Nick is a freshman Wildlife Management major. He’s also an avid rock climber, a competition archer, and an all-around nature lover who is definitely at home in the outdoors. He can start a fire and setup a tent and, I think, knows something about hatchet throwing. Without a doubt [...]

Paul’s Reflection
This was an image shot for my dear friend Paul Sevensky (who has just signed on as my first staff writer at my other site, The Roving Photographer). The gentleman in the portrait is Paul’s grandfather as a young man, and his resemblance to Paul has always been very strong. [...]

Pecha Kucha Night Scranton
Some shameless self-promotion – I’ll be presenting at Pecha Kucha Scranton on Saturday, January 28th. If you haven’t heard of Pecha Kucha before (and I certainly hadn’t), it’s a series of presentations, each exactly six minutes & forty seconds in length and composed of 20 slides. Think TED, but rapid-fire. [...]
Going back to a little before Christmas, here for the final shoot in Lauren’s senior package. We swapped things up and moved into the studio for this set – it was getting too cold for outdoor shooting anyway, and we wanted that classic white background for the final few looks [...]
Ah, the obligatory couple’s Christmas photo. It’s a tradition. The girlfriend gets all excited while the photographer boyfriend becomes all sorts of awkward at having to sit in front of the lens. Not the place he feels comfortable. But in the end, it was worth it. And we had fun. [...]
The site has a new look! If you’ve been here before, I’m sure you noticed right away – it’s a big change. Although the previous version was only about a year old, I’d had some style issues with it since the start. It wasn’t really me. A little too vanilla [...]

Gianna – Christmas Photos
This is Gianna, one of the cutest gals I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and certainly a far cry younger than the high school seniors I’ve been working with! Her mom wanted photos for the annual Christmas card, so we got together at the local playground and did the [...]

Alli – Portfolio Session
This is my great friend Alli, who stepped in front of the camera a couple of weeks back for a glamour portrait session. Alli is giving some real thought to modeling, it not as a career than at least as a side-project. The first thing that any aspiring model needs [...]

Lauren – Senior Session
The day after finishing Kristen’s senior session, I was able to shoot part two with Lauren. Time was tight and we ended up having a few last shots to finish up at a later date, but what we were able to accomplish was just excellent! Lauren hammed it up for [...]

St. Michael’s Centennial
Looking back over the past year, it’s hard to believe that it’s over. This past Saturday marked the 100th Anniversary of St. Michael’s Byzantine Catholic Church in Dunmore, PA, and with it the completion of a photographic project that began last November, when I agreed to help my close friend [...]

Kristen – Senior Session
Kristen is an artist and an equestrian, the quiet one in the family who every now and then cuts loose with a real zinger. When she asked about senior portraits, I was psyched, and immediately thought of having her a field in her prom dress near sunset. It’s the perfect look [...]

Lauren – Senior Session
Lauren, who worked with me on some cheerleading photos on a very cold and windy day last spring, is back in front of the camera, this time for her senior portraits! This is part one of a two for Lauren, and we started by hitting up one of the nearby [...]

Jesse & Allison: 09-10-11
Jesse has been my best friend since Kindergarten. We grew up together, learned to drive together, got ready for Proms together, and although we eventually went to college in different states, we’ve remained close in the years since leaving home. Now Jess has made the big leap and gotten married [...]
