I really thought I was going to get my first opportunity to photograph cake in the face, but they played nice!

Nicole and Craig's wedding was FULL of beautiful and creative details, such as above. The wedding was really so well thought out and unique.

I have to thank these two, two buddies of mine. Gina and Nicole are childhood buddies and Gina sent her my way. Thank you Gina and Ben!! Also the reason why these two are sitting is because only days later they had their first baby, Anna Rose! Congratulations!!

Nicole and Craig thank you so much for putting your trust in us! Cheers to your love and happiness!!

Baby Jack!

Photobucket
Recently I have been extra lucky because so many of my friends are giving me such great subject matter; babies!!! This is Jack, Jessica and Rob's baby! He is such a good baby and was a wonderful model during his photo shoot!

This shot of Jessica's Dad really touches me. I feel like I was able to capture one of thousands of hearts to hearts these two are going to have!

Fire Island Ice Cream!

Fire Island is in full swing! Last weekend when I got off the ferry I saw this scene. All I could do was laugh at these adorable little kids all lined up completely immersed in their ice cream. Such a Fire Island moment.

I decided to use this image to play around with some filters. I have always been such a straight shooter, trying to capture life and then represent it just how it is and or was. Recently I have had more thoughts about this idea from having some conversations with other photographers who do like to manipulate. Its fun to play around with the tools of the digital age. The problem I have is that my mind wants to see the photograph how my mind remembers the moment. When it comes to other people's images I tend to love the manipulation, but of course my mind has nothing to compare the image to.

The top image was cross processed to create some funky colors and the bottom image was a combination of black and white filters.
