SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY

University at Buffalo College Football....Buffalo Bulls

I am a die hard sports fan.  I come from a very competitive & athletic family.  We are a baseball & football family, and not so much in agreement about our team preferences.  I am a Yankees fan and my oldest son is a Mets fan.  At least we agree on our BILLS...we are very much Buffalo Bills fans.  Sports photography is by far my favorite!!  I have done some college baseball and basketball, but being on this college football field at this game was so incredibly AMAZING :)  It was PURE adrenaline!!  The experience was awesome as I had imagined it to be.  I will be shooting for the Buffalo Bills this 2012 season.  The thought of being on an NFL field, shooting for my favorite team and doing what I love is unimaginably a dream come TRUE :)

Animal Photography

April 2012 ~ Carmela was so much fun to follow around and get some neat photos of her. I was amazed how photogenic she was. She almost knew her photos were being taken because she would pause and "strike a pose" for the camera. Ha Ha. It felt like I was photographing a person, not a dog. I developed a new love even more so for animals and especially photographing them.:)






This is my favorite photo of Mela.  More candid, but such a cool shot of her jumping in the air :)

Rachel & Jonathan Wedding 10-07-2011

I was SOOOO excited to be part of Rachel and Jonathan's special day! Their chemistry together was so radiant :) They were so great to photograph and absolutely adorable together. The weather was perfect for outdoor photos. Could not have asked for better weather :) It was so awesome to see such a lovely bride & groom become one. I was fortunate to have met so many nice family members and great friends. Congratulations to you both :)
Rachel & Jonathan....SO IN LOVE











BEAUTIFUL BRIDE & GROOM :)
SUCH A HANDSOME LITTLE GUY

Hive Lifespan Center 04/2012

I was so psyched when, Chris Salisbury, Owner of Hive Lifespan Center, asked me if I was interested in photographing his staff, instructors, trainers, etc.. This opportunity was very appealing! Being a member at his club, I knew a lot of his staff. It was really awesome meeting the new crew. I spent a few weeks photographing everyone and I was impressed by each trainer and instructor. Great job to all of the staff at Hive Lifespan Center :)


Published Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing WBFF Pro, Frank Budelewski in 2011. Frank has been a great friend of mine for almost over 20 years. After submitting our photos to Muscle-Ink and Fit & Firm Magazine, my work of Frank was published. **BEYOND EXCITED & HONORED** Frank has many achievements in the Bodybuilding industry and has decided to compete in August 2012. Expect more photos and blogging about his winnings. *Kudos*

Fitness Photo Shoot

Stefan Henn

Today was a super fun shoot with Stefan! It was hard keeping the camera still from laughing so hard. Aside from his hysterical sense of humor, Stefan has always been into fitness. He started playing sports in 6th grade. As a young kid, with the mindset of becoming an athlete, he used the bare necessities to build muscle and stay in shape. Stefan is a high school teacher as well as the head coach for the Lacrosse team at his high school. His students admire is athleticism and commend his passion for weight training. Stefan is so committed!! At 5 a.m. he is at the gym working out and doing his cardio before work every day. I applaud him for being in such amazing shape in his 40's. I promised not to throw his age out there, but looking the way he does in his 40's....age is never an excuse :)
