I first photographed my friends in Snaphammer at The Chance five years ago, for the second annual Foodstock benefit. It’s a pretty awesome thing that 5 years later, they’re still playing the annual Thanksgiving charity concert! Here are some of my favorites from the show this year. You can also see a gallery with all of the pictures in full size here.
I’ve lived in New Paltz for over ten years. I’m amazed when I can find a new place to photograph, especially one that’s just a 5 minute drive down the road. I’ve actually taken pictures on the periphery of this area for years, not realizing that you can take a walk directly through the center where a huge stone structure, the Mohonk Testimonial Gatehouse, leads you to a dirt road where beautiful 100 year old oak trees line what used to the the original eastern entrance to the Mohonk Preserve.
This fall family shoot was a special one. Not just because this is a beautiful family as well as being great friends, but also because Nick is one half of Candeo Photo, who just photographed our wedding. If you’re getting married in the Hudson Valley, hands down, these are your guys. Their attention to detail, professionalism and ability to keep you calm up to and including your wedding day is second to none.
Here are a handful of my favorites from a beautiful afternoon photographing a beautiful family.
When I started this series I wanted to be shots in and around town. Luckily New Paltz is the kind of town where you can photograph a drum circle, a quaint main street and then drive (or walk) five minutes from town and see beautiful landscapes. Here are 5 of those from this past week.
