Family Vacation | Martha’s Vineyard

I’ve been dying to blog our family vacation to Martha’s Vineyard ever since we got back last summer, but alas, work comes first sometimes. Well, now is my chance to relive some really great experiences in one of favorite places to vacation. This year we rented a rustic little “Writer’s Cottage” which was VERY secluded and right on a pond which led to the Atlantic. What I love about MV is just how rustic/unspoiled it is, combined with its diverse topography and its perfect size for exploring. There are amazing beaches, some with clay cliffs, free form casual rock sculptures, an incredible little fishing village, farms, forests, great biking, quaint towns, sailing, awesome views of stars, nature preserves, the agricultural fair, art galleries, and I could go on and on, but you get the point. In fact, while we were there we saw President Obama. Ok, maybe it was just his motorcade! I can’t wait to get back, but for now, enjoy some of my photos from our vacation.

One of the farms we visited on MV. I had to wait a long time to get this one!
Not what you think!
Long day.
This is one of the ferries you need to take to get to MV.
I love when stuff like this happens!
We went for a small adventure on one of the Black Dog’s tall ships.
This is my favorite beach, not only for the clay cliffs, but also for the random rock sculptures people make.
This little seal decided to bask right on our little private beach next to our kayak. Of course we named her Lousille.
This is a view down Scrubby Neck road, one of the roads leading to our Writer’s Cottage.
The stars were the most amazing I had ever seen.
And what are vacation photos without some shots of the little ones?
This was fun. I didn’t have a tripod with me, so I had to rig up a crate I found and prop the camera up to the right angle with some rocks. Then I found a couple of large rocks and threw them up over the water, and lit them with my head lamp.

Hangin’ with the Flynn Family

As I was mopping up stuff I wanted to blog from 2010, I came across a great afternoon I spent with my friends the Flynn family last fall. We just hung out in their back yard, and I grabbed some photos of little Holden and his big brother Sawyer. Thanks for the laughs guys!

I never get tired of seeing little kids wearing their dad’s shoes!

One Last Blast of Winter!

Although it just snowed here in NJ, the funny thing is that I shot these a few months ago! This was one of those really big storms we had during this past winter, so I headed out into my backyard to see what I could find. I love when I can spend an hour or two just shooting whatever interests me in the moment.

Martha’s Vineyard 2010 | Teasers

I just got back from a wonderful vacation from Martha’s Vineyard with my family. We had an amazing time together and I can’t wait to blog it. However, I am behind on blogging weddings so this will have to be put on the back burner for now. So, I will only post a few for now, but will certainly revisit this down the road!

I couldn’t believe how vivid the stars were out where we were staying. This was taken about 50 yards from the “Writer’s Cottage” we rented, which was right on Deep Bottom Pond. Those splashes were from me throwing rocks into the water during a long exposure and lighting them with my head lamp.

Acadia Maine 2005

I dug back 5 years for this blog post. These are a collection of photographs I took while visiting Acadia Maine back in 2005. It was an extremely wet and rainy trip, but I managed to snap a few shots here and there that I thought were worth sharing. It’s a pretty diverse collection and I’m not sure it really screams “ACADIA” but hey, you shoot what’s available at the time and make the most of it. Enjoy!

Walk Abouts

In case you guys haven’t noticed, I’ve had a few weeks off recently. It’s given me time to work a little on my business, spend more time with my family, and take it a little easier. So, with no new shoots to show, I have been digging up the past so to speak. For this post I have dug back several years ago when I used to go on photography “walk abouts”. I would just start off somewhere and then begin wandering around to see what I could find that interested me. I have collected a few photos to show you from a few of those wanderings. I will be posting new work towards the end of April, and it will be pretty steady through the end of November, so stay tuned for all of that!
