Ever the servant

Decades come and decades go, but grandma still serves me cake on my birthday.  I think the cake-pan predates me (circa 1967).

My Girl

All I wanted was a smile

I think the hardest child to photograph is my own.  I asked for a smile, and this is what I got :)

Beautiful Pennsylvania Wedding

I traveled to the great state of PA for this beautiful wedding which took place in Ligonier.  It was at an historic inn which created a great setting.

New Smyrna Beach Pictures

Here is a quasiHDR image created from a single RAW file.

(For the photographers out there): The original exposure is at the bottom of this post.  Basically, I created three jpegs of various exposure adjustments from a single raw file and merged them as an HDR in photoshop.  However, Danielle and baby didn’t look so great so I added them as another layer using masks.  Finally, a couple of adjustment layers for select areas and wallah!

Show and tell

This is one of my favorite pictures; it was taken moments after the ceremony ended and the wedding party assembled in the Estate house in Cyprus Grove. I’m not sure if it’s the way the moment stands out, the colors, the composition or a combination of all three, but whatever it is I like to look at it. Use the comments section to let me know if you agree, or if I’m a little crazy.
