NO IM NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!!!!

Actually my computer is the one that is down for the count. My computer has now been at the computer hospital for almost a week now. I was completely blindsided. One minute I am workflowing wedding photos and the next minute my computer is coughing, hacking, and weezing due to a nasty case of spyware/virus that has totally disabled the machine.

Even yours truly can’t figure out the problem. That is why it is being worked on by pros. I was supposed to had it back by today but they still are finding problems with it they have yet to overcome.

TO ANYONE THAT HAS ORDERED REPRINTS OR HAS E-MAILED ME, OR IS CURRENTLY CORESPONDING WITH ME ABOUT ANYTHING:

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. As soon as I have my brain…uh…I mean my computer back I will be able to finish speaking with you and/or processing your order or event photos.

If it weren’t for the iPod I am using to type this on I wouldn’t have a way to make this blog post. Thank goodness for this little device. =)

Please, if anyone has any questions or needs to speak with me please call me at 888-517-6374 or locally at 717-541-0681. I am able to check e-mail on this iPod but I may not reply back to you due to how rediculously tiny everything is as far a typing a response. But I will contact you once my computer has come back from the ‘hospital’

Thanks you and I appreciate everyones patience.

Last weekend I was met by Jake with the rest of his family down in Olney Maryland at B’nai Shalom. Jake was about as easy as they get. Wait a sec…

Come to think of it I think there is a sickness down in Olney at B’nai Shalom because EVERYONE I have photographed so far was too wasy. Hmmmmm….maybe there is something in the water.

Anyway, these were taken the Thursday before the reception. The party was on saturday at the Crowne Plaza in Rockville, MD.

Mark Burch from Everything Entertainment
was the DJ. This is the third time I have worked along side of him. This time he had an MC on the MIC most of the time. Either way you look at it Mark and the MC did another phenominal job. I look forward to adding them to my recommended vendors list.

Since the party fell on my youngest daughter’s FIRST birthday I snuck in a portrait of her I just created yesterday for her birthday.

Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Vtalk radio. Listen to the show and hear about different aspects of my business and the entertaining story of how I got into photography as found on my bio page on my website. Also I reveal of few tricks of how I create some of my most popular portraits.

…to the men and women in our armed forces. They risk their lives every day. They leave their families behind to do what is necessary to keep our enemies back on their heels.

I used to travel a lot and found myself in airports frequently for about a year straight. I would always see men and women coming home from overseas dressed in their uniform. I always felt like people in their airport should be going up to them and thanking them for their efforts, their risks and their sacrifices. I wanted to walk up to each and every one of them and shake their hand. I felt they deserved recognition rather than demoralizing banter from non supportive individuals who aren’t truly appreciative of their efforts.

I thought about what I COULD do to show appreciation. Send stuff in care packages? Adopt a soldier? All good ideas. However, I remember being away from home and really taking comfort in the photos I had to help remind me of home. I think these men and women deserve the same thing. Something professional and perfect. Something better than the chain studios who only treat you like cattle with checkbook.

If you are a service member and would like a photo session with your family please keep reading. Whether you are single and would like a photo session with your parents or you have a family of your own and want the session to be with your children and your husband or wife. As long as one of you in the immediate family (son, daughter, father, mother, husband, or wife) is an ACTIVE service member this offer applies to you.

You have earned a free in-studio or on-location ($200 value) family photo session. Also included with your free session is a free no strings attached $100 reprint credit for you to use towards any reprints.

Call 717-541-0681 to book your session. I am not sure I can create family portraits for every family that calls due to filling up on my bookings. I may decide to end it once I get too many requests that I cannot handle. So please book sooner than later to ensure you have something special and unique to take back overseas with you on your next deployment.

I am based out of Harrisburg, Pa and will go on location to most of my surrounding areas. If you are reading this and you are in Maryland (which is an area I cover) I welcome you to come up to my studio for your family session. Call 888-517-6374 if you are out of state.

*****Offer limited to active personnel only. Must have valid military ID present on day of session. Session only good for service members and their immediate family. Soldier must be present and in the photos. Session will be done in a family style only, sorry no substitutions. Cannot be combined with any other offer. No hidden fees or charges. This is the real deal.*****

P.S. I would also like it if you would take a photo or two with me in it =)
