Storm Photography

I found this site and thought it was awesome and immediately brought myself three 16x20's. I would check it out if you are a storm fan like me.

Wedding Vendor Forums

I recently joined the Wedding Vendor Forums, a great way to network with other wedding professionals.

Ron and Senny's Wedding

On June 9th, I was privileged to be Ron and Senny's wedding photographer at Westchester Manor in Westchester, NY. Although there were some scheduling glitches with the rabbi, the deed was done in style, and then a wonderful party ensued. Pictures of this event can be viewed here:

Eileen and Chad's Wedding

Two weekends ago I had the honor of being Eileen and Chad's photographer at Irvin's Sunnyside Cottage in Tarrytown, NY. It was a beautiful venue, and even though trains occasionally roared past, it simply put in perspective the lovely sounds of nature when they were not present. This was only formals and ceremony.

The full album can be viewed here:

A bit of work for the North County News

I did a bit of free-lancing today and shot a graduation today for John F. Kennedy.

I'm remembering why I hated my graduation - boring and hot! But it was nice to be shooting again, as I've taken a couple of weeks off.

Next week is a biggie, 3 weddings and a portrait session for Somers PTA.

What me, sleep, never!

Zachary's Bar Mitzvah

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the L.'s middle son's Bar Mitzvah. I knew the L's previously from shooting their oldest son's Bar Mitzvah, also both at Temple Beth Am in Yorktown and at The Pinnacle in Somers. This one was cooler, clouder, but just as much fun. I think everyone had a blast, including yours truely. It will be a few years until the youngest one is ready to be a Bar Mitzvah, but I'm looking forward to seeing him and his brothers once again.

All pictures are posted here:

Digital Scrapbooking

My very good friend Cindy was telling me today about her digital scrap booking efforts for her young niece. She's putting together a 'year one' album, which I thought was adorable. It also got me thinking of possible applications in my business, which I could see being applicable for weddings, but much more likely would revolve around the portrait side of my business. What exactly? I do not know, but it could be an interesting avenue to explore over the next few weeks.

We shall see...
