Today we had an Ultimate Portrait Session with David, Rachel, Jennifer, Emily, and Michael. We had a lot of fun taking their portraits, and the results are phenomenal.

There are too many photos to show here, so we just picked a few of our favorites:

A custom designed family collage.

Jennifer, Emily, and Michael without their parents.

We had a great session with Esther Basya at the waterfront.

Here are some of my favorites:

We had another Ultimate Portrait Session with Alyssa, and her parents Dawn and Jim. They asked Isabella to come as well, for a few photos with both cousins in it.

Both girls were very energetic, so getting them both to look at me was quite a challenge.

Here are some of my favorites:

I had no events booked today, so around 10:30 I went to Cheesequake State Park. SinceI hadn’t been there, I only took the 1.5m Yellow trail. It was beautful, and I’ll be going back more times to try the blue, green, red trails. I’ll also try to go earlier, so I can catch wildlife. I did meet some great people there, who were hiking, sunbathing, or playing with their dogs!

Here are some pictures I took:

Tonight I went to the waterside in beautiful Keyport, and did some night photography. It’s quite strange to be the only person out there, in the dark, armed with nothing but my tripod, and camera. But, I liked some of the pics I took:
