Jake's Birthday Weekend :)
This was not a "professional" photoshoot, more just a few snapshots of my brother and mom when we travelled home for a weekend together. No photo-techie talk for this one. :)
Happy Birthday, buddy.

Babschi
I went to visit my Grandma a few weeks ago and snapped a few snapshots of her while we we chatting. She does not try to hide from the lens as much as she used to! I love her so much; my Babschi. :)
EDIT: I thought it would be nice to briefly add some details of the shoot! Babschi was sitting in a recliner about 5 feet away from a window with indirect light. I shot her simply and tried to compose the shot as a classic portrait. Her face is so expressive and graced with the lines of old age, it was easy to create a beutiful image.
As we were talking I crouched down and moved a bit closer for the shot of her hands, also only lit by the light from the window. I love that she still wears her wedding bands, just on her middle finger now that her ring finger has bcome too tiny! :)

Vermont Trip - Visiting Adam & Jen
A new post; YAY! For Valentine's Day weekend this year a few Penn State couples took the journey to Burlington, VT to visit our friends Adam & Jen. they were wonderful hosts and had us on excursions for the entirety of our travels.
First we hit up some ski shops to find some last minute ski gear (as almost EVERYTHING was sold out by February in New Jersey!) and later that same afternoon to Boyden Valley Winery. Which, by the way, has so many good wines Vanessa and I shipped a box back to NJ to share with the family.
On Saturday we got to enjoy our snow-filled winter with a full day of skiiing at Smuggler's Notch. It was amazing! Perfect weather, snow squalls all day and we tried dozens of trails on our way down the mountains. WOW!
Later in the weekend we visited a "green" restaurant called Pink Magnolia, toured the Magic Hat brewery and finished out trip with a delicious stop at Ben & Jerry's. It was a great weekend. There was so much stuff going on I am almost ashamed to say that my pictures were few and far between! I was able to capture a couple shots to memorialize the weekend. I hope they give you a taste of what we experienced. :)
Enjoy!
