Last week I was shooting photos at Synergy Health and Fitness in Exeter, NH. The photos were to be used as part of a project to update their website.
Its always a challenge to shoot and give a sense of people using a facility without having the clients be identified, so mentally I was prepared to shoot lots of silhouettes and backs of heads. (more…)
Shootinga wedding seldom allows time to really shoot anything for myself – I’m so focused on the bride, groom, wedding party…and party that an occasional frame is about all there’s a chance for.

It’s been a labor of love – and sweat – and frustration – and major help from friends old and new…but the new website is finally live.
