Holiday Cheer

Every year, I have the good fortune of helping families to spread holiday cheer by crafting portraits for their holiday cards. Below are a few of my favorites from 2010.

This triptych was a small tri-fold, and I thought the colors were so cheery! I also loved photographing Barney the dog.




This wonderful family splits their time between New York and Denmark, so it was important to them to capture the essence of their New York City home. They wanted to share an entire collection of photos that would serve to tell a slice-of-life story.


One of my absolute favorite shots of 2010 was this one of Cecilia playing in the leaves. Her mom, Suysel of Tilton Fenwick, is a veritable arbiter of taste, and mounted an actual photograph onto 600# cardstock with stunning letterpress on the front and beautiful, feathery design on the back.



I also thought it would be nice to share some of my personal holiday moments. My brother Stephen brought his cat Levan to my parents' home in Ohio, and Levan and I had a little shoot under the Christmas lights.

Happy New Year, 2010

My clients impressed me with their taste and creativity this past holiday season - having each designed a unique expression of themselves to share with family and friends. Their self-conceptualized holiday cards included everything from pre-designed matte finish flat cards, to custom letterpress with hand-mounted prints, to custom graphics-enhanced glossy prints, to photo-quality folded cards. Below are some of my favorite holiday cards sent by my clients this past year, featuring portraits I shot in November and December.

Hip for the Holidays - Rock-n-Roll Family Portraits!

This weekend's family portrait shoot in Brooklyn ROCKED! Highlighted by some brilliant family photo set-ups, the day also included tasty meats and cheeses to accentuate the bubbly... and Hope, Faith & Gluttony absolutely smothered us in tasty sweets like cookies, cupcakes, and butterscotch bars - plus special gift bags with more treats for the road!
