My Baby Brother got Married

On December 27th my baby brother, Josh, married the love of his life, Kristine. It was a beautiful day and I was lucky enough to be there to take the pictures for him. To make it even better our baby sister was my second shooter. I gave her my backup camera and set her on her way and for her first time using a DSLR she did a fanatastic job.













One advantage to taking pictures for family... You might not get paid but when else does the groom carry your tripod, or does the sister of the groom fill in as a second shooter and you don't have to feel guilty..

Tis the season

Well I couldn't let this year pass without snapping a shot of our Christmas tree, so i drug out the trusty tripod and snapped a few. You might be wonder why I needed a tripod, well the setting on this shot were ISO 100, f/22 ss 15 seconds



I was able to considerably shorten that time by bumping the ISO up to 500 for this one still f/22 but only a 4 second exposure



of course they would look nicer without the surround sound speaker in there, or if i straightened the tree skirt, or if the sofa was not in the way.. but you get the idea..

One HOT Mama to be on one really COLD Day

Even thought it was only int he 20's today "E" was a trooper and we headed over to Valley Forge Park to do some maternity pics for her. The belly Monster as she affectionately refers to her little boy #2 is due in about a month.


"E" is beautiful to begin with but she has that amazing Pregnancy glow now on top of all that beauty. I can't wait to meet the Belly monster and do some newborn shots for you next month...

Three more Christmas Angels

I got to got take the chance to take some Christmas card pictures for a coworker. She has the sweetest little girls and now she has a sweet 6 month old puppy to add to the mix.
