We are so very proud of Ashley White now Ashley Palandrani. Ashley married the handsome and supportive Greg Palandrani this past June. Greg and Ashley’s family have all helped get her boutique open. Ashley Austin is a very chic boutique that carries the most amazing shoes, handbags and accessories! I attended the Grand opening last month and it was amazing to see all the support and buzz that was around that evening. I had to park 4 blocks away! Whenever I am in Kennett I always stop in to say hello to Ashley. Only problem is I walk out with a bag of goodies for my wife every time I visit Ashley I wish you the very best with your new business venture.

Stop in a say hello to Ashley, she will find the perfect accessory for you. For shop location, information and directions click on Ashley Austin

Here is my son, Ryan, and his band, The “Helen Keller Socialists” A band photo shoot we did a few weeks ago in longport, nj. He is the third from the left, the keyboard player in the group. Ryan did all the post work on these photo’s I just clicked the shutter. You can see more HERE

A nice shoot at Brandywine Battlefield State Park in Chadds Ford, PA with mom Eric and PJ. The boys Eric and PJ were up for anything as long as we did the shoot quick.
In the end they were very impressed with how we worked and the fun they had. Thanks Barb, Eric and PJ!

Luciana and her American Doll Mia were wearing the same outfits a few days ago! How cute.

Had to get out of my Landcruiser and capture this approaching storm. Full Sun and snow it was co cool! Right after I shot these images a small blizzard passed through the area lasting only 5 minutes.

Luciana in her school parade.
Enjoy your day and weekend as much as we are.

Just a fun shot of my wife and I in front of some old metal garage door. We had a great time visiting the PhotoPlusExpo, lots of new photo products that we looked over and several close friends we meet up with. We feel it is always important to keep current and to stay on top of our game, the Expo being just one of several events we attend throughout the year.

Happy Together!

My wife on the streets of NY, another really cool Background, I love NY!

Jana and I snapped a few infrared shots after and engagement shoot at Winterthur. Look at the clouds and how dramatic the scene is with the magic of infrared! This is not a photoshop action, nothing was done in post with the exception of some level/contrast adjustments.

It was so nice to spend time with my son this past weekend. We took a trip up to vermont after my wedding on Friday. It was just a dad and son trip, picture taking hiking and enjoying the amazing fall foliage. I will be posting some photos in the next couple of days. I have included some pics of Ryan, he is really taking to photography, I am so proud of him!

Ryan on the trail to a really cool waterfall!

We stopped for some food, no shortgage of backgrounds here…

just a sneak peak, can’t wait to show you more of Ryan’s photos.

Well I hung all sixteen prints last week, wow that was tough trying to decide what print went where. I even had to hang a few prints in the bathrooms/hallway because I ran out of space in the main serving area. It was such a great feeling to hear the customers commenting on the artwork! I mingled a bit with the guests and and answered questions that they had about the trip and the photographs. Things are going well after a week, almost all of the complimentary post cards have been taken by interested customers. If you don’t know already I had 50 custom postcards made of each print for Starbuck’s customers to take with them. They are a hit! I needed to order more today. These post cards will be available for free for the duration of the show which runs between Oct 4th -Nov 3rd, After that the entire collection of 16 custom made glossy cards will be available for purchase. The price for the entire collection(16 different cards) will be 25.00. If you would like to view them check them out here
