Winter Mini Session for Victoria Detweiler and her new husband

Winter mini sessions.

Victoria Detweiler booked a session for all her extended family but it was so cold that day that the rest of the siblings chickened out.

I always say that the brave and stoic get it all. Victoria’s session turned into a romantic shoot with her new husband who went along with any idea I came up with on how he could say “I love you” to his young bride in a silent photograph.

I wish all the happiness in the world to this sweet and beautiful couple.

An Ode to Winter with a Macro Lens

Still testing my new Nikon camera, this time with a macro lens Nikkor Z 105mm f/2.8.

Love this prime lens for its versatility. It’s very sharp and produces really beautiful portraits with a swirly bokeh. I can capture a dog running at me at full speed or a bird taking off from a tree branch or a feeder.

Having switched to the macro mode, I can fill the whole frame with a close up of a water droplet frozen mid-flight from a tree leaf at f/18, still hand holding the camera.

All this beauty was captured last week and now the Winter Wonderland has melted away and Spring is in the air. Can’t wait for the cherry blossom!

If you would like to lend me your dog to test this camera’s boundaries, please reach out. :-)

From Pennsylvania with Love - February 2022 edition

New Nikon camera with Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 again.

I had to bring this lens again into the woods as the light conditions were perfect to capture the sunshine reflected in every single icicle on the the branches. In my eyes the sparkly winter wonderland wins over the bright-colored fall foliage we enjoy in Western Pennsylvania

I wanted the snow fairytale and I got it and now it’s gone sadly. I must say judos to Joyka who patiently waited for me stopping every five minutes and completing our morning hike only by lunchtime that day.
