I come from Harrisburg, they come from New Jersey yet we found ourselves in Frederick Maryland. LOL go figure.

Two things I want to share:

1) Frederick Maryland is sooooooooooooo beauftiful. Parts of it remind me a lot of Oklahoma City's Bricktown. I could have spent all day down there. Maryland is such a beautiful state all around. If it weren't for my family and friends up here I would definitely move down into Maryland.

2) Dave and Dina are set to get married June 29th 2008 at Camp Shoresh in Maryland. These two are fun to work with and you can obviously tell they have a strong connection between them. OK not trying to step on Dave's toes here but Dina's smile can lite up an underground cave. She is such a pretty girl and she's a sweetheart. Dave and Dina, congratulations on your wedding and I look forward to creating more great memories with you in a few weeks.

I forgot to mention that everyone that has seen these portraits so far thinks Dave looks like Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy. Ya know…Patrick Dempsey.

My wife is going to starngle me but after Dave left my house after meeting my wife for the first time she says "Is that your client?" I say "yeah why" To which she responds "He's hot!"

Haha heres to you "Dr McDreamy"

This is another catch up I promised to do.

I loved how these turned out. She could have fooled another drag king into thinking she was a man. Her make-up skills were outstanding and her understanding of shadows was killer (yes I said killer).

Meet Matt and Melinda Raback.

They come from us right in my own neighborhood. Small world. Mindy was looking on google for a photographer and found me. If I squint really hard I can see their back porch from my house LOL.

Mindy and Matt wanted something more natural and relaxed and wanted to show off a bit of their newborn daughter's room.

Their house is beautifully decorated which made everything easy for me. Mindy and Matt have great taste.

Ella was so pretty and so calm the entire time we photographed her. I think we could have tossed her in the air, hung her up-side down, played the radio really loud and she still would have stayed asleep.

Here are some from their session

Ok I know this is supposed to be a "PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG" buuuuuuuuuuuuuut I feel I need to make mention of another missing animal in our neighborhood. Nadia is her name and her owner is Scott Sears.SSears05@hotmail.com is his e-mail. He also lives in the Blue Meadows Farm area.

Nadia's disappearance is also mysterious.

Below is a photograph Scott sent to me so I can post it on my blog.

#############PENNY UPDATE############
Penny was seen the night before last in the area of HIdden Valley Lane off of Fishing Creek Valley Road. If anyone lives in that area please keep your eyes peeled.

I wanted to keep my mind off my stolen pooch so I am posting some much needed updates.

Here are some of my favorites from Gina and Corley's Maternity Session. They come to us from york, Pennsylvania.

The one above is Gina favorite.

An officer just came by today with Penny's Collar in hand.

To be perfectly clear this collar DOES NOT come off easily.

1) It is a snap collar and is not a stretchy collar. This collar cannot be removed by simply pulling it over Penny's head. Her head is much thicker than her neck so there is no way this was taken off unless it was unsnapped.
2) The collar was found unsnapped and on the side of the road up on the parkway. He said it was found on Blue Mountain Parkway closer to Parkway East near the area where the Bamboo is.

Interesting timing. Just when my story came out in the newspaper and a day after I put fliers all over linglestown. Coincidence?

PEOPLE IN THE AREA OF BLUE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY AND PARKWAY EAST AND WEST PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED.

Here is a recent color portrait of her with the collar that was brought to me minutes ago

Yup…Today I am on a rant. Sorry if I break character for a moment but get this:

Yesterday I left to go to an engagement session down in Frederick Maryland around 1:15. I locked Penny (My Dog) i nher kennel in the basement when I left. There is a sliding glass door to enter my basement but it was locked. I am 150% sure of that because earlier I tried to enter the house through that door but couldn't because it was locked, so I went around front instead. No one was home other than myself when I left at 1:15.

My wife got home at 3:15. When she went downstairs she saw the kennel was open and the sliding glass door was wide open. Penny was no where in sight.

Penny is not the type of dog to run away either assuming that Penny opened her kennel by herself and the sliding glass door as well (CHYEAH RIGHT). When she is outside without a leash she won't go further than 50 yards from the house and will come back to the front door with-in 15 minutes of being outside.

Something is odd about this whole thing. All of my photography equipment was upstairs so there were 1k's of dollars worth of equipment to just take and the ONLY thing missing was my dog. She is a MUT so she has no value other than sentimental value to me.

This was taken by someone close to me. Either in proximity or relation. This stinks through and through.

There were contractors out back and they didn't see anything or anyone leaving through the back basement door.

Here is an update:

I like her little tongue sticking out: She is in a phase where she likes making scary faces.

Sorry I haven't been over here posting as much. I promise I will catch everything up that I have not posted yet.

I wanted to share this quick session of Ashley. She is due sometime in July. She really looks stunning, elegant and classy in this maternity portrait of her. This is something her newborn will love to have later in her life when she is a mother herself. Ha maybe I still be an old photographer with a bald head and lots of wrinkles way down the line in a few decades. Hmmmmm that will make me almost 60. Whoa…let not get carried away.

Down in Olney Maryland again at B'nai Shalom for a set of Bimah Portraits for Jordan and his family.

Bar Mitzvah Photography is always an important part of the overall process of becoming a Bar Mitzvah. A staple if you will. I am honored to have been able to capture this small piece of Jordan's life.

I always try to experiment with something new. Some new idea I haven't tried yet. Below is a sneak peak at his Bimah Portraits. I really like this one. It's dramatic and shows a young boy starting his journey into becoming a young man.

See you on Saturday at the party

Here at my comfy studio in Harrisburg, Pa along came Gina. She was ALLLL belly. Not a sign of pregnancy other than her belly. Her and her husband, Corley, were both two very athletic people and had great personality and spirit. We did MANY different images but I wanted to share ONE with everyone before I close down for the evening here.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm……..all these choices……which one should I show?!?!?!

Ok I really loved Corley's expression in this. I can really feel the closeness in this. I love her hand placement too and wow look at that ring!!! No wonder she is in such good shape.

Ok enough goofing around…enjoy.
