  • Studio Fun!

  • I am currently taking a portraiture class at NESOP with my father where we are learning different lighting techniques in the studio.  The Snow Family was kind enough to help us practice our high key lighting set-up. We had a lot of fun with fans, props, tunes and even a little dancing.  I cou[...]
  • Sweet

  • I came across a photo over the holidays of a Christmas tree where the lights were in the shapes of little stars.  It was such a magical effect and I knew I had to try to recreate it.  I found an online tutorial on how to make your own filter to shape the bokeh (the pretty blurry background).  I figu[...]
  • Snow Day

  • If you're anything like me you were probably a little disappointed when the Groundhog saw his shadow.  While I am ready for warmer days, I must admit that snow sure can be pretty.  It blankets the city in a beautiful calm while it's falling (when you have to start shoveling out parking spots, that's[...]

Also, I am pleased to announce that Ja[...]
  • Gobble Gobble!

  • To celebrate Thanksgiving this year I tried my hand at another festive cupcake.  The recipe for these little caramel turkeys can be found here.  I still haven't decided if they are cute or creepy :-) Hope everyone has a very delicious Thanksgiving and a Happy Hanukkah!
  • Happy Birthday Grace

  • It is crazy to think little Grace is already one!  Mom Julie asked if I would shoot Grace's First Birthday Party and I was more than happy to do so.  I enjoy shooting Grace because her joy is infectious.  I took many pictures at her party and I swear she was smiling or laughing in almost every shot![...]
