Meet William

Wow.  I have known William since he was like 3 years old.  His oldest sister is one of my best friends and it's crazy to think I remember him being so small and now he's all grown up and graduating high school!!  Today we ventured out to take his senior portraits.  Will kept it casual which was a lot of fun but he also is a great athlete so we threw in some of that while shooting.  Here is a sneak peek!

Meet my cousin Hayley

Meet my cousin Hayley.  We took her senior pictures a few days ago (I can't believe she's graduated High School already!!)  We had so much fun with outfit choices, she brought tons to choose from.  These are a few of my favorites.  I also had to throw in some of the goofy ones because that's just her. Hah.  I was so excited to be able to take these photos, she's a beautiful young woman who Im sure is going to change the world some day.  Enjoy :)

  

Welcome to the New Year/Winter Classic

Although it's a few days late... Happy New Year :) I hope that 2011 is everyones best year yet!  I was fortunate enough to spend the first day of the new year at Heinz Field for the Winter Classic.  I went with Bill and Andrew (as seen below in the picture) and we had a fantastic time.  It didn't get too chilly until the hard rain during the third period.  This first picture is one of my favorites, all the little 8's vs 87's. .. then you've got the big dogs on the back rink.  I want to shout out to Jack Megaw, even though he has a Caps beanie on in our photo.  It was great to see friends I haven't seen in a while.  Even though we didn't win, it was a great experience and the atmosphere was unbelievable.  

65 and Sunny...

So yesterday was 65 degrees and sunny!  These few days of sporadic Indian Summer have been great.  What a perfect time to go outside and shoot.  I met up with Cory in Oakland to do headshots.  He is a Point Park University cinema student who also does acting work.  I used to live in the part of Oakland we shot in, so I knew the area like the back of my hand.  Cory was hysterical.  (As you will be able to tell by some of the photos.)  He was great at posing and keeping it real.  Great shoot Cor!
