Before I do the Halloween thing, I want to say congratulations to my wonderful friends Nicole and Dari. Their twin girls were born around 11:30 this morning. Eva and Leah (hope I spelled them right), I cant wait to meet you! ok… I know that a lot of adults are irritated by Halloween. It’s a …

YAAAYYYYY! The last time the Phillies won the World Series, I was two months old. This time around, I turn the baby luck over to my friend Nicole’s twins, who arent here right now, but will be in a few hours! Anyway, tonight was really exciting for us Philly folk. The Phillies just won their …

My dog is the absolute greatest. She’s 7 years old but she still acts like a puppy – like a baby actually, and she is so so easygoing. She could care less that I stuck my speedlight softbox in her face to get these photos. And let me just tell you how convenient that little …

This has nothing to do with photography, but I am so so so excited. Last night I ordered my Mini Cooper!!!! YAY! I swear whoever created this car had me in mind, because this is KAREN’S CAR. I mean, what other car do you look at and say “awww” Anyway, the photo above is the …

I was practicing some more with my Westcott speedlight kit as well as the background fabric I just got. Im still so happy with the improvement of light since I got that mini softbox. These were of Laura, I just had her sit on my bed and i put up the velvety-suede-like background fabric behind …

My grandmom and I went to this Greek festival yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasnt really what we expected. We thought there’s be more going on, so I really didnt shoot a lot there. There was food, however, good food and good desserts. Brought back this Baklava for mom, but of course I had to shoot it …

I really give a lot of credit to sports shooters. It’s not easy. Your subjects tend to be moving, ya know? And fast. I was shooting my brother and about 20 of his friends playing some football this weekend. Since I was wandering on the field, it was a balance between getting good close shots …

My Westcott speedlight kit came today – which is basically a light stand, soft box, and the appropriate brackets to attach my sb-800 to the stand and use it as a mini studio light. It also came with the apollo micro, which is a teeny softbox that fits over the flash when it’s mounted on …

Was over Amanda’s on Sunday, and for once, I didnt want to photograph baby Madison – I wanted to photograph Amanda – and I think they came out great! Her house has the best light ever it’s like a giant softbox. In fact, If i ever buy a house, I think that’s going to be …
