Day at the Park!

Last weekend, I traveled to Pittsfield, Mass to photograph an adorable one-year-old, Irelyn.  We went to the nearby park to photograph her playing.  She was so cute and full of smiles.  After that, I met Andrew, a sweet little boy who loved to climb and go down the slide.  I could spend all day photographing children at the park.  When they are in an environment that they love, they are so relaxed and joyful.

Experimental Lighting

I really like the look of dramatic images - using very few light sources.  Dhruv came over one afternoon to pose for some great low-key images.  He's a natural at posing and there wasn't much I needed to say to get great results from him.  He even had some great suggestions as we worked.  In the images here, I am using only one small light directly on his face and the other as an accent light over his shoulder.  I love the look and hope to do it again.

Bridal Session

I am getting so excited for wedding session.  Brides are finalizing plans and getting things in order for their big day.  I invited a nice girl named Jennifer to come to the studio for bridal portraits.  We had a lot of fun and experimented with a nice red background.  We got some great images from our one-hour session.  Below are some of my favorite images:

Sherrie's Mickey Mouse Room

I can't tell you how excited I was to go see my friend Sherrie's Mickey Mouse room.  She told me she had a room full of Mickey Mouse memorabilia.  She has collected so many Mickey Mouse items that she fills up a large portion of the first floor in her home.  It's really quite amazing.  I suggested to her husband that they charge admission, like in a museum.  

In this photo, Sherrie is sitting on one of her Mickey Mouse stools.  Later on in the session, she put on her Mickey Mouse mink coat.  Before I left, Sherrie introduced me to her two rats.  It was a fun experience!

New and Exciting Things Happening!

Wow!  I have been so busy with clients that I haven't blogged in awhile.  I am so excited to post some of my recent work.  Early last week, I met a really nice guy named Joel.  He had volunteered to be photographed by my friend Mary, but I was able to steal him away for a few quick shots.  Below is my favorite.  The set I created was quite interesting.  I have regular white Christmas lights along with the colored ones.  I decided to turn the image to black and white to keep things even.
