The Smith Family Portraits in Pittsford NYAugust 24th, 2010

These are my favorites from the multiple family portrait session. I love the life and reality of these images… these are the types of images I wish I had of my family growing up. My biggest memory of my Dad was wrestling with him after he got home from work! We were all laughs and chases and tackling, including myself. At one point, I think I had 4 of the 5 boys jump on my back.

yin and yangSeptember 4th, 2009

Unfortunately, life isn’t full of only puppies and rainbows. There has been a lot of sadness in my own life this year and now also to the Romano family. Last weekend I photographed Trisha & Neil’s wedding and I am so sad to report that Trisha’s cousin, Nathan, was hit by a car this week and passed away. My heart and my thoughts are with the entire family during this extraordinary time.

Billone Family Portraiture in Rochester, NYJuly 9th, 2009

Well, with all of this rain coming and going and going and coming, we kept throwing around the idea of rescheduling yet again this Family Portrait Session. Lucky for me, the Billones are very very relaxed and not afraid of a few sprinkles! Honestly, I was actually hoping for just a bit of rain to see what kind of silly images we could create together…

Modern PhotographersMay 4th, 2009

Just a quick update today to let everyone know that I have been accepted into both the Wedding Photo Journalist Association (WPJA) and the Modern Photographers (which own Trash the Dress)! This is a great honor for me as these two organizations are International and require approval, unlike most organizations which just let us pay our way in!
