This here is Laura Brenneman. She’s the mastermind and chief badass behind Stratford Music. She also willingly spent a few hours with me in her studio making pictures. Here’s a smattering of what we did together.
The right now | red hook family photographer
Sometimes the best time to get photos is right now. Because the right now is often worth remembering.
Woof! Happy Holidays! | dumbo family photographer
Have an amazing time, each and every one…
Five Years Later | nyc family photographer
If you've been following along, you might know that I've been experimenting this spring and summer with new photo techniques. You might also know that I rarely photograph couples without some evidence of their progeny in the picture. Well kismet occurred when I learned that a friend's wedding photos were all lost at precisely the time I was strategizing my next experimental session. So they put on their wedding outfits, we went to the East Village (their pre-kid stomping ground) and we created a bit of wedding portrait magic...five years after the fact. In this session I again tinkered with double exposures, shooting through things (plastic bags, prisms, twinkle lights) and a Lensbaby Edge. Damn I love taking in the East Village.
We also spent some time on a rooftop in Brooklyn. This is where the twinkle lights came in.
The end.
Big kids | new york city photographer
A dear friend of mine got married at City Hall last week. I took a few photos. This was the hottest day in NYC this summer and so we only spent about 15 minutes outside before heading into the hall. Chinatown is an amazing backdrop, would love to shoot there again maybe on a day that isn't 95 degrees in the shade.
