The best part of working as a photographer is trying something new. I had a great shoot in the park with three handsome brothers. It was a beautiful day and everyone was in a great mood. We spent an hour trying different poses, very relaxed and comfortable with the creek running behind us. When I [...]

In the middle of a four-hour Bar Mitzvah shoot, I stopped and thought about what I was doing. The room was crowded, the lights were low, the guests were dancing, swirling around the floor, and my job was to capture moments, creating still photos out of frenzy. Here’s a sampling of a very fun night.
Down by the river, the boats seemed far away, and the wind was blowing. I wasn't planning to take my camera out of my bag as I watched my sons row. And then, the faces of the kids captured my eye…
People always ask, what do you like to shoot? Performances and actors' portraits might be my favorite. Finding a character who responds to my camera is my favorite gig. It's great to make a connection, and it's even more exciting to motivate subjects to push beyond their everyday facade. Photography energizes me, and when there [...]
Wednesday night, I photographed Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, and yesterday, Rabbi Fred Reiner posed for me in the sanctuary. Less than 24 hours separated the events, which gave me the idea for today’s blog headline. Both shoots were great! Here are the photos..

Bright Lights, Big City… Local artist Lena Frumin has been busy in her studio painting cityscapes for the auction for Alice Deal Junior High School. Her work is beautiful…take a trip around the world with her and see for yourself.
Repeat clients are the best. Over the years, you develop a rhythm, a voice, and a vision together. Laurie Gonyea and I were two moms back in elementary school when we met and started working together. She has a knitting business, Knit Outta the Box, which sells all different kinds of kits from baby sweaters [...]
My mother-in-law reminded me — just a couple of hundred times — that I hadn't taken a family photo of my own kids in years. Well, the cobblers kids don't have shoes, either… My children balk and battle me when I want to photograph them. With all the resistance, I wasn't in a hurry to [...]
