Still playing catch up on the blog here.. Each year at the beginning of March, the Philadelphia Flower show opens up. I take the opportunity to walk around and look for different angles and ways to use light in different ways.
Even when not "on duty" I still get suckered in to shooting the wedding ;) ...
These shoes were made entirely out of plants and flowers. pretty cool. (not wearable though)
So over the Easter holiday weekend, I took a trip up to visit my friend Mandy Karangelen, in Hoboken. Her friend, Andrew, was in town from Australia. We met up in Hoboken in the evening then headed into New York City. As this was Andrew's first time in the Big Apple, we wanted to really show a staple landmark of the city as a backdrop for their portrait shoot.
Now, New York City is a big place... and especially for most visitors, one of the last places to just run into someone you know on the street.... Well, that is exactly what happened! As we were shooting, I turned and looked over my shoulder and saw California photographer, Becker. We all hung out for a few ours and just had a good time! He even snapped a few of me... yes, I got in front of the camera. Make sure you check out his blog.
Becker was in town shooting an engagement session for his clients who happen to be getting married in a few months in Connecticut.
During the portrait session, a few young'ns all sprawled their way into the scene. It was so spontaneous and fun, that we all just rolled with it.
Then Becker took the group aside and started some very impromptu and fun street portraits... he his is working his people skills.
Something that a lot of Brides-to-be and girlfriends have started doing for their lucky significant other, are boudoir pics. These are about feeling confident and also giving a special and personal gift. K and I met up a few weeks back and spent sometime working on a great shoot. Here is a small sample.
Back in January (I know I'm behind), the first of many-to-come Photog ShootOut get together's took place. We all met up for a fun day of shooting, mentoring and sharing of information. You can check out the group's Facebook page here... www.photogshootout.com
Here are a few I snapped that day.
Hi all! Sorry for the brief hiatus from posting here. I assure you, there are lots of posts to come within the next few weeks, so stay tuned! A few weeks back, I met up with Liz and Steve to photograph their engagement session at Longwood Gardens, in Kennett Square, PA. Steve had proposed to Liz here during Christmas time last year, so this place has some extra special meaning for these two.
We Spent about 2 hours walking around the park just talking and having fun. This is the way I love to work with my couples! It makes for very relaxed, fun and natural pictures.
Take a peak a few from the afternoon.
