Martha and Justin welcomed Marissa into this world last week and I had the oppotunity to come to their home for a newborn lifestyle session. I always like coming to peoples homes for newborn sessions. The pictures are so much more organic than what we do here in the studio. I had to share a few quick shot from this session.

Earlier this week we were made aware that the Knot named us in there best of Weddings 2011 for Pennsylvania and Delaware and although we have never been the kind of photographers that seek out recognition from our peers It was an honor to be given recognition for the work we are so passionate about. One of the great things about this recognition is that it was derived from the data collected from our clients. We do our best to treat all of our brides like they are the only clients we have and this is testament that we are conveying that to the people we work with.

2011 was a fantastic year and we can’t wait to get going with 2012.

Big thank you to the knot for such a distinction.

October is not typically the time of year that we get a foot of snow in PA but I just had to share a quick picture from a wedding this past Saturday in the Poconos. It was the kind of heavy snow that just sticks to the trees and I couldn’t help but use it as a backdrop for some wonderful portraits of this fun couple.

Had to post a few quick shots from this Trash The Dress session this week. Loved the architecture that we used for these pictures.

It was raining the day of this session so we had to climb into this old furnace in Scranton.

Too much fun…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It should be illegal to have this much fun with a camera.

The month of October always feels like the perfect storm for me as we get slammed with sessions all month long. This month we have 17 engagement sessions on the books for our 2012 clients and we are half way though them as I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. Blogging duties have taken a back seat as I am on the road most of the month seeing the country and what a great time of year to be traveling. I love Autumn so much as it feels like someone has painted the countryside in the Northeast.

For now all I have time for is a few quick pictures of this great couple I’m looking forward to working with next year.

Tonya & Tyler were really a pleasure to work with this year. Our session with them was rained out twice so scheduling became difficult but finally we were able to spend an evening with them shooting their TTD session. Every time we have the opportunity to do a session like this it makes me a happy photographer.

Here is a quick sneak peak from their session this week. We found an old flooded out river bank for the majority of these pictures in Upstate NY.

I loved everything about this location.

Yesterday I happened to have my point and shoot camera on me and had to take a few pictures of my son as he is changing like a weed. For a month or so now we have been noticing that his right eye is changing color. Really the blue eyes were the last piece of DNA he seems to have from me. As he gets older he is beginning to be a clone of my wife.

 

Words can’t express the joy we have with this little one.

He is our sunshine baby.

Every now and then I get the urge to post pictures that were so unscripted they may not make it on this blog. This series was taken in an old wedding carriage after the wedding on the way to the reception. I love having the opportunity to photograph images like this because often this kind of thing gets overlooked on a wedding day. Honestly, as a photographer I wait for these moments.

I shot Jessica & Jeff’s wedding in Delaware last year and one of the things I love is meeting up with my clients when they have their first child. For this session I was brought down to Jersey shore a few days before the hurricane hit a few weeks ago. I met up with their family and spent the day photographing their beautiful son.

It’s always nice to get out of the studio every now and then to photograph newborns especially when I get to sit on the beach for a few days when I’m done.

Justin & Jessica were married a few weeks ago at the Scranton Cultural Center a few blocks away from my studio so pretty cool to be working so close to home on a rainy Saturday here in PA. Can’t really say much about how laid-back this entire day was. Jessica’s family was so wonderful to work with that morning. I can’t say enough about how kind they were to us the whole day.

 

I loved so much about this wedding It was hard to pick a few images to put on the blog today. This was one of those weddings where everything just went perfectly.

I wish I had time to post more from this wedding but I have a crib waiting for me to put together tonight.

Our son has officially grown out of the bassinet.
