As I sit at my computer editing the photos from Kyle and Theresa’s wedding, my heart skips a beat. Maybe it’s because I drank to much coffee, but very possibly (and most probably) it’s because of the expression in Kyle’s and Theresa’s faces when they look at each other. Their love is just so…. CONVINCING. …
Meet Arthur. He doesn’t speak yet, but is definitely ready to do some flirting with a lady photographer (me). Ready to get rough on the court. I was a little intimidated by the toughness, but I had to get over that. :P Love the sunshine in the back of the mother and child. It’s coming …
I was very pleased with all things that related to this engagement shoot. First of all the weather was a perfect overcast sky with just a few sunrays shining through. Second of all, I was shooting with my new Shootsac, which turned out to be pretty comfortable. Third, Laeti and Max were awesome and photographing …
I was supposed to meet Theresa and Kyle at 6pm on the day the world was supposed to end. At one point the rain beat so badly (as I waited umbrella-less under a bridge on one of the transverse roads near Central Park while being splashed at by oncoming traffic) that I thought it just …
Besides that clean and beautiful photos of people that I expect of myself when I shoot an event, I like to add a little bit of flair. This can come in many forms. Sometimes it takes an angle. Shooting from the top either requires either equipment (which for me has proven to be too bulky) …
Sometimes you end up buying a gooey mask with a cool sounding name at Duane Reade and applying it at home with a friend for no good reason other than to feel girly. As my friend Keren was putting on her mask it reminded me of the many pre-wedding ceremony time when the bride is …
Here is an event I shot last year, which I never got a chance to post. Here are three of my favorite images from the event. I love the rich colors. And I did not even do any color manipulation for these… there was actually a flashing square that illuminated the beautiful roof space with …
Sundaye and Jon were a blast to photograph. In addition to being fun, they were BOTH positively striking. The shoot consisted of me, a lovely assistant, and Joe who shot some video. I fell in love with Bryant park as a natural backdrop for photography shoots, which once again confirmed my belief that backgrounds need …
During my last trip to Miami I went to Vizcaya Gardens. There I stumbled upon 2-3 wedding photographers, whom I couldn’t help but stalk just a little bit. I would “accidentally” end up within an eye and earshot away from them and greedily soak up what they said, etc. First of all, I’m just drawn …
And I mean outside. Obviously it was left on by accident. Is there a reason why we still have to wear out warmest coats, shuddering as we walk to the nearest subway? Shouldn’t there be some sort of union for this type of thing? A protest group? Anyway, it’s time for the sun to come …
There is a lot to think about when you are photographing a wedding with over 150 guests, and trying to make sure both the groom’s and bride’s side gets an equal opportunity at being photographed, while keeping the bride and groom separate until the actual chuppah. This was a long day of photographing, but the …
Yesterday was the most beautiful day ever and my camera and I decided to go for a walk. Even though it was very bright outside I opened up my lense to a 1.4 f-stop because I wanted a clean, minimalistic look. Here are some of the shots. Flower against a brick wall. I wanted the …
Whenever I visit Boston I make a trip to my friend’s house. My favorite subject in the house to photograph is her son. At age 4, he speaks only Russian with an adorable lisp that I would pay for on a per-item basis. He’s gotten very comfortable with me and my big camera, as well …
I love shooting friends who have gotten tired of fighting me and my camera off, and have just accepted the reality that they will be photographed. Actually these particular friends like being photographed. I thought my friend came out stunning in this one. I love the relaxed yet rich expression on her face. This one …
I was over a friend’s house where a grandma was residing (not mine). When I saw the combination of the grandma, cat, slippers, and newspaper, I went a little wild with my Pentax film camera. I wish there was a little more ambient light so that I didn’t have to struggle with a film camera …
