San Diego, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…

April 3, 2012 – 9:14 pm

 

So I just got back from a trip to San Diego.  My mission, the Baby as Art workshop. I figure if I am going to study working with newborns, then I will work with the best in the biz.  Baby as Art has even photographed celebrities such as Pink and Ziggy Marley, pretty sweet huh.  Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I got to meet an amazing group of girls to as well.  Carrie and Brittany were just fantastic teachers and gave the ultimate workshop experience, and for that I thank them.  Here are a couple sneak peeks from this weekend.

Best Of The Hudson Valley, Hudson Valley Child Photographer…

March 22, 2012 – 4:04 pm

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

I would be HONORED to be the first in this catagory, and would have to celebrate with my clients in a big way!!!

Here is where I need you HELP!!!

What you need to do, is follow this LINK:  http://www.hvmag.com/Hudson-Valley-Magazine/Best-Of-Hudson-Valley-Ballot-2012/

And at the very end where you see “Fill in your category,”  fill in Surprise Photography, Best Children’s Portrait Photographer

Thank you and lets cross our fingers!!

Also, don’t forget Waddle N Swaddle in the Best Baby Boutique category!

Year In Review, Hudson Valley Photographer…

January 2, 2012 – 8:51 am

 

I am going to admit, although Surprise Photography had a wonderful year, I am looking forward to a fresh start in 2012.  My personal life took some real bad hits with unexpected deaths of friends and family, a dear friend being diagnosis with cancer and Kieran taking about 10 years off my life with two major accidents in one year.  Don’t worry, his is okay.  And although I tried to not it affect my work, I found myself not able to produce a final product as quick as I would wish.  I beat myself up a lot over it but came to realize, I am only human and I do have to put my family first.  I hired a wonderful girl to work with me this winter and plan on holding on to her tight.  She is the reason I survived the holidays season, our busiest ever!

Next year I will be lightening up my schedule a bit.  I will be traveling and doing several educations workshops, and taking several mini vacations with my family.  What I have learned last year, is that I need to put my family first, enjoy as much time with them as possible, enjoy life and take adventures, and surround myself with good positive people. A happier me will only make for a better Surprise Photography.

Again, I can’t thank you enough for being apart of our family this year. Here is a look back at some of the wonderful faces that we had the honor of capturing this year:

Baby “J” At Home, Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer…

November 15, 2011 – 9:29 pm

 

Just days after meeting baby “J” at the hospital, I got the privilege of coming to his home and shooting his newborn pictures.  I am a fan of older homes with character, heck I bought one, but this one had killer hardwoods and a gorgeous wooden staircase, so for me to shoot here was a big SCORE!  He was bright eyed most of our visit but after some work of being super cute, we finally got him to rest his eyes. It must be the bucket.

Welcome Baby “J,” Hudson Valley Newborn Photographer

November 15, 2011 – 8:33 pm

 

YES, I am still here and finally back on the blog. I will admit, I was worried I wouldn’t remembered my blog login, it has been that long.  I have had a wonderful and overwhelming holiday season.  We were shooting almost 4-5 days a week, I am normally shooing 2, so we are now catching up!

This October I had the joy of meeting this little guy.  He is a sweet little treasure and the son of a former bride and groom.  Can I say how lucky I feel that they continued their journey of growing their family with me.   I had just gotten home from a shoot at Vassar hospital and got the phone call, “He is here!!!”  I’m like, I was just there.  What a baby week!

Baby J, I look forward to watching you grow!
