It is my honor to present the “40 under 40″ Breast Cancer Project, a powerful portrait series celebrating young women in battle and triumph over breast cancer.

For over a year, I have been working with Faith and Hope Boutique on this compelling series of portraits that celebrate the beauty, grace and courage of 40 women diagnosed with breast cancer under age forty.  The work is garnering national attention with inclusion in the prestigious Women in Photography 2008 exhibit, and nods in Rangefinder Magazine and The Photo Review.  You can read about the project here and  view a slideshow of the work here.  (note: some nudity)

You are invited to attend the opening of the exhibit at our Courage Night Event October 7th, 2009.  (Download your invitation)

Following the opening reception, the show will hang October 11th through October 29th at Photo612 Gallery in Haddon Heights, NJ as part of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign.  The exhibit will travel throughout the year culminating with a book project, currently in production.

In honor of the event, our studio is hosting a “Portrait Marathon” offering 40 portraits in 4 days for only $40!  Please come out and support the courageous women who participated in this important project and help us raise money for Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure.

Winter weather has officially arrived and hit the Philadelphia area hard and fast!  With temperatures dropping and the forecast calling for snow, it is the perfect time to think about your WINTER STORYBOOK PORTRAIT SESSION!  This summer I introduced my SIMPLY SUMMER coffee table albums which quickly became a client favorite, so I decided to re-create the offer with a winter weather twist!!  The storybook are customized 10×10 hard bound coffee table books uniquely designed with your favorite images from the session.  Call today for all of the details and to see a sample!!  215-668-6168

Snowball fights, holiday tree trimming, family skiing get aways… even an indoor activity like making cookies or playing a board game make for a fabulous storybook. Get inspired this winter and together we will create a keepsake that you will cherish long after the snow has melted! 

These are the days… don’t take them for granted!

I am extremely honored to be among some of Philadelphia’s the top photographer who were chosen for inclusion in the 2007 and 2008 Focus Philly Exhibit!  The 2008 show is currently hanging at the University of the Arts and will travel to various venues all over the city throughout the coming months.  Members of the American Society of Media Photographers, set aside their normal commercial and editorial work to explore more personal subject matter.

ARTIST STATEMENT: Inspired by the controversial article titled “Bad Parents,” written by Tom McGrath for Philadelphia Magazine in August 2007, I was moved to echo his sentiments about today’s generation of the “worst parents ever.”  With this self assignment, I chose to document the pressure cooker environment that children are growing up in while striving to achieve all of their imposed “potential.”  This series entitled “PMS PreMiddle School Syndrome” depicts the discontent and frustration expressed by our children who are essentially being robbed of their “childhood.”  It is my hope that the viewer will be moved to re-evaluate his/her own contribution to our society’s current parenting problem and take the necessary steps to get the kids off of the “success treadmill” and back out onto the playground where they belong.
