Danielle (& Joe) | Maternity

This is one of my first ever remote blogs. I’m currently in a plane (or just landed) in Vegas for a photography conference. In the meantime, I wanted to share these shots that we got yesterday for Danielle & Joe. These guys are already married, but were going to have a ceremony back home this summer. Then, Walla!, a new baby was on the way. So, instead of a wedding, we have a belly. We had fun hanging out around West Chester, and getting fun stuff. Hope you enjoy… I’ll blog some Vegas pics soon if possible :)…

Amy’s shot…

Angela & Steve | Engagement (at an Ice Rink!)

Categories: Engagement Tags: allentown engagement photography, ice rink engagement session 4 comments

Note to everyone: Coming back from Hawaii is a system shocker. Life is different, weather is colder and the trees are less ‘palm-like’.

Note to self: Ice rinks are colder than they appear.

I had a lot of fun with Angela and Steve yesterday. They had a pretty sweet idea and found an ice rink that let us have it all to ourselves! We did everything but ride the zamboni… good times. These guys are getting married later this year. These are fun people + me liking fun people = Me liking these people. Enjoy the pics!

jenny - after my sister’s wedding i always like coming back to check your genius work every once in a while, i really like the one where they’re sitting on the ice, it reminds me of a Mondrian painting…very nice

March 4, 2010 - 10:57 am

Tony Hoffer - Actually, the extremely thoughtful ice-keeper (is that a word?) didn’t put water on the ice so it was easier to get around in shoes.

Oh, and Tiffany, you can’t change your email to your married name until you’re actually married :)

March 4, 2010 - 10:54 am

Tiffany - I was wondering that too. Great pics.

March 4, 2010 - 10:28 am

Doug - Fantastic..did you wear skates during the shoot at the rink? :)

The Good and the Bad…

Categories: Personal 1 comment

Working the way we do, we’re often blessed to get to know people pretty well very quickly. One of the families that I’ve gotten to know really well over the last year just sent me a note that I wanted to pass along to the blog world. There’s nothing better than having people value my work, but as much as I appreciate it, I hope this doesn’t come off in that way. In my many interactions with the family over the past months, I’ve gotten to feel pretty invested. So this email was hardhitting for me in both good and bad ways. I’m changing the names to Jack and Jill…

“Believe it or not, I’ve just gotten around to getting the photo framed and it looks unbelievable. ‘Jack’ is still getting over the shock of it all. It just looks so incredible. Some day when you are in the area you should stop by and admire your work. It has more meaning than most will ever know – our family treasures it.

Unfortunately, we just found out in January that ‘Jill’ is very ill and needs to go in for major surgery next month. It’s really serious, but she has such a strong, positive and beautiful spirit that we know she will fight this. Looking at the photo reminds her daily of how much she loves life and how each day is a gift. It means the world to all of us. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for all of the beautiful photos of the kids.”

Many of you have probably seen her smiling face on here, so If you’re the praying type (and I hope you are), send out a prayer for her. A great girl from a great family.

Gene L - A very touching story Tony. A good photo is the essence of spirit, which lives whenever someone views it with an understanding heart. Your client/friend is certainly in my prayers, I hope she recovers fully and quickly.

Announcing Winners!

Categories: Business| Personal 7 comments

Ok, so I’ll admit that I threw the Hawaii contest together haphazardly… Things I didn’t expect:

1. So many votes (THANKS!)
2. Having to actually pick a winner
3. Not liking the photos that you guys did… haha

So originally, Amy and I were going to just use whichever photo won. It was a tie between this one…

…and this one…

But, we really kept thinking that a different photo would look better in our house. We ended up choosing a B&W because we thought it would hold up better and would match any wall. Also, we both just really liked it. Here is the winning photo, which was number 15, after final edits…

SO, we then decided we were going to pick someone who picked the same photo as us… sort of a reward for reading our minds. What we weren’t expecting was to get a vote from our youngest commenter ever, a 4 1/2 month old baby whose parents have spent time in Hawaii… With all that said, it pleases me to announce that the winner is this little guy, Malachi. The only person to win a print bigger than he is! Congrats little buddy…

I’m getting my nose back to the grindstone this week with a maternity and engagement session. Stay tuned!

Paolo - “The only person to win a print bigger than he is!” LOL! Good job Malachi…The Force runs strong in you.

March 2, 2010 - 12:46 am

brett maxwell - aw, common, you don’t want a giant canvas featuring a guy with a fong dong on a bracket pointed straight ahead outdoors? it would be good for lots of laughs!

March 1, 2010 - 10:04 pm

Danae - Ahh! This is the one I want in MY house! :) Third one on my list…as soon as I get those old windows from June…..it’ll look great in one of those panes!

March 1, 2010 - 5:42 pm

Stephanie Ball - Shoot. That’s the one I picked. If only I were 4 months old instead.
I picked it because it was in the spirit of Ansel Adams and also because I know what your house looks like and thought it would also fit best.
Next time…

March 1, 2010 - 1:30 pm

June - Shoot. I MEANT to vote for this one ;) It’s awesome!

March 1, 2010 - 12:38 pm

Malachi - Thanks for picking me! I’m pretty excited and I’m sure my mom and dad are too. =) Hopefully I’ll get to see you and Amy again soon!

March 1, 2010 - 11:39 am

Jonathan Rochin - I was wondering how it would turn out. Always hard to pick the “right” picture to hang when you don’t know “where” it will go. You made a good choice. All the pictures were great.

Hawai’i (!!!!!!)

Categories: Business| Personal Tags: black rock, hawaii vacation photos, kaanapali, maui, road to hana 151 comments

Guess who’s back? Back again? Blog is back. Tell a friend…

Once again, I’d like to apologize to all my faithful blog-stalkers for the mini blogging hiatus. It’s been a long, long time since I took a week off from my blog. I had no idea how much that would affect the daily procrastination of many of you. If there was more work done this past week, I take full responsibility. Anyway, I’ve got some pretty exciting photos to share with you….

WE WENT TO HAWAI’I!!! Amy and I took our first non-work vacation since our honeymoon to celebrate 5 years since we first got together. We stayed for a week in Maui, which was incredible. SO much to see. We’re very thankful for all of our Facebook friends who recommended some great things to do. I’m not going to recap our entire vacation, (I can do that in person with you sometime) but I will share a bunch of photos.

***** CONTEST ALERT *****
Before I get to the photos, I have a contest to announce. When I appeared in Rangefinder the other month, the company I use for canvas prints, Simply Canvas, offered me a free 40×60 canvas print. We’ve been waiting for our Hawai’i trip to get something printed on our walls. So, I’m numbering all the photos for you to vote on. To vote, simply leave a comment at the end of the post with what number photo you like the best.

One of the voters will be randomly picked to win a FREE 20×30 print of your choice (typically $100)! It’s as easy as leaving a comment!

Lastly, since I had a bunch of people asking the last time I did something similar, I’m also making these photos available for purchase. If you’re interested in buying any of them, you can GO HERE and do so.

Enjoy the pics, there’s a lot! The numbers are for the photo immediately following it.

Erin - 13. Holy Moley Tony! I’m not sure where you plan to hang this print, but 13 epitomizes Hawaii to me. I made it the background on my computer with hopes that it will make spring/summer come sooner!

March 1, 2010 - 8:32 am

Erin - 13. Holy Moley Tony! Not sure where this print is going in your house, but 13 seems to epitomize Hawaii. I made it the background on my computer. Anything to help this winter go faster!

March 1, 2010 - 8:00 am

amanda - #1- I know a lot of people said it before, but I look at it and just exhale. I feel like I’m IN the picture. Very calming and the colors are really pretty.

March 1, 2010 - 7:54 am

February 28, 2010 - 1:34 pm

Rob - opps…I meant 1, 14, 24

February 28, 2010 - 11:54 am

February 27, 2010 - 11:33 am

Danae - The last one of Amy is the one! Ok, my real votes: #1 and #25 because they are both very romantic and captivating. I could probably stare at them for hours! However — #15 is the next one I’m adding to my list of photos from you for my wall whenever I get around to purchasing those old windows from June! I love the detail in that one.

February 27, 2010 - 11:30 am

Tonia - Such decisions! My favorites are 1, 3 and 14 but I think I am going with 14 as my favorite. Glad you & Amy had a fantastic trip – amazing pictures as always!

February 27, 2010 - 11:28 am

Shannon - I wish I knew what color scheme the room is where this picture will go, because all of the pictures are simply exquisite, it’s difficult to choose. I would say #32 is black&white will go well. otherwise, I love #5 for a color shot!

February 27, 2010 - 10:48 am

Erin Michelle - First of all, I am SO jealous you guys went whale watching and actually SAW A WHALE! My vote goes to #12. Amazing.

Jonathan Fletcher - Hard to choose since they are all so awful, but #2.

February 26, 2010 - 11:34 pm

Anita Wingard - 7 and 29 are my favorites

February 26, 2010 - 10:14 pm

Matt Schreier - 25 & 11 are amazing and I think would really look great on a wall i mean a canvas. But I guess its going to seem like a wall with how big you are going!!! Awesome pics my friend. Truely amazing.

Naomi Figueroa - I’m a sucker for waterfalls…#25 (think it would look killer in B&W, just sayin). But I have a special request for you to photoshop Figs and me in there–I’m gonna pose as Kate Austen and he’ll be Sayid…yup, these shots definitely look like you visited some LOST sites. Definitely jealous!

February 26, 2010 - 7:43 pm

Rachel Reyes - so since i posted my vote on the wrong site- – lol

#15

crossing my fingers… i hope i win! :)

February 26, 2010 - 7:08 pm

Todd - I feel like a kid in a candy store. These are all sweet. If I had to pick one that would go perfect in my house, it would be #5. But the shot that truly makes me feel like I’m IN Hawaii is #1. Absolutely superb!

February 26, 2010 - 5:43 pm

junk_bond - #18 or 26 are my choices. Great shots!!

February 26, 2010 - 5:16 pm

Stephanie Ball - shoot. I just spent all this time on a clever post and it got erased somehow.
Basically, I give you my top three choices:

#15
#30
and #7

And indicate my jealousy at Kara being able to invite herself over for a slideshow and pizza.

Love,
Birdie

February 26, 2010 - 4:48 pm

Tyson Egbert - Lucky! #2 for me. I love it! I would love to go there some day.

Lisa - I think I meant 12, where the guy is lighting the torch…

February 26, 2010 - 4:08 pm

February 26, 2010 - 4:00 pm

amydale - 2, 10, or 11.
each are such pure captures of the natural beauty.

February 26, 2010 - 2:39 pm

Lauren - I like #2 and I also like #32..not because of the recent whale attack…

February 26, 2010 - 2:12 pm

elizabeth heppard - looks like your trip was amazing! i pick #27 :-)

February 26, 2010 - 2:09 pm

Allison - #1 because it reminds me of Hawaii and it captures it so well> it would look great as a large canvas. I love 23 & 27, but it would depend on where you end up hanging the canvas.

February 26, 2010 - 2:01 pm

Jill Dougherty - LOVE all the pictures!! They are fantastic!! Hope you guys had an awesome time!

#1 is my favorite, closely followed by #9!!!

February 26, 2010 - 1:57 pm

February 26, 2010 - 1:56 pm

Emma - i’ve been scrolling up and down for like 20 minutes…all these photos are amazing!!!!

But i THINK 17, 25 and 26 are my top 3 and if i have to pick just one of those 3…i’d say, 17. i think it captures so much…the clouds, the rocks, the mountains and the ocean.

as always i love seeing your work! looks like you and amy had an amazing time…and how could you not?! it’s hawaii!!

February 26, 2010 - 1:54 pm

February 26, 2010 - 12:57 pm

Emily Joy - I would have to say that either 4 (if you want color) or 26 (for bw) would look great as a canvas print! I’m a long time stalker but I haven’t been bold enough to comment until offered a prize to do so :-)

Congratulations on your five year anniversary!

(Yes, I do feel silly about posting the comment on the wrong entry… maybe this is why I don’t comment much!)

February 26, 2010 - 12:53 pm

Emily - 1,5,25 are my favorites. for something to specifically remember hawaii i say 1, but 5 is great just as a picture with endless interpretations/meanings.

February 26, 2010 - 12:52 pm

Resa - #25 is totally awesome!!!

February 26, 2010 - 12:52 pm

susan - these are amazing, but #2 is my favorite! looks like you had a blast!

February 26, 2010 - 12:25 pm

Allison - #4 is awesome!! One of those pictures a)normal people with a camera could never capture half as beautifully as you did, and b) one of those scenes that you can only get in Hawaii. Absolutely breathtaking. Loved all the pics… they were amazing!!!

February 26, 2010 - 12:25 pm

June - Oh man. I have to pick just one?? Ok I pick #1….no #2…erg, ok really #1. They are ALL fantastic. Thanks for sharing and I’m so glad you and Amy got away together. Miss you both!

February 26, 2010 - 12:25 pm

Allison Krosnick - I’ve got to say that I keep coming back to #1. It is so peaceful, and the colors are great! Fantastic set!

February 26, 2010 - 12:22 pm

Tiffany Krise - I think #4 would look amazing in a large print!

February 26, 2010 - 12:21 pm

February 26, 2010 - 12:15 pm

Ram - Mr Hoffer!! Looks like you’ve had yourself an awesome vacation. How do you expect us to pick just one from so many wonderful ones!! :)

Hmmm, 4, 8, 12 or 32. I’d go with 4 :)

February 26, 2010 - 12:15 pm

Mike - Definitely #3… Sweet composition and colors!

February 26, 2010 - 12:13 pm

Ashley - These are all GORGEOUS and it was so hard to choose… but I pick #25!

February 26, 2010 - 12:10 pm

Dennis Pik - Something about number 29 for me, can’t place my finger on it, but that is my favorite.

February 26, 2010 - 12:08 pm

Dan - Very Nice. My vote is for #2 as well.

February 26, 2010 - 12:04 pm

Sahid - Holy crap these are awesome. I’m so freakin jealous, it’s not even funny. There’s like 22 inches of snow on parts of East coast right now, and you get to photograph rainbows and waterfalls. Enjoy your time there.

February 26, 2010 - 12:00 pm

Kim - Glad you were able to get away to such an amazing place. My vote is for #2, just amazing. Love the t/s on that one. #3 is a close second.

February 26, 2010 - 11:46 am

Lindsay - TWO. Totally. Love how the coast line looks with the waves in T/S. Also, I’m way jealous you got to see humpback whales.

February 26, 2010 - 11:41 am

Kara McClelland - 25!!!! Although I love them all…I am inviting myself over to come look at the rest of the pics you took….slideshow and pizza??? excellent idea!

February 26, 2010 - 11:38 am

Erika - Looks like you had a fantastic vacation. Glad you got away to celebrate, but I have to say my inner-blog stalker REJOICED with the arrival of a new post :)

And seriously, Mr. Hoffer, you can’t post 41 pictures and expect us to have ONE favorite. I think this is a hard call to make without knowing the colors already existing in whatever room you’re planning to hang this in, but if I have to vote blindly…

Number 3 & 28 are definitely up there for me – probably because they remind me so much of LOST scenery. So I say go with whichever orientation looks best on your empty wall.

February 26, 2010 - 11:37 am

Ira - Great work. #17

February 26, 2010 - 11:36 am

ajja - maui no ka oi huh?! remarkably captured. i think it’s def. 30, but am totally enamored by 15 as well. homesickness doubled….thanks.

February 26, 2010 - 11:36 am

Ernst - Looks like you both somewhat enjoyed yourselves. I vote #26, which could have been even better if you had cut down the 3rd tree from the left. Cheers. Ernst

February 26, 2010 - 11:36 am

Jeremy - I loved #11. The exposure is wonderful! Is that how it was from the camera or is it an hdr?
