I love KISSes | Philadelphia Photographer

One of the coolest options on my list of products... KISS lay-flat albums. This one below is a sample of an 8x8 I did recently for a maternity shoot. There's options ranging from an array of colors and 12x12 inches to a crazy adorable 4x4 mini album.

This has all been such an unpredictable journey for me. I can't tell you how many changes I've made in my life since beginning this blog, both creatively and personally. As far as photography goes, so much has changed in the industry of camera and equipment making. No wonder we're all evolving in this art form. Some of us are coming full circle with returning to or incorporating film into our work and some are growing along side upgraded cameras and lenses.

Creatively I've been lead into a direction I never expected, making images I didn't foresee some 7 years ago. If you can notice the changes through this blog you'll get the picture (no-pun intended). Now I'm experiencing photography in a whole new light. I began with being purely documentary in style and approach, providing no instruction or direction to my subjects, purely capturing them as they are, allowing them to see themselves in a new perspective. And while I continue to grow in this element, I'm like a newbie baby in other aspects, directing, posing, artificial lights, taxes, business, website, marketing.

Its crazy rad, and crazy insane but its worth it all. I love this art deeply; after shooting, I edit, but want to stop editing to go and shoot again and again. If you can relate to this feeling with any passion you possess, you must feel as alive as I do.

Love on a Continuum | Portrait Photographer, New Orleans LA

New Orleans - Destination Photographer

I arrived back in Philadelphia after a week long stay in New Orleans this past week. I was visiting this charming and enchanting city while documenting a group of youth who are artists and masters in the making. They traveled down form Baltimore, Maryland to learn some history about New Orleans, engage in some of its unique culture and to gain an understanding of how people of African decent were affected by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As I'm still sorting through what I documented of the youth, I wanted to share a bit of beauty I encountered during my stay.
