Newborn Shoot – Alex

January 20, 2009 – 10:42 am

Today I had the pleasure of spending time with little Alex (just six weeks old!) and his mom. Alex was a total trooper, staying awake the entire time (the image with his eyes shut he was faking it!). There was also something sort of moving about photographing a newborn as our new president was being sworn into office.

Here are a few shots from today.

I photographed him through the mesh of his crib. The resulting texture made me think of an aged photo so I played a bit with the image.

Probably my favorite… so far.

Queens Engagement Shoot – Farideh and Jon

November 25, 2008 – 12:09 pm

Wow. I haven’t blogged in some time, but with good reason! (1) I’ve been mainly doing Hip Hop shoots and I can’t post any images from magazine shoots until they’ve been published… (2) I’ve been pretty sick.

Anyway, I met up with Farideh and Jon on Saturday in Flushing Meadow Park. As most east coasters can tell you, it was the COLDEST day of the year. I believe temperatures were in the low 30s, but the wind…! I feel that me, Farideh and Jon deserve some sort of an award, definitely, for braving the cold. Regardless of numb limbs, an uncooperative flash AND memory card, and the wind speed – it was a great engagement shoot. They are an adorable couple who were so much fun to be around. Also, Farideh has a wealth of knowledge regarding Flushing Meadow Park. I learned so much history!

Thanks for a great shoot. Enjoy Florida you two, you deserve some warm weather!

Kids Portraits – Mattias

October 21, 2008 – 3:35 pm

Total number of RAW photographs I took this weekend = just over 2500 in three days. I’m pretty sure that sets a record and it also provides me with a lot of digital dark room work.

I played with Mattias on Sunday and took some photographs of him to send with his school application. However, this kid has a lot of personality. We made a compromise that for each ‘serious’ one (appropriate for his applications) we’d do 5 (yes, 5) silly ones.

These are a few of my favorites.

I showed this to Mattias after I took it and asked him what I should call it. He said, “I’m a lego man in a lego house, duh.”

This was during the negotiations. My favorite is that I asked Mattias to pick out something nice to wear and he chose a bright orange Pirate shirt.

Kids Portraits – Meet Audrey

October 13, 2008 – 8:10 pm

This is my first post on the new blog!

These are highlights from my photo shoot with Audrey. I’m still learning to post photos – so am hoping this works out nicely! Audrey was such a pleasure to photograph. Meeting her, Jeni (mom) and Ross (dad) was such a pleasure. Thanks to mom and dad for braving the traffic and traveling to Queens! Enjoy the photos!audrey_1932.jpgA favorite of mineaudrey.jpgaudrey130c.jpg
