Roc Star Headshots!

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot the local travel team's headshots the last couple of weeks. I always enjoy doing these as there are just so many awesome people involved with roller derby and I try to catch their individual charectors in their photos. And that my friends, is no easy feat as these girls have way more charector than can be capture in one still imamge! :) But I'll keep trying, as long as they keep asking me to :)

For these I went with a black on black style, trying to make the photos more punk rock, since after all they are the RocStars!

Here are just a sampling of the final images. More can be found over on mitchsgallery.com

More info on the Roc City Roller Derby league can be found at their website: rocderby.com

Hope to see you at their next bout!

Ashley + Keith :: Engaged

Ashley and Keith drove up from their home in New Jersey this holiday weekend, and lucky for me they were
able to make some time for an e-shoot while they were here!  To top it off, the weather cooperated too :)

We met at Badgerow park, with their new puppy Emma for a few shots.
Then headed down to Ontario Beach Park for some more fun photography on the beach!

I love dogs!  And what a cute family :)

Then to the pier!

I couldn't resist going black and white with this one:

Ashley had this great idea, and I loved how it turned out!

Along with the sunset, we had a 'sun dog'!

A great way to end the evening on the beach.

Jeff + Michelle :: married

Oh I am so happy for my cousin Michelle and my new cousin Jeff :)
They are the cutest couple, and I just had to get a few shots of their wedding this past weekend
because it was just so nice! 

It only rained during the ceremony and I think it added a nice touch to the magical day.
Holiday Valley were great hosts, and their venue & hotels are top notch..

Congrats you guys!

Even in the rain it was beautiful.

Jeff couldn't be happier

Their happiness is so contageous!

There are a few more in their short gallery here too!

Bob + Alex :: married

Congrats Alex & Bob!
What a great weekend in Northern Vermont :)

The ceremony was held at the United Church of Westford.
And the reception took place at the barn at Boyden Valley Winery.
Both great places for a wedding!

We stayed at Smuggler's Notch, and can't wait to get back up there, it was awesome.

The cute jugs are of some locally made, world famous maple syrup!

I loved the portico on the front of their church, the men looked so great there :)

And the women just rocked it on the front porch of her parent's home:

The inside of the barn was just great, I didn't know what to expect, but man when I got there I was impressed:

Firestations

I recently took a few photos of some completed projects for Bergmann. 
The subjects are local fire stations, I actually worked on the first one as well,
from schematic through construction admin.  So it was great to get to document it completed!

Here are a couple of the exterior shots I got:

timmy :: visiting

So my little nephew was in town for Easter! 
I just had to take some photos of him while he was here, he is just growing so fast!

Steel Magnolias Bout

Heather had a derby bout this past weekend, so I got a press pass and went to the dome with her to document it.
This time, however, I decided to try some off-camera flash at the bout.

Man, I think it worked out well :)
