Two Day Photoshop Workshop

I took a trip back to RIT for the weekend to teach a two day workshop on Photoshop technique to the employees of ETC Photographic Studio. It was great to see everyone again and I even learned a couple new tricks in the process of teaching the techniques I know!

Family Portraits

I had a lot of fun today photographing this family in their home. We did a variety of photos, from the more conventional family portrait to some casual shots like the mother daughter ones below.

Inspiration/Friends in the Business

Here are a handful of the people I know or have worked with in photography. I went to college, took classes and worked with these photographers and it has undoubtedly shaped how I see and what I do. This definitely isn't everyone that I've encountered but it's a few who are also in the NYC area now.

Enough to be Proud

I wasn't able to raise enough money to walk in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this weekend, but I did raise around $1000 and I can be proud of that. I hope the money is able to help the organization and the people it effects, and that I was able to raise a little more awareness for the cause. Thank you all so much for your support, it means so much to me!
