Portrait Photography at Beavertail in Jamestown RI
I am SUPER proud of this one! We got the whole enchilada right on this one. Great weather, great location, and a wonderful couple that relaxed into being photographed and we got a superb portrait! We showed up at Beaver Tail in Jamestown RI and it was a little breezy and cloudy which was perfect! I set the exposure to underexpose the background a little, and set up an umbrella which my lovely assistant Lucia held in place because of the breeze (see set up shot) Lit with a speedlight and using my Pocket wizards to trigger the light, I waited for the light house to spin around and shine the light in our direction and Click we got it!
Rhode Island Portrait Project DMP Painting
have another installment of my very exciting portrait project. I love my community and there are some amazing people making Rhode Island a wonderful place to live. I have decided to photograph the people who are really making “IT” happen here in my community in a (hopefully) creative and fun way that tells a story about who those people are and what they are doing for their respective businesses.
I photographed Mike Moffitt of DMP Painting recently for my Rhode Island Portrait Project. DMP does excellent work and has really made a big and positive impact on our community here in RI with not only their excellent work painting commercial and residential projects but also with their Home Make Over Project which has dramatically changed the lives of some wonderful people in South County RI. Because of this great work that has made such a big impact I wanted to make an image that had a BIG impact as well. Mike was a total sport to get completely covered in Blue paint and even painted the color of the wall in his home for this portrait! The pretty young lady is his daughter who I think really sets off the photo in a wonderful way!
For those of your who are interested here are some set up shots
Bat Mitzvah Photos Narragansett RI
I photographed the Bat Mitzvah of Leah Franklin-Silva recently and it was a Super fun event! If you have never attended one there is a lot of tradition and history to live up to for a young person. Most of 3 hour ceremony is spoken and read in Hebrew. Leah did a wonderful job with it though and moved though the day with grace and confidence! Way to go! We were able to get a few photos with Leah and her family outside at the North Beach Club in Narragansett before the rain came. And when it came it REALLY came down… But at one point in the evening the kids and I snuck outside into the pouring rain for a photo!!! How fun!!!
Coastal Gourmet provided the wonderful food and as always did a GREAT job! Here is their website
Wedding Photos at Blithewold Mansion in Bristol RI
Mikhaela and Tony Got married at Blithewold Mansion in Bristol Rhode Island yesterday and WHAT A DAY IT WAS!!! Wow it was a roller coaster of weather! First it was SUPER HOT and sweaty then the Clouds came up and a nice light breeze swept over the wedding and then that built into incredible winds and lightning and rain! We had to evacuate the tent right in the middle of Mikhaela and Tony’s first dance! Everyone left the tent and filed into the Mansion for about 45 min until we got the ok to go back out side. Mikhaela and Tony were AWESOME!!! We actually had fun with it!!! After we got back into the tent and the Black Tie band kick it in then the dancing began and we had a blast!!! Thanks to all involved for a wonderful night and mostly congrats to the lovely bride and groom!
