Hundreds of families go door-to-door asking for candy, showing off their costumes and being scared from the many haunted houses that adorn my street. Since this was the first Halloween in our new house, I wanted to introduce my photography business to the neighborhood. And rather…

    Setting up a photo booth on Halloween is a terrific idea! I hope you get a lot of business because of it… and it’s a wonderful gift to the families who participated. I also want to let you know that I think you did an outstanding job with the photo shoot for my family; Scott, Manpreet and of course, my grandson, Liam!! You are really talented. The photos are sooo special and gorgeous. Grandpa and Grammy Day had their heart’s melt while viewing the shots! Thank you for a magical and permanent reminder of a very special time in our lives.

Remembering 9/11: We Can’t Forget

In a couple of days, it will be 10 years since I watched the world change. September 11 has become an iconic day for everyone. We remeber where we were in that moment when a plane went thru the World Trade Center. We remember the men and woman jumping to their deaths. Β We remember how…

John & Me

It’s pretty customary that people take photos of their kids on the first day of school right? Well, John and I have no kids yet, but we are both in education. So a couple of weeks ago, one of my dearest friend’s, Jen Disney came over to practice some off camera lighting. John wanted to…

    These are wonderful! The one of the two of you is gorgeous. Jen doesn’t look like she needs to practice off-camera flash πŸ˜‰ But.. maybe she can give me a couple pointers!

  • GailSeptember 7, 2011 - 8:27 pm

    Oh my goodness I love these photos SOOOO much! Jen, you did a WONDERFUL job! Amber, you are so sweet and your goodness just shines in these photos. And John, I SO wish I could have met you! I don’t know if Amber told you, but I did a little bow in front of your bookshelves. Any gentleman with a love of the written word is a friend of mine πŸ˜‰

    You two are cute. And I WILL photograph you some day. I WILL.

The Way I Move

I LOVE to exercise. I love to move. When I am stressed out, there is nothing better than a good workout. Growing up I tried almost every sport, from gymnastics to ice skating, and I was never really good at any of them. I was the smart kid and my brother got all the athletic…
