look forward to seeing them again this summer.  BTW, I never went back for my ice cream.  I did however spend 90 minutes  in line for a Grimaldi’s Pizza.
