Two Weeks

Baby A arrived 4 weeks early...as a Mother's day present!
They say how sleepy newborns are... well he decided he wanted to be wide awake for our first photoshoot together... for the entire 3 hours! Don't be fooled by the few shots with his eyes closed...that didnt happen for more than a second or two.





watch the slide show...

David Jay

Hey I made it to David Jays OSP forum...
he was in New Jersey on Monday to do a seminar for PPANJ.
It was a great day filled with lots of great information.

Maternity with a 2 1/2 Year Old

It isnt the easiest thing in the world to work with a 2 1/2 year old...
she really wanted nothing to do with this photography stuff. I just kept hoping for one or two good ones with mom's belly. That's all you need....


I think I got them...don't you agree?
Mom was easier alone :)

Lisa's Bat Mitzvah

I didn't get a chance to post any images from Lisa's special day because i went away the day after... sorry about that but here are a few

Communion

It is so hard picking shots from this session to show... because this little cutie couldnt take a bad shot! Thanks Miss J for a great session!

Before and After

I just wanted to explain to my clients a little about the difference between an image straight out of the camera which is also known as a "proof" versus a processed/finished image.
I can best explain it by showing an example of an image processed next to the same image before processing. Processed image on the left and "proof" on the right(click on image for larger view).

The colors/lighting are adjusted, the eyes brightened slightly, the skin softened, any marks/blemishes are removed, a slight shadow on the left collar is removed, and the background is vignetted. These are just some of the steps taken in creating the finished product.

Fun To Be One

Little Miss R turned one recently. How fast did the year fly by!
