check out these images from the other day…….all created in my Franklin Lakes, NJ studio.

I love simplicity………it is just so understated……and makes for amazing portraits.
I also love black and white
again, very simple

all of these images are so simple, yet each one tells it’s own classic, timeless story…….

good stuff

the other day I got these really cool albums in, I call them companion albums because they are meant to be “companions” to traditional, heavier leather bound bridal albums. My clients love them as “carry around” albums, kind of like high end brag books.

One of the best things about my companion albums are that they contain real custom printed, fully retouched photographs, they are not “press printed”  (which is like magazine printing) like so many other photographers albums.

check out the video for more info on my companion albums

okay, so March is here, and even though I love the winter, March 1st can only mean good things are coming……..and two of my favs are spring skiing and St. Patricks day! And if I can get on the slopes on the 17th it’s only that much better! (and I usually do! lol)

The “to do” list keeps getting shorter and shorter, and while I was doing “stuff” on the list, I ran across images from Italy in ‘08 and had to post this one……….I think that is was from Minori, a small town on the Amalfi coast.

Outer Banks Photographer

also ran across these images from a wedding last summer on the beach in Corolla in the Outer Banks, and I have to admit, even though I love the colder months, these kind of images make me look forward to some warm weather!

This one’s one of my fav’s from the entire summer!

If you’ve been a regular visitor here, you know Gracie ( our Jack Russell terrorist ) is a big part of our lives……..Skip ( aka my wife Patti ) clipped this the other day and gave it to me….it’s from the Mutts comic…..and it happens at least a dozen times a day, but we love it.

Here’s a little more fun with Gracie……and the snow!

and for those who care, the running streak is still going strong, a thousand plus days, I’ll have to count ‘em up and report back.

till then,

peace

hope you aren’t as forgetful as Bill……..lol

Just like everyone in these parts we had a snow day today, but since I’m working from home a lot lately I was able to continue chipping away at that to-do list……..
But we did manage to play a bit

…and the play will continue tomorrow cause Chris and I are headed to Hunter…..I’m psyched!

hold on tight……you are about to see 197 rockin’ images in less than 2 minutes and 46 seconds!

go ahead….click the arrow! I dare ya!

photobooths are so cool! everybody loves them! this is one from a New Jersey Wedding that I photographed at Eagle Oaks Country Club in Monmouth County.

check out this fusion

(   fyoo-zhuhn -a mix of video & stills – short & sweet…and very cool )

of a wedding ceremony on the beach in Corolla!

and while trying to make a dent in it I came across this clip from last summer….it’s a quick trip from my store in Corolla to the lighthouse rd where I was meeting a client for a portrait session

and here’s a portrait of one of our cats ( Molly ) that I just printed, framed and brought to St. Huberts Animal Welfare Center in Madison, NJ. I’m donating a session and a canvas portrait to be auctioned at Cat Society Tea this Sunday, and thought that Molly would make a nice sample.

Do you have, or know of a group that is having an auction to raise funds? Have them contact me, I’d be happy to help.

okay, so it’s groundhog day, also my nephew Bradley’s birthday – happy b day dude – and I figured that this would be as good a day as any to launch the new blog!

New Blog?….. why not start it off with a portrait of a newborn baby……this little dude was about 12 days old when this was taken!

……he did a pretty good job too, didn’t fuss at all!

and since it’s February and nice and cold here in NJ I figured a beach portrait from last summer in Corolla in the Outer Banks might warm things up a bit!
be sure and check out iPhone Photo du Jour, it’s a fun little project I started last October……..a new photo every day, taken with my iPhone……there are some sweet images there, you can even purchase prints!

Here’s one of my recent favs from Iphone Photo du Jour

Stay tuned!……and enjoy!
