Lindsay & Ben

Paul had a lot of fun photographing this couple's engagement photos over the weekend! He knows Lindsay from his gigs at Johnson & Wales University when she was a culinary arts student. Lindsay & Ben were up for some fun shots and I think they look great!

newborn baby

I had the opportunity to photograph a newborn baby this weekend - she's still counting her age in days instead of weeks! A beautiful girl with a beautiful name - Savoya. Can you believe she is already smiling? And so little, only 6 lbs.! I love to photograph babies when they are this little. You can't really see it on these images because I have to size them down to post online but on the full size images you can see she still has that baby fuzz on her arms and legs. Precious. I can tell her parents just love her! The only snafu was I'm always on time for a session but I had written the address down wrong and so my map quest directions were totally off. Luckily, I called from my cell phone and my clients gave me great directions from the crazy place I ended up so all worked out. That was a good lesson to me to confirm directions even in this day of GPS and the Internet. Savoya did so great! I am always amazed at these newborn babies!

Design News Assignment

Paul shot this series of images for Design News Magazine for their monthly "Gadget Freak" article.  Zach, the model/stuntman/inventor, built this vehicle. It's an air-suspension setup (for a car, but he built a test bed for it for demonstration) that will set its height to a specified value of your choice. There was less than ten minutes to shoot because Paul found the best location right on top of a dam but when the authorities showed up they chased them away. Apparently, Paul and his subject were in violation of new Homeland Security rules. Thankfully, they gave Paul an extra two minutes to finish up the shoot.
