Wedding at Glen Island Harbour Club

Filed under: Weddings

This past weekend I was a second shooter at a beautiful wedding  at the Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle in New York. I helped out my friend Peter from Peter Oberc Photography. It is always such a pleasure and a wonderful opportunity to shoot with Peter. I am very excited about the images that I captured from the day and I have quite a few to share here…I think about 60 give or take a few! ;o) Well, enough chit chat…here’s the goods…very soon I will have a slideshow up of their images set to music! For now enjoy these…

Aron and Julie Engaged!

I shot a fun engagement shoot with Aron and Julie a couple of weeks ago at the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium. Aron proposed to Julie at the Aquarium so we all agreed it was very appropriate to shoot there! How romantic! I had a lot of fun helping them re-live the moment!

Here were my favs from the day…

Launching New Slideshow!!! Yipeeeeee!
January 13, 2009, 2:28
Filed under: 1

I am super excited to be announcing the latest product launch at Creative Image Collections! I have been working on this for quite some time and had a hard time keeping it a secret…but I did good!

I have been wanting to add slideshows to my presentations for quite some time now, but really wanted to take my time and research and find the right fit for my style as well as top notch quality for my clients. I believe in presenting my work in nothing but the best…which is why I have no issues with spending a bit more on something that I will defnitely be happy with. It has always been my motto as a consumer that you get what you pay for, and believe as a business owner that you should be able to stand behind your products/work 100%…

So with that said…I am presenting to you a fun slideshow of my kiddies as an example of the fun stuff in store for my clients in the year to come!

You can check it out by clicking HERE

 

Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Sunday!

I am trying to keep up with my blogging so I can stay connected to you! So I am pretty much boring today…just working on some computer stuff and slideshows and recharging some batteries. I am off later to a really cool engagement session that may be a little fishy, since it is at the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium!!! ;o) It will be a challange for sure shooting in the dark but I am always up for some interesting shoots such as this!

For now just a couple shots of ice…from our storm the other day…nothing too exciting since I only had 2 minutes to shoot before I put breakfast on the table for the kiddies and since I was working in my slippers! ;o)kids-10-of-29-copy

The Kiddies!

Filed under: My Life, Portraits

It is rare that I take my camera out to capture shots of my little ones. I have to remind myself that they will only be this young once and that it would be such a shame if I one day look back and wish I could remember who they were at this time in life and have no photographs to help me do so. Actually one of the things on my to-do-list this year is to keep up with my family photos on a monthly basis! Also to buy a video camera so I can record their voices! These two are the most wonderful gift I have ever received in life! They are everything to me and a constant reminder of how precious life is.

Nina…she is a diva and a very VERY dramatic little princess!  But she is full of spirit, can light up a room, and we all love her dearly! ;o)

I mentioned the word Chocolate and she ran over to the end of the table and gave me a big  and VERY cheesey smile…kids-24-of-29-copy

 

but don’t be fooled…that didn’t last more than three seconds! kids-30-of-1-copy

 

It is a known fact that Nina spends the majority of her day staring at and following my son Peyton’s every move. She loves him so much! They are a cute little team!kids-25-of-29-copy

 

Peyton…who is the spitting image of my dad when he was younger! I love that! kids-26-of-29-copy1

Shannon: Trash the Dress!

Filed under: Trash the Dress

Hey There! Happy New Year! I am still Alive! I know I have been very lazy in my blogging, but I think I needed a break from things for a little bit to get myself grounded, organized and ready for the upcoming year! I had an extremely busy year with lots of changes, both business and personal, and I am a very strong believer that with rough patches in life you gain strength and courage that you  may not have realized existed within you. I am lucky to have photography as a creative outlet and feel it is one of the things, next to the people in my life, that helps me to keep chugging along! I find great pleasure in getting lost in it and I love sharing it with all of you out there!

I did this Trash-the-Dress shoot a long, long time ago with Shannon and finally have had the chance to blog them for you all (and her ;o) It was cold and I was covered in burrs by the end of the day! In fact there were so many burrs that it was pointed out by the man behind the counter in the Dunkin Donuts we made a pit stop at while shooting! ;o)

I hope you enjoy!shan-39-of-197-copy
