Garden Vineyards is one of the most beautiful vineyards! Jennifer and Robert had a great wedding, Jennifer made some drapes (you can see in one of the photos) and they really added to the ambiance. It was hot, and even the cat had to sneak in for a drink

Here are some recent pregnancy portraits. I do a lot of artistic and creative stuff but also do some studio portraits to provide a good coverage.

Here are some new portraits I wanted to share. Jennifer and his family came from out of town to have some portraits taken.

I met Deb at a wedding I was shooting and she retained me to shoot some portraits of her daughter.
Portrait side of my business is really busy right now. I really enjoy working with families and children, and most of my clients find me through the weddings I shoot and word of mouth. I will be releasing my new portrait website soon, so look out for that.
By the way, my wedding clients currently get free sittings for portraits, maternity, new borns etc., so inquire about the details of that!
Here are couple photos from this session:


Sometimes when you shop the internet for cameras, you find some amazing “deals”. It is very tempting to buy from them, but you should always check the following sites.

for these companies.
Also, a lot of these companies are in Brooklyn, NY and are in fact the same shop operating under different names and they force you to buy extras, or sell you super overpriced accessories and unless you do, suddenly they are out of stock.
Here are what some of the stores look like:

Some of my favorite places to buy are :

This was my second time at Wine Country Farm - it has some really nice views! Their son was an avid photographer-to-be as well so we had to compete a bit *j/k*.
Here are the photos:








Garden Vineyards is such a beautiful location and it is a shame I didn’t shoot there before. Jodi and David’s wedding went very smoothly and we got great shots.
Here are the shots:

Sometimes you really hit it off with some couples and Holly & Rocco was one of them. I had a great time with them at the wedding. The details were great - Blush Bridal did a fantastic job and the flowers were awesome as well (Francoise Weeks)
