Magda and Surfers Paradise

admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 22:23:23 +0000

In a small rocky jut of land, equidistant from the skyscrapers of Surfers Paradise and the moderate buildings of Currumbin, lies a little piece of paradise. We brought the lovely Magda out for an ethereal sunset shoot in the cool Australian Winter.

Of course, variety is always the aim for me – how can I take the same model, same location, same make up and clothing and make each image distinct, different, and yet interesting in its own right. It’s a challenge – one I hope I rose to in this particular session!

How could I not stop and shoot in these gorgeous vineyards of Napa Valley, California? We had a spectacular sunset but only a few minutes before we had to be at the airport to leave for Boston.

Maternity on a Gorgeous Beach!

We woke up at 4:00 am in order to arrive at this beach at Sunrise. And what glorious light there was to be found in those early hours of the morning while most slept in.

A Few Misc Images From Philadelphia and Jersey

I have been a part of an amazing set of sessions here – maternity on the Jersey shore, a bridal session on top of an iron bridge spanning the Delaware, teens in vintage 1960s trains… I LOVE my work! And a big thanks to Amy Ortiz of Saje Photography for her wonderful hospitality during my time there.

Dramatic Sunsets and a Beautiful Maternity

This wonderful couple braved a cold and windy 8:00 pm shoot so we could catch a dramatic Spring sunset. The storm was moving in but fortunately left us with enough sky before the cloud cover took over completely. Congratulation to the new mother and father! Here’s a sneak peek of your shoot:

Day 2 – A sunset shoot at the beach

admin — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:24:47 +0000

A fun day capped by my luggage actually arriving in Australia finally (and a long trip back to the airport to get it, darn!). This was a fun shoot at the beach featuring several different clients – kids, maternity, and the families of local photographers. I didn’t take as many shots today – it was too much fun to check out each photographer as they shot and give tips where I could.
