Holiday portrait sessions

I'm still a bit swamped, so I'm combining a few favorite images from two different sessions. Some might call it lazy... I prefer to call it efficient!

Dustin and Cathy got married!

I've been very busy lately and struggling a little to keep up.
Dustin and Cathy, here is your slideshow, and tomorrow (actually, later today) I'll post some additional images to go with it.
Starbucks brought us together...there can be no greater bond. :)

Reception: The Modern Maturity Center

Timeless family portraits

Paula (Mom) contacted me after attending an event that reenforced the importance of family portraits. The details aren't important for this post, but the message is.
It's very easy to postpone having your family photographed - we're all very busy.
And that's fine, until something tragic happens, and we realize that all of those things that kept us so busy weren't nearly as important as we thought. If you asked most people this question: "If your house was on fire, and you could only take one thing (as in non-breathing thing, of course) - what would it be?" Family photographs would be the unanimous answer, I'd bet.
To sum this up - don't put it off any longer.
Paula didn't, and look what we got...

Taylor's senior portraits

Taylor's Mom came with Matt's Mom to view the results of his senior portrait session. Click "October 2006" in the Archives (if you missed them)...

She liked that Matt's images weren't the "same old" senior portraits. So naturally, when we did Taylor's outdoor session, that was the goal. Actually, that's always my goal. I think we were successful!

Hannah's Senior pics

Hannah and her family are old friends. We did her session, and when her Mom saw the results - she wanted a session of their son too. Lots of great images, and here are a few...

Justin and Julie got married!

If you didn't see their engagement images - you can see them here...

Back to the present - here are some of my favorites from their wedding, and of course you can...

Great weather, happy people - a great day.
Special props to Erin and the crew at The Duncan Center

This was my first reception there, and they were awesome.

Family Portraits at the beach

Kathy and her family came to me as winners of the silent auction held every year by the Dover chapter of "Mom's House".
From their website:
Founded in 1983 in Johnstown, PA, by Peg and a group from Citizens Concerned for Human Life, Mom’s House® offers single parents, facing an unplanned pregnancy, with a viable, practical alternative to the despair of abortion and the tragedy of welfare.
They do good things! The website is: Mom's House


We did the session in Lewes, DE and really got some great images!
Here is a sampling...

Portraits on The Green

I've known Amy for years now, and I'm proud to be her "family photographer". Every time I photograph them, it's better than the last!
Here are some of our favorites.

Matt's awesome senior portraits

This is Matt. When his Mom told him about the senior portrait session she was scheduling, he didn't put up a fight. I don't think he was thrilled about it...initially.
But, when he realized it wasn't going to be the same old photo session - he came around. :)

Little Kaiden's first session

Well, this is the first session that I've photographed him. As it happens so often, our subject was not "feeling it". But, we hung in there and got some great images, and ended up with an awesome collage...if I do say so myself.
