New York Family Photos – April 2012, Series 1
During my spring visit to NYC, I had the pleasure of doing some wonderful family portraits, including both my traditional photojournalist-style portraiture, as well as my new 3D coverage. Locations spanned Riverside Park on the Upper West Side to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, and spring was abloom!
3D Sample Reel Has Arrived
When I put together the Sawyers‘ 3D reel, I was sensitive to making sure the photos worked in the format. It was a new and tricky procedure to shoot in stereo, as the subject of the photo needed to be relatively centered in not one but *two* slightly different frames. With moving child and baby chick subjects, not to mention the added complexity of shooting on a telephoto lens (had to be further back from the action than I’d normally prefer), shooting in 3D had me stretching my compositional and timing skills to the max.

Newborn Portraiture – Jan. & Feb. Giveaways
The arrival of your baby is monumental — it’s one of the few times in your life that practically everything is put on hold so that you can prepare the way for this precious new life to begin. While this time will inevitably be ripe with questions and newness, it is important to make a point to try to drink in the experience, no matter how sleep-deprived you are. Your child will only be a few days old this one time; the days will quickly turn to months and years. Everyone should get a document of when they were counting the days and hours, measuring the moments, when all else in life is on “pause.”
For the months of January and February 2012, I am offering a weekly drawing for a newborn session for a family in the Cleveland area. The winner will receive an in-home shoot* of their newborn baby, online proofing, and one digital file of their choosing. The drawing is for parents (new clients only) whose due date falls within that week, and the shoot must be scheduled within the first 12 days after the baby is born to qualify. It’s my way of helping Cleveland families relish and savor one of the most glorious moments of their lives — the arrival of a precious new baby.
Merry Christmas 2011
What a fabulous holiday season! I received bunches of gorgeous holiday cards sent from my clients using photos from our shoot together. Some of my favorites are shown here.
And, this year, I offered metal photo Christmas ornaments in a number of designs. I’ve wanted to provide an ornament option for a long time, but wanted something cool and classy. A plastic ball with a photo pasted on was not going to cut it, but it seemed to be all that was out there. When I discovered these photographs printed on metal and then die-cut into various ornament shapes, I knew I had found something special enough for my esthetically discerning clientele.
Thanks to all of my clients, I had the opportunity to serve many families with the gift of photography this year. I want all of you to know how much I appreciate your love of capturing and savoring your families on camera. It makes it possible for me to have a career doing what I love. I hope this wonderful time of year reconnects you with family and all that is important to you. Looking forward to more photo adventures in 2012.
