Beach Shoot with Danae

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph my friend and former co-worker Danae. I was super happy that she, her friend, and little brother braved the Friday afternoon rush-hour traffic to do a sunset shoot down by the inlet in Manasquan!

Danae and I did a photoshoot back in the fall. We got together to do a great shoot at Rutgers Gardens in New Brunswick. She has an amazing fashion and makeup blog: wearsheis.com. Go check it out!

We had a great time taking photos! Despite the chilly wind, we made the trek all the way out to the end of the jetty and back. She is a real trooper, has great style, and is a beautiful person, inside and out!

April Update

It's been a really busy couple of weeks for me! I've been away from writing and facebook for longer than usual. Granted, it's been super busy at the day job, but I've also been working hard behind the scenes with my photography! But first, let me back track... A couple of years ago, my wife was a bridesmaid in her friend Megan's wedding. They were going to a bridal expo in Philly and she mentioned that it may be a good idea to tag along to meet some wedding photographers and do some networking. After walking around the expo for a little bit, we came across the booth of Caroline Morris ; A young, up and coming wedding photographer. We struck up a conversation. I don't remember much of what she and I talked about, but I remember thinking that she seemed cool and down to earth. We exchanged information and went on our ways. My friend Megan wound up booking Caroline for her wedding in May of 2014. We again got to meet and chat at the wedding and I got to see

Danae's Boyd Park Shoot

Image
When Danae and I met up last Thursday to do our shoot, I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled up next to her car. I looked over and saw a sea of long pastel green hair! Danae is a fashion and makeup blogger. We've known each other for several years having been coworkers at my last job. We've kept in touch since then and have done photo shoots together on several occasions. It's been really cool seeing the progression in her style choices as well as her comfortability behind the camera. Similarly, my skills as a portrait photographer have increased drastically since our first shoot.  For this shoot, we decided to meet at Boyd Park in New Brunswick which runs along the Raritan River. I had never been there before but when I arrived, I knew this would be a great place to shoot with lots of awesome backdrops and cool colors and textures.  Not to mention that Danae absolutely brought it with her hair, fierce looks, and killer outfit!

First Week of 2015!

Image
2015 is just about a week old and there've already been many opportunities for photos. It's been a great start to the year. I don't consider myself a meteorologist, but I've been following the weather patterns and surf reports. It's definitely helped me be in the right place at the right time! I didn't wake up (or stay up for that matter) to watch the first sunrise of the new year. But I did photograph the second sunrise of the new year. It was a pretty special morning. The light reflecting off the clouds before the sun popped over the horizon was really amazing. And my new camera has the ability to pick up colors and textures at lower lights that my old camera just couldn't develop. I don't think having a better camera makes you a better photographer, but it will help make a good shot even better.  Warm air moved through the area over the weekend accompanying some rain and wind. This generated the first swell of the year for surfers. May
