Nathan and Katie

So I recently photographed a friend's baby shower that was certainly atypical. Hosted at an art venue called "Stage on Herr," it was a hip and low-key atmosphere, in a room with a long wooden bar which was engulfed by a flood of actual sunlight. If that alone was not enough of a swim against the usual flow of baby showers there were also no frilly decorations or corny games, and the festivities were surrounded by works of art covering the walls and a stage ready to embrace whichever band would play there next. The best part was the couple and the new baby we were celebrating.

Erin

It was time for a portrait session for my lovely friend, Erin. We had fun photographing at the train station, a place I've used as a backdrop before. Here's the result...I love the train station, and Erin looks great :)

Kim

Once again I was given the honor of capturing another woman's pregnancy beauty through photographs. Kim is expecting child number 3 and looks fabulous doing it.

Attic Studios

I had a fantastic opportunity to photograph in Attic Studios. It is a state-of-the-art, super hip recording studio, hailing out of Harrisburg, PA, and is managed by one of the most uber-talented musicians and songwriters I know, Nathan Horst. He so kindly invited me to photograph some of his space, filled with the tools of the trade, some recognizable, and some not-so-recognizable, instruments and gear, a sure sign of musical minds and talents whom had gathered to record that day. Thank you Nathan. A link to Attic Studios website is coming soon.

Ruehl

Little Bean! Finally, Chris and Yana's littlest, big gift has arrived. The pure joy of the new mom and dad could only be out-matched by the perfection of their first son, Ruehl. I am honored to be asked to photograph the 9-day old, and I hope the photos have truly captured the spirit and potential of this little man of destiny.

Pregonista

Yes, I did coin my own new term. Will it enter into the ever-burgeoning flow of senseless slang of current pop-culture? Probably not, but its my way of complimenting my beautiful, stylish friend Yana who is almost 9 months pregnant and still more gorgeous than ever. I somehow always get blessed with people and environments that make it difficult to take a bad picture...this is no different.

Rae and Dan

Masquerade wedding! Custom masks and a mad hatter cake set the tone for Rae and Dan's elegant soiree. Rain couldn't spoil the wedding day, with a gorgeous bride and groom, and a moody yet classy backdrop. I couldn't have successfully captured the event without the unequaled talent of my assistant Kathy Martin (www.kathymartinphotography.com) Congratulations Rae and Dan. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
