Had a cool experience earlier this week as I got to shoot for a former coworker. Always great to see people from back when I had a 'real' job. It makes me miss having coworkers a little bit... but then again I'm working on a couch right now, so not too much :). Anyway, I went to Valley Forge Park to shoot some family photos for Amy's crew. Really sweet family and two little girls that get along with each other WAY better than I used to get along with my sister. Impressive feat by the Turnquists. These guys have had a big year. I'm not sure I can make some of the accomplishments public (something about women sharing their age), but we got some good stuff to commemorate 2009. I really like this set of images, hope you do too! Here's a few of my favorites...

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving :)

I just wanted to write a quick note on (early) Thanksgiving morning. If you're reading this on Thanksgiving, then you're as obsessive as I am...

Anyway, I just wanted to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all my blog-stalkers, even as some of you live in countries that have no idea what Thanksgiving is. Of the many things I have to be thankful for, those of you reading this are the reason for some of the most important ones. Whether you're a client, photographer, friend, family member or just a plain old stalker, I seriously owe an enormous THANK YOU to those of you that check out this blog, share my name with your friends, or hire us for important things in your life. I hope you all believe me when I say that in complete honesty, you are the reason I've had any success with this business and I owe each one of you for all the support over the past few years.

Hopefully some of the happy people you see on here can give a little something back to you. As always, thanks for looking!

On Friday, I was in Lancaster on another gorgeous November day. Brittany & David got married at Riverdale Manor, somewhere that I'm becoming quite familiar with. It was a phenomenal day in every way possible. Great weather, great clients, great location. Just one of those days that makes you want to shoot forever. These guys did us TONS of favors, including seeing each other before the wedding, giving us lots of time for portraits and being willing to do whatever we wanted.

With that said, I was giving the pleasure of shooting this wedding with my good friend Sam Hassas from San Jose. Sam and I have developed a good friendship over the last year or so and if it weren't for about 3,000 miles, we'd probably just go in business together. Anyway, although it was my wedding, we shot this wedding sort of as co-photographers, to get the most and best work for B&D. Make sure to check out his take on the wedding HERE. Enjoy...

Sam's shots...



Their first look. Brittany requested the shot of her falling down the stairs, but this one seemed better to me :)...



I didn't want to use any of Sam's set up shots, but this was was just TOO good...



My favorite...



The next few, Sam shot the guys, I shot the girls...







Sam's shot...















Next 2 are Sam's...


Caught B&D taking a break to cool off...

I had been to Princeton quite a few times in college, but hadn't been back for a while until the other day. I love that town, I can't believe it was my first time shooting there. Jenn and Steve hooked up with me for the day and although I can't shoot their wedding, we accomplished a lot in two hours... They're a very happy couple and we had some GORGEOUS November weather. This month has been crazy awesome for weather.

More blogging coming tomorrow, enjoy!...











These two met on a golf course, so we found one and only partially damaged their putting green...

Early this week I shot some promo stuff for the guys from Lucky Friday (download their new song free on their website). Great group of guys to spend an afternoon with. You might recognize Dave as a former groom of mine. When Dave told me he was in a band, I must've made the look that other people do when I tell them a photographer. I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was really surprised at just how good these guys are though. You definitely need to check them out. Also, a huge thanks to Valerie for coming along and help as a light holder and voice extender! Here's some of their shoot, enjoy!...

Sunday was one of the most beautiful November days I can ever remember. I was so happy to be out shooting. Any day like that is a photographer's dream. Dawn and Anthony came up from Virginia for the weekend and met us at Bartram's Garden, a great spot overlooking the city. Here's a few of my favorites...




Oh, and this is Reggie...

One of my favorites...












Although I love it, I take absolutely no credit for this shot. Amy picked the location, and when I saw it, I knew I wanted to shoot my version of a shot from one of my favorites, Ben Chrisman...

If you like Dawn and Anthony (or the photos), the comment box is right below :)

I've had so many good shoots lately. Lot's of cool stuff to share here in the next few days. If the photo above doesn't tell you anything, then hopefully the one below does. Erin & Tim are complete goofballs. We braved some chilly (but luckily not rainy) Thursday weather and ran around some of my old stomping grounds in Wayne, PA. Big thanks to Kirby for coming along and helping me out with everything! Hopefully you enjoy these as much as I do... take some time and let this first image load, it's pretty special :)...
