Amber editorial portraits and some fashion shots Hudson Valley Photographer

Amber came in wanting to do some more fashion style shots.  She had always wanted to be a model, and wanted to make a real run at it.  I knew when she came in she had a gorgeous face, and I was excited to get some great shots.  She also had a ton of personality, so I knew we would get some shots with some character in them.

We started out in the back and got some natural light shots.  I haven’t had a chance to edit any of those ones yet.  After that we moved on to do a bunch of studio looks.  I’m excited to see how those ones turn out as well after a bit of editing, but in the mean time I really wanted to work up this one shot.

I sure ha

I sure did have a nice weekend this weekend.  The fiance and I spent Sunday running errands, but the fun part is realizing how much fun we have together.  We really do enjoy each others company so much, and we make running errands fun.  I know we’re a bit gross, but whatever.  Hell we even finished off the day with some doughnuts from Dunkin.  And if that’s not a way to finish out a day, I don’t know what is.

Lynzi was running around pulling together some props for a shoot she wants to do that’s very Tim Walker.  I’m excited to see how her shots turn out.  I already helped her figure out what she wanted to do with the lighting so she could get

5 Tips to get the corporate headshot that lands you your next gig Hudson Valley Photographer

It’s actually pretty easy to find a photographer that will take a headshot for you.  They’re everywhere.  The question is whether or not they’re good enough to capture who you are in a single shot, and edit it to look fantastic, professional.  Is it going to be good enough for you to land your next big gig?  Here’s 5 tips to help you get the best out of your headshot session so you can come away with some amazing shots.

1. Don’t Drink

It’s funny how much this comes up.  Either clients come in slightly hungover, or to take the edge off and nervousness they come in having had a few mimosas, or maybe a shot or two of tequila.  I get it, most people are nervous when they’re getting their picture taken.  Th

While I mostly shoot fashion, I love taking my lighting skills to a headshot shoot to create something you wouldn’t be able to get from another photographer.

Oh man was this a fun shoot.  Leah came in for some headshots, and we had planned on a nice sunny day.  That wasn’t exactly what happened though.  As soon as she showed up to start hair and makeup it started snowing.  It was abundantly clear it was going to be a different shoot entirely.  I was super excited about shooting in the s

Brian Financial Planner Updates with Natural Light { Hudson Valley Headshot Photographer }

Well life has been pretty fantastic lately.  First and foremost I got engaged this last weekend.  YAY!  Which I have to say has been one of my happiest moments in my life.  I can’t tell you how stoked I am about everything.  Now comes the fun part of actually planning a wedding now.  We have to book a venue first.  I think we’re really looking at the Grant Humphreys mansion.  I just can’t wait to marry my fiance.  I couldn’t be happier, and it’s crazy to me how easy life can be once you find the right lady to be with.

Honestly, business has been great lately, and really it’s more than that.  Frankly, it’s the clients that I’ve been working with that really take it up a notch for me.  I love my clients.  Really!  I thi

So these shots were a total blast.  These are from my trip to japan.  These were actually in Osaka, Japan.  We spent a few days in Osaka to get away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.  Which after a while can be a little overwhelming.  We’re still planning on moving out there eventually, but I think we’re going to l

Here are some more shots that I did while I was in tokyo.  This fantastic model is Yuki.  She was a total blast to work with.  Again I was so sad that I couldn’t speak japanese, because I could tell she had a super fun personality.  When she wasn’t busy looking absolutely gorgeous, she was making funny faces at me.  Which had me laughing pretty much our entire

Hudson Valley Headshot Photography { Matt Gumley }

I’m starting to get closer to catching up on doing my blogging.  I’m still pretty far behind, but I’m getting closer.  These shots are only 4 months old. :)  That’s progress for me.

So child star Matt Gumley came to me to get him some great head shots before a play that he was in, wanted him to cut off all of his hair.  The life of an actor eh?  Wouldn’t that just suck.  I can’t imagine working in a job where my appearance was dictated to me by my employer.  Luckily I get to be a photographer which means flannel all day every day.  No seriously I’m wearing flannel right now.

For Matt we wanted to get him something really clean, but at the same time showed some character.  He wanted som

Hudson Valley Headshot Photographer { Chuck }

Everyone say hi to Chuck. I recently had the chance to work with chuck to give him some new headshots. He had recently become more of a leader at the tech startup he’s working for, and he wanted to get a headshot that was clean, crisp, and modern. I actually really enjoy doing headshots for people in the Tech industry.  I have quite a bit of history in that industry, it’s actually what I went to school for and I worked for quite a while as a software engineer. So I always feel like it’s really easy for me to relate to people who work in Tech. I’d say I’m certainly pretty gregarious, but when you have a common ground like that it makes it even easier.

Chuck brought his wife along, which was a blast a
