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

Hudson Valley Portrait Photographer Manda Lee in Stilo Magazine

You know it’s kinda sad, you work so hard on putting together an editorial, and then so many of the images don’t end up making it into your portfolio.  They might be good, but they’re not as great as the other images.  I don’t even usually end up posting them to facebook like I should.  It takes so long for the editorial to come out, and then by the time the editorial comes out, you’re a bit tired of looking at the images.  That and I’ve been really annoyed with facebook lately.  They changed the way that they show followers your images which means that my photography doesn’t get seen by all the people who have liked my page.  It’s frustrating, and seriously depressing.  You work so hard to build a following on

Portrait Photography in Hudson Valley { Alita Book Work }

Another installment of me trying to do a bit more blogging, and at least writup something more often for my photography work.  Say hello to Alita, a local model that was looking to beef up her book with a more diverse look.  She had plenty of promotional style work in her portfolio, but we wanted to add some more high fashion style headshots.  So we worked on getting stuff that certainly had sex apeal, but showed off her true beauty.  I wouldn’t call this beauty work, but it certainly highlights what a great face she has.

This first shot I did using freelensing, which was a frustrating blast.  I only got about 3 great shots, but man were they fun to wo

Portrait Photography in Hudson Valley { Brittany Fashion Shoot }

I have really got to get better about writing up blog posts, but it feels like my time is shrinking with all my editing, and recent fashion work.  And for that I’m immensly grateful.  Of course I still need to keep on top of my blog, so I’m going to put up a few portfolio sessions that I did recently for you to check out.

The first is Brittany.  She was fantastic, great posing, great skin, and a super fun chic.  We had a blast working together…. speaking of which we really need to work together again soon.  Anyways I hope yall like these shots that I did for Britt’s portfolio.

This is probably one of my favvorite black and white shots I’ve ever taken.  I fell i

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.

I know I know,… it’s been forever…. I’ve just been real busy and honestly had a few family things that I’ve needed to deal with, so I haven’t been able to post in a while.  But here I am posting now,… so everyone say hi to Amber and Chris.  This cute couple was a ton of fun to work with.  Chris is wiked stylish ( I think he has amber beat in the fashion department by just a smidge) and amber has a killer smile.  They were real easy to take pictures of.  I didn’t get to play
