CLIENT: SORA Development

"AUBRE"  – This was part of a series of portraits taken of SORA employees for their website and company literature. All photos were lit dramatically,
evoking a feeling of warmth, and were retouched to make the employees look their very best. (It helps when you have a pretty subject, like Aubre!)

CLIENT: SORA Development

"PAUL" – Part of the same series (as the previous photo) of SORA employee portraits. The rich, highly-saturated, warm lighting
on Paul dramatically contrasts with the stark black and white stripes created by the aluminum blinds in the background.
 

CLIENT:  SORA Development

"GREG & TOM" - There were 2 keys to making this photo of the SORA principals look so "out of the ordinary."
First, it was important that they didn't look "stiff";  instead, there is a feeling of the two being "relaxed" in front of the camera.  
Second, was choosing to take the photo at the right time of day, where the sun warmly drenched the construction site behind them.

CLIENT:  WATERLINE AUTO SPA

"GEORGE"  – This portrait of was taken of the owner of Nick's Pizza, and a regular customer of Waterline Auto Spa, for their series of Testimonial ads.
My goal was to capturing people's personalities through natural expressions and natural lighting. Don't you just want to hug this guy?!

CLIENT: WATERLINE AUTO SPA

"JACKIE" –  Yes, it helps when you have a beautiful subject to begin with….
This is Jackie, one of my favorite clients!

CLIENT:  WATERLINE AUTO SPA

While this group of Waterline employees takes cleaning cars very seriously, they try not to take "themselves" too seriously.
Hey, if you're going to have to shoot a group of employees, you might as well have fun!

CLIENT: YMCA of Gloucester County

"IT'S TIME TO CHANGE" – I couldn't resist including this Cover Photo for the YMCA's fundraising appeal to renovate their facilities.
(This adorable little boy is my son Payton at age 8.)

CLIENT: BOWE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PTO

"MR. CLARK LIKES BATMAN" – Part of an Award winning portrait series of elementary school teachers with props signifying their hobbies.
It introduced students to the "personal" sides of their teachers. Using color for the props over B&W photos emphasized their "interesting" sides.

CLIENT: BOWE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PTO

A few more of the series of teachers in B&W with colorful props of their hobbies or pastimes. A total of 45 photos were done…a pro-bono labor of love.

CLIENT:  CONGREGATION B’NAIL TIKVAH – BETH ISRAEL

"REBECCA & TORAH" – If you ever carried a torah (they weigh a ton!), you would realize how patient little Rebecca was
in allowing me to shoot over 300 photos, in order to get the best shot for the cover of this synagogue's brochure!

CLIENT: SYNAGOGUE FAMILY

"RACHAEL" – Her sparkling brown eyes and graceful waves of her hair reflect the
beauty, poise and inner joy of this teen who was about to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah.

CLIENT: CONGREGATION B’NAIL TIKVAH – BETH ISRAEL

"DIANE & ART" – One of the major goals of the synagogue brochure was to communicate the warm "welcoming" feeling of the congregation.
If you knew Diane & Art, you'd probably realize that this photo captures their friendly personalities to a tee.

"RACHAEL" – Her sparkling brown eyes and graceful waves of her hair reflect the

CLIENT: THE ROTH FAMILY

Portrait of Ethan for his Bar Mitzvah.

CLIENT:  ANNA & ANDREW KLINMAN WEDDING

"MARIELLE WITH A BLUE FAN" – Every once in while, you can capture a photo of a child that has a "magical" feeling like this one.
The way the light falls over her face and her expression of wonder could only be achieved by the sheer luck that candid photography brings.

CLIENT:  ANNA & ANDREW KLINMAN WEDDING

"SPARKLER KISS" – Sparks really did fly when this couple culminated their vows with a kiss at their 4th of July wedding!
It took a bit of retouching in Photoshop to make this work, but when the bride saw the result, she was all aglow!

CLIENT:  ANNA & ANDREW KLINMAN WEDDING

"CHEYENNE, BEN & BECCA BY THE LAKE" – With their arms locked in friendship, you can feel the warmth
between this ring bearer and junior bridesmaids, posing in front of a lake at this 4th of July wedding.

CLIENT: DELAWARE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

"NASREEN & COMB MUREX SEASHELL"  The museum's Collection
Manager of Mollusks holds one of our planet's fascinating seashells.

CLIENT: DELAWARE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

"HALSEY IN THE MOUTH OF A DINO"  Rather than a "straight shot", this one shows the museum's
Executive Director peeking through the jaws of a dinosaur.

CLIENT: BORO OF GLASSBORO & SORA HOLDINGS

This photo captured the landmark Groundbreaking of Rowan Boulevard in downtown Glassboro.
Shown here, with shovels in hand and their dark suits
contrasting against the huge mound of dirt behind them, are
Donald Farish (then the President of Rowan University) and Mayor of Glassboro, Leo McCabe.
The photo was used on the cover of a magazine.

"IRIS & GABE"
This photo was made for the cover a this duet's CD. Iris sings and Gabe plays the Chapman Stick guitar, which is usually played by tapping the strings, rather than plucking them. For this reason, it can sound many more notes at once than some other stringed instruments, making it more comparable to a keyboard instrument.

"NEIL PLAYING GUITAR"
I especially like the chiaroscuro lighting on his face, his relaxed pose, and the warm orange and brown tones.

CLIENT: KAREN, SETH & HANA CAUGHRON

Amazingly, this mom, her son and grandaughter all share the same birthday - June 23!

CLIENT: JEN & COREY MEEKS-GARDNER / GREEN ZEBRA

This photo was taken spontaneously at this couple's Grand Opening of their restaurant, "Green Zebra" on Rowan Boulevard in Glassboro.
Although not planned, the green everywhere in this photo was a serendipitous surprise!

ARIZONA AGAVE

While visiting Arizona, I was captivated by the patterns and symmetry found in the native agave plant, especially when shot from above and cropped in tight.

BERMUDA AQUA CHURCH

Besides being awestruck by the beautiful colors and geometric shapes of
Bermuda's architecture, I was serendipitously surprised by the slight
damage in the facade of this church – which symbolically formed three crosses!

PERFECT PEACOCK

A touch of skill, as well as a touch of luck, helped in capturing this peacock flaunting its feathered plumes.

SAILBOAT THROUGH THE ROCKS

Taken in Bermuda, I caught this image of a sailboat just as it appeared through an opening in the rocks.

ATLANTIS AQUARIUM

Capturing a beautiful moment in time through this silhouette of my husband and son at the Atlantis Aquarium.

CACTUS FLOWER
A bright orange flower and fuschia bud add a spot of color and beauty to a sea of cacti plants.

"It is stunning! One of the best photos that I have bought on Etsy!" – Nancy Squyres
 

ILLUMINATED CONCH
This gorgeous conch shell appears to be illuminated, but it is actually naturally lit with sunshine from the window.
