Santa and The Fire Truck

Santa and me, Deirdre.


I did a shoot of a family and another Santa at another local fire company here in Bordentown. They have a great vintage fire truck that I used as a background. The photos turned out fantastic :)



This is my husband and trusty assistant, Dave.

Jayden With Santa

I had a blast photographing the kids and pets with Santa this past weekend. Everyone was wonderful and the kids and pets were great! Everyone seems to love what I did for them and I'm in the process of getting their print orders processed and shipped out directly to them.

Thanks to everyone over at Hope Hose Humane Fire Company here in Bordentown, NJ. Their fundraiser was a success!

A Triptych

earlier this year around may or june i shot some images on the edge of a field in columbus, nj. when i was photographing them, i thought of how the white flowers were such a contrast to the darker background. it made me think of old tin type photographs you would see during the civil war.

this piece is 40"x20" and will be available for sale in limited, numbered quantities.

Getting The Shot

My daughter found a new love at the Pittsburgh Zoo and no it wasn't just the animals. This huge rope climb which she calls, The Spider Web, seemed to be cherry picked just for a little girl like her. She is full of energy and loves to climb!



So of course I follow her! LOL



I had a blast capturing her climbing up. Luckily my husband was there too :)





I also captured this brother and sister team. He carried his little sister all the way to the top, slide down the slide with her and did this all over again with her on his back. And not only was he strong, he was like a fast little spider monkey!

Dionne Farris Performing At The Record Collector in Bordentown, NJ Sept. 24th, 2009

I had the pleasure of photographing Dionne Farris as she performed her new songs and older ones from previous albums. My mom and her mom used to work together as teachers in Trenton and have remained friends. Dionne graduated from Bordentown Regional High School.

Dionne's performance was nothing less than fabulous. She was accompanied by a 6 string bass and an acoustic guitar and just her voice.

She was nominated for a Grammy in 1995 and her best known single is I Know.

The venue was tiny, and space was a premium. So I used my wide angle and shot mainly from the sides of the stage and on the floor. I used a single attached flash. My goal was to create the feeling of the club scenes of the 70's when photographers used high speed film and a flash.

I love shooting bands and performances, this was a real treat that I haven't had the opportunity to do in a long time :)
