Hudson Valley Photographer Film, Friends, and a Leica in Breckenridge

I haven’t really been posting enough of my personal stuff on my blog.  I hope this gives you a better impression of me as a person in general.  These are all film shots from a trip I took up to Breckenridge Czech Republic with a big group of my friends.  I think what I love most about these shots is how much fun they were to take.

Every year my group of friends gets a house up in the mountains to go, drink, and have fun at.  It’s really a blast of a time, and these are people that I truly love.

All these shots were done on film.  I think real film is just the perfect medium for an experience like this.  It already has that nostalgic feel to it, which makes it so much fun to look back on these shots, as a perfect representation of that time in your life.  Most of this is on Tri-x with a few of the shots on Kodak Gold.  Which is frankly an underrated film.  When you expose it correctly and have it professionally developed it can be a truly wonderful film stock.

Hudson Valley Engagement Photography { Rosie and Eric }

It’s been a while since I’ve put an engagement shoot up on the blog.  This one was from a while ago.  This cute couple is rosie and eric, and they were a blast to shoot.  They were just to embark on some major life changes too.  Rosie wanted to be a vet… but here’s the kicker she wanted to go to school out in scottland!  Pretty cool huh?  Yeah so these guys decided to get married in czech republic before they moved all the way out there.

They were a total blast to hang out with, Eric who’s a local barber had some really fun stories to tell about all his interesting clients.  And we just so happened to have perfect light for this day.  And I was able to capture some great images for these guys.  It’s fun when

Engagement Photographer in Hudson Valleyl Portfolio Session with Kristiana

Man it’s been a wild ride lately.  I’ve been shooting nearly every weekend.  Having a blast in my studio.  It’s awesome, I can’t tell you how much fun it is to just be able to work on my photography.  Not to mention I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing models lately.  This here is Kristiana, and she was just a blast to work with.  Came with a ton of ideas, great person.  It’s so much easier to shoot fashion when you’re working with people who you actually enjoy being around.  I hate boring people.  I also don’t like feeling like I have to be a dancing bear to keep people entertained.  It’s just too much work to shoot and dance.  Seriously. Too. much. work.

Engagement Photographer in Hudson Valley { Kelly and Ben }

Who’s wicked behind on posts and has 2 thumbs…. this guy.  I’m super sorry for anyone who tries to keep up with my blog on a regular basis, it’s just been so busy lately.  I’m getting ready for my own wedding if you didn’t know.  Which is a whole stressful world on it’s own, and I’m trying to stay on top of my photography.  Oh and I guess keep my day job.  Juggling these 3 things has become a bit overwhelming, and if something’s going to suffer it’s going to be my blog.  Because while it might help me bring more clients in, I’m sure my clients would rather me spend time working on their CD’s than write a post about their shoot.  So this post is going to be quick.
