Baby Liam – Newborn Photos
Baby Liam came into my life at just four days old when he granted me the honor of being the first newborn I ever held. So for years from now when he finds this post, I want to say thanks for not peeing on me, buddy! ?
Island Beach State Park
Hey Blog, it's been a while! One of these days I'll treat you the way you deserve to be treated.
Until then, here are some shots a I grabbed on a recent adventure to Island Beach State Park with fellow photographer and anti-blogger Tim Kauger.
Jean and John’s 50th Anniversary Party
I had the honor of photographing a milestone within Caity's side of the family -- her grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary.
Peace Tea Ukulele
I've got to say this -- I've never been happier to own a smart phone. Thanks to the fine folks at Peace Tea and my trusty iPhone, what started as a day trip with Caity ended with a free Ukulele and a care package from a major brand!
Ring Around the Sun

- Learn all that I could about what made it happen
Silversun Pickups and Bad Books, 5/5/13
Washington, D.C.-based music blog All Things Go was gracious enough to invite me to photograph Bad Books at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ. (Thanks again, Jared!) All "Cinco de Drinko" jokes aside (if it's going to have a stupid nickname, shouldn't it at least be "Drinko de Mayo"? Who do I talk to about changing that?), the band put on a great show, complete with faux-Counting Crows covers and plenty of witty banter. Bad Books, a side project of Manchester Orchestra and solo act Kevin Devine, were invited to support Silversun Pickups on a US tour.
Red House Roasters, Real New Jersey Coffee
If you like great coffee, appreciate hard-working small businesses, or just want to support a good cause, buy a bag of coffee from Red House Roasters in Union City, NJ. These guys travel the world to find new, exotic flavors from farms that respect their workers, utilize natural farming methods, and above all, have prime coffee beans.
