Baby A arrived 4 weeks early…as a Mother’s day present!
They say how sleepy newborns are… well he decided he wanted to be wide awake for our first photoshoot together… for the entire 3 hours! Don’t be fooled by the few shots with his eyes closed…that didnt happen for more than a second or two.





watch the slide show…

I met a great family today. What sweet kids… thanks guys for making it easy for me.





Take a look at the slide show.

I went down by the beach the other day for a few portraits.
Here is a little cutie( my friend Noelle’s son) and my own cutie who is all grown up now.

Hey I made it to David Jays OSP forum…
he was in New Jersey on Monday to do a seminar for PPANJ.
It was a great day filled with lots of great information.

Here are his pics… ok for some strange reason I cant seem to get links to websites in here… so you will just have to copy and paste

*for those of you that don’t know anything about David Jay he’s a great wedding photographer out of California who also has some great products such as the slideshow program called show it web.

another communion cutie… and her little sister stayed around for a few shots too.

Check out the slideshow.

It isnt the easiest thing in the world to work with a 2 1/2 year old…
she really wanted nothing to do with this photography stuff. I just kept hoping for one or two good ones with mom’s belly. That’s all you need….


I think I got them…don’t you agree?
Mom was easier alone

I didn’t get a chance to post any images from Lisa’s special day because i went away the day after… sorry about that but here are a few

It is so hard picking shots from this session to show… because this little cutie couldnt take a bad shot! Thanks Miss J for a great session!

I just wanted to explain to my clients a little about the difference between an image straight out of the camera which is also known as a “proof” versus a processed/finished image.
I can best explain it by showing an example of an image processed next to the same image before processing. Processed image on the left and “proof” on the right(click on image for larger view).

The colors/lighting are adjusted, the eyes brightened slightly, the skin softened, any marks/blemishes are removed, a slight shadow on the left collar is removed, and the background is vignetted. These are just some of the steps taken in creating the finished product.

Little Miss R turned one recently. How fast did the year fly by!
