Alyssa: Senior '09

I got to spend the day with the beautiful Alyssa. This girl is just plain amazing. She is the captain of her high school color guard, and has an amazing voice. Theres no doubt that one day her voice will make her famous. Along with being awesome, Alyssa was such a trooper. We shot in the cold, or maybe I should rephrase that: we shot in the freezing cold!! But she was great. = )

We spent a little time in the local laundry mat

She laughed like this the entire day = )

Gotta love some bike racks...

She decided where we would shoot...its called the abandon highway...

She brought such fun clothes

There was this awesome rusted car by the "highway"

Alyssa thank you for allowing me to hangout with you all day. Have an awesome senior year!

Rock The Vote...

As we all know this is a huge day for our country. We have the great responsibility to go out and pick a leader of this country. We all have opinions, don't you want yours to be heard?? I have seen this video all over the web and TV, and I think its great. So remember: Rock The Vote!!!!

Harry Carson Giant Football Legend

Growing up in NJ just minutes from Secaucus there’s no denying that I’m a NY Giants fan. On Saturday I got the chance to shoot none other then the NY Giants Hall of Fame member #53 Harry Carson!! Let me tell you, he is the sweetest guy you will ever meet. He was the guest speaker at the year end Gala for a company called Diska. It was such a great time. I could not have asked for any nicer of people to spend my time with.

There were so many fun details...

Since Diska has to do with the contractors union, I found the place cards to be so fitting!

Harry giving an award...

Who knew a superbowl ring would be so heavy??

Thanks for such a great shoot!!

Delle Valle

On Sunday August 3rd I had the chance to shoot the band Delle Valle. They performed at the "Stone Pony" in Asbury Park. If your from NJ, then you know that the Pony is a big deal. The band sounded awesome, and put on a great performance. Here are a few of my favorites from the night.

I love the movement in this one.

Awesome job guys! Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

San Francisco

Over the past 4 days, I have spent my time in one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. San Francisco. I could not have asked for better weather while out on the West Coast. Every day it was a high of 70. Ahhh, I love the feel of the crisp air.

the bridge is such an amazing sight.

Jess and I rode our bike built for two over the bridge

Gotta love nice people who will take your picture = )

I fell in love with this wall in Chinatown

These crabs were awesome, and I dont even eat sea food...lol

I can not wait to go back!

Word Clouds

I found this great website that allows you to type in some words and it creates "Word Clouds" I thought it was preety fun. = ) This is what I came up with.



Sorry about the size...it doesnt let you make it bigger, or atleast I couldnt figure out how to.

Sweet Sixteen

The beautiful Miss Devin turned sixteen this month, and what a better way to celebrate then a party with her family and friends. The party took place at The Raritan Yacht Club in Perth Amboy. http://www.ryc.org/ Since the party was on the water, it was only fitting to have an ocean theme.

The Birthday Girl

Dancing with her Daddy...

Aren't the fish bowl center pieces fun???

I loved the back of her dress = )

I hope she made a good wish!!

Happy Sweet Sixteen Devin!!!!

L & T'erry's Wedding

On Saturday, June 21, 2008 I got the opportunity to shoot the wedding of these two beautiful women. The ceremony took place at The Church of Saint Luke of the Fields in NYC. Unfortunately this church does not allow photos during the ceremony. L serves our country in the US Coastguard, so I will not be able to show photos of her face (being gay is till taboo in the forces), I can however show the beautiful Ms. Terry! Thank you both for allowing me to be part of your special day.

Terry waiting downstairs of the church...

Her beautiful flowers

This is L god-daughter...she liked signing the book = )

The new life partners = )

Celebrate ~ Remember ~ Fight Back

Today was the offical Passaic Valley Relay For Life. As a team we were able to raise nearly $1000!! We are all very proud, but know that it would not have been possible if we did not have all of our wonderful friends and family that donated to this great cause. This walk was to go for 17 hours straight, but due to the horrible storm that took over NJ the police department had to shut down the relay for the safety of everyone involved. We were able to walk for about 4 hours, but thats as long as the storm held off. We all can't wait to do it again next year. = )

Heres our team banner:

Our awesome team ( we are missing Steve and Valerie)

This beautiful little girl has been cancer free since April 2007!!!

Is'nt she adorable??
