Fun with Film

Every once in a while I get the urge to shoot some film and go Old School. It is fun when you shoot and just send off the film to the lab. You don't know what is going to come back. You actually have to wait! Yikes!! haha. As much as I love film and think that it is so beautiful, I could never go back to shooting it full time. Digital is just so flexible and incredible. Embracing technology is such a wonderful feeling. At any rate here are two recent film shots of the two little guys. These were taken with Kodak T-Max 3200, 85mm, 1.4, 1/125 (Techie stuff for other photographers!)

I love the grain!

Big Family Shoot

Sunday, one of my favorite clients had us over to shoot 17 kids for a suprise DVD slideshow for thier grandmother. 17 grandchildren ranging from 6 - 22yrs old. It was a blast. We created some wonderful portraits and captured a lot of fun behind the scenes. I have chosen to show a few of those fun shots.

Also Sue's sister made some incredible cookies that were super tasty!! MM MM MM, we were just missing a tall glass of milk :-). I put a pic of the cookies and one of me enjoying them!

Thanks everyone, I can't wait to show you the finished product.

Jennifer and Dennis - The Wedding

Bridget and I just got home from an awesome wedding today. We are exhausted. I think I lost a few pounds from sweating so much today! ewww... I know! :-) We had such a great time today. We witnessed the wedding of Jen and Denny at Heinz Chapel. We started off at the Doubletree Pittsburgh. They had a few rooms booked so we bounced between the guys and girls while they were preparing for the day. It was great for getting our signature documentary shots. I love just hanging out with people and taking pictures while they just, do what they do. It is so much fun!

Heinz Chapel, is always a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding, but it was HOT as you know what in there! Still the wedding was beautiful and so were the families and guests. The reception was held at the Carnegie Music Hall in the Museum. There were so many amazing details throughout the day.

Also, earlier in the week I went over to Jen's parent's home to take some shots of her, her daughter and her nieces in a relaxed environment. I am happy that we did this! It was great getting to meet so many people in advance. I have posted a few images from this session as well.

Thank you Jen and Denny (as well as their families and friends) for having us along for your beautiful wedding. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be in touch soon! Enjoy your honeymoon!!!

Here are a few from the day:

Kids Post

Man, I have been on a roll lately photographing beautiful kids.

Is she a cutie or what? Look at those Shirley Temple Curls. I love em!!!

Look Who's 2!!!

Happy Birthday to Brayden (Bray Bray)!! 2 years ago, today, we welcomed this little guy into the world. He truly has made it a better place to live. He has an everlasting smile and just loves to be around his brothers, mother and me. We adore him.
