I recently got a chance to work on some published fashion work with one of the models in Hudson Valley.   I love doing this editorial style of work, but it’s always hard to find time, wardrobe, and enough ideas to actually put together an editorial.  I guess I honestly just don’t have that many ideas when it comes to being an editorial photographer, even though I sure do love it.  This is Rebecca, and we worked together to create a gritty moody editorial piece for LaDamme magazine out of France.  It was a blast to shoot this one, and we actually had the cops called on us for trespassing which was both hilarious, and a little worrisome all at the same time.  It was still a blast to shoot t

Well if you can’t tell I’ve been trying to catch up on all my blogging lately.  It’s about time I start taking my blogging more seriously, as it certainly does affect how my website performs.  This time I’m going to talk through a portfolio session I put together for one of the local Hudson Valley models sarah weeks.  She currently works with wilhelmina here in Hudson Valley, which is an awesome agency, and I was happy to get a chance to shoot her.  She was super easy to work with, and I feel like we got some great shots.  Shots that show a bit of emotion, and something dynamic for Sarah.

Well it’s certainly been a while since I’ve posted any engagement work up on my blog.  I’ve been so busy with the other sides of my business it’s been a challenge to find time to do the engagement work that I love doing.  I got a great chance to go out to San Francisco and photograph this wonderful couple.  They were truly special to work with, and I was really happy with the way the images came out.  Be sure to inquire about my rates if you’re interested in my engagement photography.

Man life has been busy lately.  I’ve been in Vegas for the last week.  And while that was a ton of fun I’m not going to lie.  I’m spent.  It’s been a long week.  Worked a ton, and gambled and drank until my liver finally said enough.

I’ve been having a ton of fun with my photography lately.  And I’m getting really bummed about winter/fall coming.  As much as I like my hoodies, and fleeces, I’m going to miss shooting cool clothes in the natural light.  I’ve really been getting back to shooting less studio, and more natural light stuff and it’s been a blast to say the least.  That’s what I love about photography, it’s always new and excited whenever you get out of your comfort

Well I had a total blast in Hudson Valley City for my birthday it was truly one of my favorite trips I’ve ever taken in my entire life.  I had an amazing group of friends all meet up with me for my 30th there and we had so much freaking fun.

Some fun things about the trip:

Amazing indian food at this restaurant with all sorts of crazy christmas lights hanging from the ceiling.

The weird rivalry between the next door neighbor to the Indian restaurant.

Central Park with my wife.

Coffee at an amazing french bistro…. also with the wife.

Hanging out with some of my favorite people in the whole world.

Hearing that one of the couples I was with were going to get engaged in a week.

Riding in a Limo, because we couldn’t find a damn cab.

Seeing a temper tantrum or two.

Brooklyn Bridge in the rain.

I simply couldn’t have imagined a better birthday, and it made turning 30 a bit more bearable.

I hope you enjoy all my random shots.  These were all shot
