Army of Knitters

I was really excited for this shoot for Army of Knitters. Heather chose an amazing background color and the info that she sent me about the shoot sounded like it would be awesome. I wasn’t disappointed. I love the lighting I set up for this series, I think it makes the knitwear really stand out. If you love a design, you can purchase a pattern on the Army of Knitters site. The team had so much fun during this shoot! Can’t wait for the next one!

Kam - I was not sure who did Heather Dixon’s photography , but she tweeted a link to your site today. She has been one of my favorite designers for a long while, but I think one of the reasons is the phenomenal photography. You do really amazing work! AOKs gets most of the glory, but I think you deserve some of that praise. Thank you for sharing your skills and vision with us!

LaMar Hasbrouck

LaMar contacted me because he needed a headshot for press releases for his new job position. He was recently appointed Director of Public Health for the State of Illinois after being the Director of Public Health for Ulster County, NY. Although the shoot was only about 30 minutes, I think we got some great shots. After we got the press release photo LaMar wanted to take some more casual shots. I am very pleased with the results. I wish LaMar the best of luck at his new job!

 

 

 

 

Lisa, Phil, and Ayla!

Some of you may remember Lisa and Phil from their wedding back in the summer of 2010. They were a terrific couple and I loved spending their wedding day with them. When they contacted me about doing a family session with them I was so excited! They wanted it to be exactly on Ayla’s six month birthday. Fortunately the weather was warm but it was a little too early in the season for green grass, flowers, and leaves on trees. They chose to have it in Brooklyn and I jumped at the chance. I am always looking to expand the locations I shoot in and the diversity of my portfolio. It was great meeting little Ayla and it warmed my heart to see how happy she made both Lisa and Phil. I think you can tell from the photographs that she is the light of their lives. I may need to do another shoot with them when it’s further along in the season!

 

 

Clotheshorse: Shoot #2

These images are from the second shoot for Clotheshorse Magazine. Heather chose a location right down the road from her place which had many different areas to work with. There was an amazing old house, a huge barn, intricate stonework, and a gorgeous waterfall! It was absolutely beautiful! Thanks to all of the rain this past Fall the waterfall was gushing. The knitwear was fabulous and it was great working with Heather! Tatiana was nice enough to model for us. I felt bad for her because there were tons and tons of mosquitos!

If you are a crafty knitter, you can purchase the patters here.

 

 

Clotheshorse: Shoot #1

Clotheshorse is a new magazine that unites fashion, style, and knitting. Founded by Heather Dixon and Mindy Brown, the magazine provides loads of information for knitting aficionados. Heather first contacted me in late summer and asked me to be the photographer for their premier issue, and I jumped at the chance! The designs, which are available for purchase through the magazine, are awesome. They are modern and beautiful. I suggested to Heather that we work with Lillian for this shoot. I’ve worked with her before and knew she would be a great fit!

This shoot took place on Heather’s property which is quite lovely. Lucky (Heather’s pit bull) even modeled for a couple shots! I had a wonderful time and love the pictures!

AC - I love anything knitted. That yellow cardigan… I die. Stunning.

Mariella and Chris’ Wedding: Mohonk Mountain House, February 12, 2012

I always love photographing at Mohonk Mountain House. Everywhere you turn there is a unique and beautiful backdrop for a photo. I’ve never photographed a winter wedding at Mohonk though so I was very excited when Mariella contacted me about photographing her wedding in February. I was even more excited when she said that both she and Chris were committed to getting some pictures outside no matter how cold it was! This winter has been fairly mild and I was hoping that it wouldn’t be brutally cold. It was certainly blustery and there were even some snowflakes flying around! It was a beautiful backdrop for (some quick) outside pictures though. After the preparation, the wedding ceremony was held at St. Joseph’s Church in New Paltz, NY. After the ceremony we headed back up to Mohonk for some formal photos. I had a great time!

 

Delaney: Senior Pictures

I was excited that I recently received an email from Delaney looking to have me take her senior pictures. I’ve actually never done senior pictures before and am always looking to add different things to my portfolio. She wanted them taken on her families’ farm in New Paltz. It made for a perfect location! It’s a good thing this winter has been unseasonably warm!
