Mister Grayson

My beautiful godson mister Grayson, born on March 18. His poor mother, and a dear, old friend of mine, was in pre-labor FOREVER. They had to do everything to keep this little booger in the oven. Luckily, once he was born, he was as healthy as could be and pretty darn cute. Naturally, I took the opportunity to photograph him a few weeks after his early birth. He was and is so good, hardly ever cries and... didn't pee on me. Which, in the world of infant photography, is a miracle. I will be charting his growth over the next year, stay tuned!

Introducing the Selaks

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Margaret and David Selak. It was a unique day wedding followed by brunch, which was really nice. Unfortunately the weather was less than favorable, but we made the best of it. Luckily, I have a large collection of umbrellas for days like theirs. Believe me, just because it's raining it doesn't mean we can't get some beautiful photographs. It does however, require me to work really fast and expose my poor equipment to the elements. Though in the end, I think it was well worth it. I wonder if Margaret feels the same way about her shoes and dress getting just less than destroyed by the rain and goose poop? She was a real trooper and was willing to sacrifice in order to make lasting memories and for that, I loved working with them. Congrats to the new couple!

Miss Chloe

Yesterday I got to spend a couple of hours with a former bride of mine and her absolutely stunning daughter Chloe. Jackie is Chloe's lucky mom and they were so much fun to work with. Lucky for me, Jackie has a vision; photographers love people with vision! We had an absolute ball dressing miss Chloe up and getting some really cute 6 month old photos (I know, I know, I am biased.) This little girl is not only gorgeous, she has a killer personality too!

Alex turns 1

A few weekends ago I was fortunate to work with one of my coming bride's sisters and her cute family. Their son Alex turned one a month ago and they wanted some professional pics of him for his birthday thank you cards. I had such a good time hanging out with Alex and his parents. I tend to revert back to my childhood when surrounded by toys, which I love. Alex is an adorable kid with some of the most amazing eyes I have ever seen, pretty cool personality too. I had the opportunity to get on the floor and play with Alex for a bit to get him used to me and then the photos started. What a kid!

WHAT a summer!

It has been the busiest summer thus far for my photography business. I can't begin to thank those of you who were pushing my services on theknot.com and weddingwire.com, it's much appreciated. One of the best parts of my summer was shooting a number of weddings with my brother Paul. He started a videography business and has gotten really, really good at shooting weddings in a artistic, documentary style with an incredible eye for dynamic lighting and composition. The dude has become one hell of a cinematographer and that means you get more than just video, you get style. I don't want to fail to mention that we work incredibly well together.

With wedding season winding down, I have just one wish: to photograph more babies and pregnant women. Weddings are wonderful events but I would love the opportunity to work with infants. With that being said, I am offering a deal to ALL of my brides. If I shot your wedding, I will shoot either your pregnancy or infant for 25% off.
