My Favorite People, Hudson Valley Family Photographer…

 

This family is amongst some of my favorite people ever, yes ever.   To know them is to love them.  In fact, I think it is against human nature not to love them.  I have been photographing this family since my day one.  Spencer was 7 months old the first time I laid eyes on him.  I remember chatting with mommy on the phone for the first time, it was like we were old friends.  Now we are old friends.  I always feel like a better person after just a moment with them, so I feel lucky when I get to spend hours with them photographing my main man.

Big hugs and MUCH love to my favorite family and thank you for hanging with me for all these years! (Carla put the tissues away)

Mark and Laura are Married, Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer…

 

Looking back to the summer wedding of Mark and Laura at the Link at Union Vale.  I had WAY too much fun with this couple.  They were more like friends rather than clients. I knew within the first 15 minutes of shooting their bridals that if I had to go home after that moment, I had my grounds covered. Their happiness and willingness to do whatever I wanted, made it easy to shoot some killer images.
Note…the clouds are real, not painted in and yes, the bride loves Disney!

 

 

 

 

In Bloom, Hudson Valley Family Photographer…

 

There are only a couple weeks a year we get to enjoy the beautiful white flowers  that bloom on the campus of Vassar College, so when they do you have to run at the change to shoot there.  This is my 2nd go around with this family.  The first shoot was a surprise for dad, this time he was able to hang with us.   And of course you can’t forget the dog, what a great pup, center of one of my favorite family pictures.

 

Best Of The Hudson Valley, Hudson Valley Child Photographer…

The “Best of” always features the most fabulous types of food, drink and shopping in the Vally.  However, the arts are very under represented on the ballot.

This year I am really pushing to get more artists recognized fortheir contribution to the Valley.   Although there is no official ballot option, there is a “Fill in your own category”  slot.

I would love for you to consider filling in that slot with:

Surprise Photography, Best Children’s Portrait Photographer
