What's a float wrap?

How many times have I heard this question? So many that I decided it deserves its own post!

I had heard they were beautiful, but hadn't actually seen one until earlier this year. I did an engagement session 1 week before Jay and Lucy's wedding (which is getting posted this week for you all to see! :) and they called me up and asked me to please make 2 of their pictures big for display at the wedding. The perfect opportunity to get the first float wrap.

So I went with the 16x20 and displayed it on an easel. This is what it looked like on their gift table...



I was pleased, more than pleased... and so were they! It's a new take on a canvas wrap, a truly stunning piece of art. They add dimension by extending out from the wall and are unique in that they appear to be floating on the wall with the main focus on the image! They are also arrive ready to hang, there is no framing involved.

Here are some pictures of the ones Jay and Lucy ordered from their wedding.





Below is a view from the side so you can see how it sits out from the wall about 3/4 of and inch.



So there you have it, that's a float wrap. Truly spectacular :) I love them, and am excited to be offering them in my line of products! Let me know if you have any other questions about them, or if you would like to order one from a previous session.

Hot Mama Photo Shoot November 2010

It was only a few short months ago that some friends and I came up with the idea to do pictures of women only focusing on making them look and feel hot. The wheels started turning and some phone calls were placed, reservations were made and advertising material was created.

The shoot was offered at a very reasonable introductory price of $95 at the Woodcliff Hotel and Spa and included professional hair and makeup styling as well as a 5x7 and 10 images to choose from.

Here's a look at the room and some of the beautiful women that signed up.

To say this was a success is an understatement, I was blown away with the response and interest and am planning to do this again in the late Spring 2011. Keep coming back to see new photos (maybe of you!) and for details on upcoming shoots and events.

ONE more chance ;)

Taylor and Rebecca down the aisle

A beautiful and balmy day here in Rochester, NY was the setting for this rooftop wedding at High Falls. The bride getting her make-up on as my second photographer Andrea and I arrived and a bustle about the hotel room as everyone wrapped up the finishing touches.

I love the pre-wedding excitement. My favorite part is that there's always a resolution... seeing each other as the bride walks down the aisle :)

The sun was bright June 5 and I feared we would have more shadows and squinting than we wanted, but the sky was ever so blue and all exposure turned out magically.

Here's to you Taylor and Rebecca as you continue your journey that began as you walked back down the aisle :)

Sam and Bethany tie the knot

It seems like so long ago that I was waiting for the day I would get to walk down the aisle... photographing Bethany and Sam's wedding was extra special for me as it was exactly one week from mine :)

And now, almost 6 months later here we are. The wedding day comes and goes and then real life begins. Bethany and Sam are such a fantastic couple to work with... Congratulations... a few months later ;)
