About Us
I’ve been shooting weddings, bar mitzvahs and various corporate and private events for decades. I’ve served generations in several families. If I am not able to take the job I attempt to steer people to a viable alternative.
How We Got Started
The photographer who shot my wedding offered to train me in the craft. Various ethnic groups celebrate events differently. After 2 years of assisting I had the confidence to go out on my own. Various studios gave me assignments which enlightened me as to how to keep people coming back.

"I need more weddings to be performed so I can take more pictures. He’s local and I don’t have to deal with the ground rules in a church. Why shouldn’t couples get married under God’s blue sky?"

In addition to my business I’m the current president of a camera club. One of our members is excellent at editing. He was wondering if other photographers are lazy like me. Every once in a while there’s an odd issue with an image. He’s a master at resolving issues. He’s excellent with computers the way I am with people. If you’d rather not spend time at the screen and keyboard let me know. Time is money and he’s worth every penny. All right, it ain’t gonna cost pennies.
You’re not alone. No one wants their pictures taken with masks on their faces. Rent and utilities will make you go under. Find a job with Amazon or something else until life gets back to “normal” . With all this down time I decided to clean house. Many weddings I did on film I still had the...

You’re not alone. No one wants their pictures taken with masks on their faces. Rent and utilities will make you go under. Find a job with Amazon or something else until life gets back to “normal” . With all this down time I decided to clean house. Many weddings I did on film I still had the negatives from. People I still remember I gave them my negatives of their events. There are people on these negatives that have died that the relatives can share with surviving relatives. When things get back to normal it will remind them I’m still out there. Yes, film was a long time ago. I’m not afraid of doing the next generation.
I’d love to share but I’m not a veteran. I have a client who has asked me to restore vintage pix from his military days. It’s like a class reunion for him.

Most events that I photograph involve crowds larger than now allowed . Once this virus thing is over I’ll get back to work. I’m not going to borrow based on future speculation. I have enough in reserves to get through this. This year we dealt with COVID19. Don’t think COVID23, 25,30, etc is...

Praying helps! You may have to bight the bullet while we’re dealing with the virus. My son’s was supposed to be December. Groups of certain sizes may have to be trimmed to the A list only. What do you do when the groom is the youngest of 10 siblings to get married? Immediate family alone goes...

Family groupings and individual portraits are possible but the family dynamic can restrict that. Longer lenses can give you the social distance but quality decreases.

Self employed. I shoot events. Locations are closed. When they open I should work again. In the meantime I stay in touch with past clients who may have relatives or friends with events in the future.

Luckily I have no events scheduled for this time period. If another studio has a photographer get the virus I could benefit by filling in. Stay tuned.

The 1st one is free. I volunteer with local historical societies around Christmas. Who doesn’t want a picture with “Santa “? They wind up saving the pictures or send them as Christmas cards. Those images remain in their subconscious mind. Many couples get engaged at Christmas. It’s fresh in their...
