The One & Only Charlie Dane

Incredible photo shoot tonight in Brooklyn with Charlie Dane. Here's a collection of some of my favorite photographs - it was hard to edit them down because there were so many great ones. Be sure to check out her latest video for "Once in a While" - it's amazing! Here's a link to Charlie's website: http://charliedane.net

Central Park Summer Portrait Heaven

A friend of mine once said about a child portrait shoot, "What you get is up to the Photo Gods." I agree with that to a certain degree. For example, some kids are cranky, shy, etc. However, I look at it a different way. If you can engage right away, get them to trust you, feel comfortable with you, then you have 80% of the work done. The remaining 20% is their personality. Well on this particular shoot, I had 100% working in my favor! The gorgeous late afternoon sunlight, beautiful happy children, and my personality to engage them - all came together for this fun series of photographs.

Carnival at Night

Almost a decade ago was the last time that I was on top of a ferris wheel. Since my kids are at sleep-away camp right now, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic about the ole' days when they were little and we'd ride the ferris wheel. I dusted off this photograph and it struck me as a beautiful night time scene. I've given it a new lease on life with painted tonalities. I really like the finished look.


Flatirons - Boulder, Colorado

Here's a selenium toned black and white fine art photograph of Boulder's iconic rock formations, The Flatirons. Did you know that The Flatirons were named by pioneer women after the flat, metal irons used to press their clothes? Images of the numbered Flatirons on Green Mountain are a ubiquitous symbol of the city of Boulder.
