Reposting the photos from the 2009 Niskayuna High School Senior Gala

By request I have searched the archives and dusted off the photos from this event! I have re-posted them for a short time only – so take a look, and tell your family and friends!

The photos are: here in our on-line store

We offer a wide variety of portrait sessions including senior and family portraits and we also do weddings!

Senior Portraits - done Your way!

Stephanie – your Senior Portrait is ready!

We had the pleasure of helping Stephanie with her senior portrait. You can see her photos here in our on-line store.

We can do senior portraits for any of the area schools including Schenectady, Niskayuna, Colonie, Mohonasen, Clifton Park – and more! A number of students visit us after having seen the designated school photographer so that they can get custom portraits done with us. We make house calls – so that you can have your portrait in your favorite environment, not just a stuffy studio! Include your car, truck, boat, etc. or the equipment for your favorite sport! We can bring our portable studio to you, giving you the widest range of options to pamper yourself. You can even schedule a BFF photo shoot. Why not, you deserve it!

PS to parents – after we take care of the senior portraits we can also offer portraits of your other children or the entire family – including the family pet!

We can also cover events such as birthday and graduation parties, Sweet 16 and Mitzvahs.

Summer fun for The Rensselaer Society of Engineers

I am proud to be a member of, a past trustee of and the past advisor to the Rensselaer Society of Engineers, a fraternity at RPI. Each summer a reunion is held, offering a chance for the membership to gather and reconnect. This summer we celebrated the renovations completed in our living room and the dedication of a small museum of artifacts. We also renewed our commitments to scholarship having awarded over $10,000 this past year.

Photos from the event are available at this link to my website: RSE Summer Reunion 2010.

Would you like to sit back and enjoy your next event? We can be booked to cover celebrations like this and can deliver a disk of high quality images for y0ur website or other usage. Give us a call at 518-225-6306 to make the arrangements!

Schenectady High School Afterprom Party – Photo Magnet Time!

We again had the pleasure to join students from Schenectady High School for their fantastic after prom party! In between activities in the cafeteria, students came to our photography “studio” to have their portraits turned into our photo magnets. The students were wonderful! Its always fun to see who has a pose already in mind and who needs a little time to ponder the options. In fact, the students were literally jumping for joy!

To see ALL of the photos, please visit our on-line store where you can view and order your favorites! On the website you can see what the photos look like in black & white like your photo magnets at the party, in full color, in “sepia” (a very flattering light brown tint) or “retro” for a slightly faded look that’s really nice!

Happy Mother’s Day

More congrats to the Order of Omega at Rensselaer!

At RPI, the Order of Omega chapter has won the 2009 Outstanding Chapter award! More information and the photo I took can be found on the RPI website. Order of Omega is the honorary society for our fraternity and sorority members and I have the pleasure of being one of their advisors.

Congratulations also to their newest members, just inducted this month.
