Just to take a break from weddings and engagement photos it’s nice to spend some time to shoot something different. I talked to my old Laguardia (LAG in the house!) friend Nelie about doing some photos that she could use to promote her music career and we both liked the idea of doing something in Brooklyn. This was perfect since she lives there and I’m from...

I always say it, but I really wish that we did more baby and kid portraits. With spending so much time shooting and editing weddings it’s nice to take a time out and do real family stuff like this. So, I took a drive on a bright sunny day to take photos of a young man named Cayden on a farm in Ballston Spa. It’s been a while since I did a photo session with ...

Whether you have kids or not…who doesn’t have a soft spot for cute kids? Maybe it’s their pure innocence or maybe it’s their chubby cheeks and stubby fingers….who knows why, but we’re all a sucker for a cute kid. So, I was happy to do some portraits of my friend Sharon’s son, Jakor (btw..I shot her wedding last year in Long...

The large majority people that book us for weddings, engagement photos and various portrait sessions never met me in person before they come in to the studio. Which is great because I get to meet so many interesting people with different backgrounds. But, It’s also nice to shoot for people you know….or used to know. I went to Laguardia HS of the Arts (LAG in...

She wanted some photos showing off her tattoos and a few headshots. The tattoo shots interested me because I love a...

I just got back from a great Photographers Conference down in New Jersey and learned about some great new photography tools and techniques. Also, we’ve been quite busy handling the business and marketing side of things…. working on a new website(coming real...

I miss weddings and it’s cold!…There, I said it. But, when you have great people like Marie that are willing to brave the cold for a photo shoot then it makes it all better. Marie came to me to have some promotional photos done for her upcoming business and I was happy to oblige. My first inclination in 30 degree weather was to do studio photos but after some...

We got such great photos with the models back in November with Puttapye Designs we had to do it again. This time due to the weather the photo shoot was in my studio in Albany. This was a chance to have a controlled environment and to use a few backdrops and props. The photo below is one of favorites. It’s nice when a photographer is doing a photo shoot that the...

Ladies, it’s that time of year again…time to figure out what to give that special someone for Valentine’s Day. A great idea is to give that lucky guy a set of classy but sexy photos that he will love. Many ladies like these photo sessions because it allows them to have a pin-up look that can be seen in a magazine (not something that most women do...

A did this fun fashion shoot downtown Albany, NY for a local fashion designer that should be very popular soon. This was done for publicity for her fashion line which will be featured in a local Albany newspaper (I’ll put the details up soon). Photography is fun when your subjects enjoy what they are doing and these ladies enjoyed this, despite it being one of the...
