All Grown Up!

It’s Senior Picture time again Kiddos, and it’s always amazing when friends or relatives call to have their son or daughter schedule a visit to my Studio. I guess it really lets me know how fast the years are flying by! During today’s downpours I had the pleasure to shoot Tia’s Senior Portrait here at the 211 Studio. I’ve known her since she was born, as our families have been very close friends for years. It’s amazing, her transformation into a pretty, young woman. It seems just like yesterday when I was shooting some ‘Sister” portraits of Tia and her younger sister on the playground of a local grade school! Wow!

E.C.C. ²

Elyse & Matt – 07/18/15 – Elmira College Campus – Elmira Country Club.
My approach to shooting Weddings has always been to compartmentalize all the different segments of the fun day and really concentrate on only the moments at hand.
…Getting Ready – Ceremony – Formals – and FUN OUTSIDE! That’s where we are here. While at both of these pretty locations, Fun people having a Great time ALWAYS combine with my eye & my ideas and together it’s a lock that we’ll come away with Fantastic Shots that tell the story of your exciting day! Believe me, It Happens EVERY Weekend!

Cayuga Driftwood

Here’s a couple of my favorite shots from Stephanie & Jeff’s Great Wedding today up at Sheldrake Point & Trumansburg. The light was PERFECT! Sometimes Wedding Couples think that if the Wedding Day is not bright sunshine the pictures will come out poorly. Just the opposite is true. A nice cloud cover is the perfect softbox to provide nice, even lighting! Today was a Great Day for shooting and these are just the tip of the bounty! Beautiful people, great locations, fantastic interactions with family & friends……we were hitting on all cylinders today baby!!!

“Mr. Hollywood” & “Governor Bridgegate”

This weekend’s Wedding of Jillianne & Damen at the Elmira Country Club was a Star Studded Event for sure! The Grooms Dad, Ray, was a dead ringer for Hollywood Heartthrob George Clooney in 20 years. He also had a little Dick Van Dyke thrown in there, so for the rest of the weekend we settled on simply calling him “Mr. Hollywood” which he really ate up!!!
Then, we have the guest on the right, who was a dead ringer for NJ Governor Chris Christie! He even told me later in the evening that he was pulled over once by Pennsylvania State Troopers for speeding, and after they approached the car & he rolled down his window & looked pissed off…..they both started stammering and apologized to the Governor for wasting his time with the mistaken traffic stop! He didn’t say a word & they never even asked for his license! LOL
I sure can pick those Celebrity Look-A-Likes! One of the fun parts of this job!
