Congratulations Nicole & Kurt!




Another magical event with two wonderful people, Kurt & Nicole! Despite the chill of the air at the top of the mountain, it was an amazing event with breathtaking scenery of up to 4 states! We had the opportunity to shoot the wedding of the brides sister last year, so it was great to see so many familiar faces at this wedding. Nicole & Kurt are both very warm and loving individuals, and we wish them all the best in their marriage!

As always, I'd like to thank the bride, groom & family for allowing me to spend the day with them. We will have all photos available online for viewing/ordering very shortly - please feel free to pre-register your name to receive an email when photos go live by clicking the link below:

Congratulations Brian & Jennifer!







Another amazing wedding today as we celebrated the new marriage of Brian & Jennifer! I've come to realize that no matter how many weddings you shoot, the stress simply never goes away when there is so much lying on what images you can produce with 200 people staring at everything you do. Despite the stress of these magical events, I love the thrill of each one, and being able to sit back at the end of the night and check out what will one day be a memory or worn out image passed down to generation after generation...... it's truly amazing to be a part of it all.

On a serious note, I would like to sincerely thank Jennifer & Brian for allowing us to spend the day with them and be a part of their special day. We have over 1200 amazing images, that I look forward to sharing with everyone ~ we should have everything uploaded for viewing/ordering within a couple weeks.

The Next Cindy Crawford?



Whoah ~ could this be the next rising superstar in the model industry? Had the opportunity to shoot with Cara this afternoon, who will be a huge contender at the upcoming New York State beauty pageant. Cara is a very sweet person, and we hope to see her and her family do really well with her upcoming career. Thanks for a fun shoot, and don't forget about the little people!

Sunday Morning...



We decided to take out to Cobleskill, NY this morning to hang out with the Johnson family for a bit. The family decided to get some family photos together just having fun and hanging out as a gift for their parents, who were out of town. Kids are really challenging sometimes to keep the attention of, but we had a great time hanging out with everyone. We'll have your photos online soon - thanks for allowing us to spend the morning with your family!

Mama's Boy...



Shooting an infant is probably the most challenging, yet rewarding events to capture when it comes to photography. Looking back as an adult (I turned 30 this week), I'd say some of my own baby or childhood photos are probably some of the most valuable things I own..... which is why I take such pride in being able to capture the beginning of a childs life. Will he become a doctor, a laywer, or even one day become the president?...... time will only tell.

Allow me to introduce Trevor, the newborn baby of good friends Traci & Troy! As you can see, Trevor is a bit of a ladies man already......... watch out Class of 2024! On a serious note, we'd like to thank Traci & Troy for allowing us to be a part of these very special photos...... One day these very photos will mean the world to Trevor. Thanks again, guys!

Pregnancy Shoot

Tonight we had the opportunity to do a pregnancy shoot for some good friends of ours, Calvin & Kristi. Calvin & Kristi have been neighbors of ours for the past 2+ years (however recently moved), so it's been really cool to watch their family grow up and do some family portraits with them from time to time. Their baby girl is being born on Wednesday of next week, so tonight's images were really important to capture before it all takes place!

Thanks to Calvin & Kristi...... we hope your family and baby girl will one day cherish these photos, and we are glad to have been able to capture this special time!

Congratulations Brian & Christie!





Another round of amazing back to back weddings this weekend, which means the exhaustion is officially set in - I'm wondering if I'll even wake up tomorrow! On a serious note, we had an amazing time shooting the wedding of good friends, Brian & Christie, and am so excited to have been able to help capture a once in a lifetime opportunity with them. The day could not have gone much smoother nor more perfect, and I'm really excited to share all the phenomenal images we captured from the day.

As always, I'd like to thank Brian & Christie, as well as all the wonderful family and friends that allowed us to be a part of this event. We hope to have photos up and running within a couple weeks for viewing/ordering. Please feel free to pre-register your email to receive a notification when images are live.

Congratulations Nicole & Sherman!




Had a blast hanging out with Nicole and Sherman, as they celebrated the beginning of their lives together as husband and wife. Shooting a wedding is without a doubt one of the most stressful things you can do, but it's always fun when you have a really cool bride, groom, and bridal party!

We had a lot of fun, and would like to personally thank Nicole & Sherman for allowing us to capture their special day. We hope to have all the photos from the event online within a couple weeks - stay tuned!

Happy Labor Day!

I'm pretty big on holidays, so I decided to really celebrate Labor Day hard by doing absolutely nothing! By the way, for those looking for a quick history lesson, the first Labor Day occured in 1882.... I figured you'd all want to know. I wish we could have 4 day work-weeks every week.... then again, who doesn't!? I haven't much to report on this weekend unfortunately, other than we sold our house, and are drawing up plans for a nice new studio for our new home - I can't wait!

I hate making boring posts, but I'm sure there's at least 1 person out there that has nothing better to do than read my blog entries (or maybe not), so I owe it to my fans to keep things fresh and up to date. We have quite a week coming up, so I hope you'll visit back soon for some cool shoot updates, etc (we also have two more exciting weddings scheduled for the weekend) - stay tuned!

Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday - I leave you with one of my all-time favorites of Niagara Falls I took last year while on a visit to Buffalo - what an amazing place!
