Lauriana Hayward

Yesterday, I met up with award-winning journalist Lauriana Hayward at her house outside Plattsburgh, NY for her photo session. Hayward has a young adult novel, published by Penguin, coming out in June 2008, so she needed some images to use for her headshot, as well as for publications. We will have a second session this August in downtown Plattsburgh for more urban images. These images here were taken in an apple orchard and in her front yard.

Josh Cramoy Band Shoot

On Saturday evening, Chris (my trusty assistant) and I met up with the Josh Cramoy Band and Carolyn and Dave Cramoy (quite possibly our favorite mother and father of the bride ever) at the Saranac Lake train station. Josh & Jeremiah are Samantha's brothers; we photographed her wedding on our first anniversary last September 17. Anyway, we really had a great time with the band, especially since they were up for all of my ideas, even if it meant climbing up on a rusty, sketchy fire escape. ;-) Here are a few shots that caught my eye...
