Megan & Chris – Long Beach Island Engagement

Ray Hennessy — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:25:24 +0000

Kim and I met Megan and Chris on Long Beach Island and just drove around and stopped at a few places for their engagement shoot. We ended up at Barnegat Lighthouse for the end of the session and we took a few pictures as the sun was setting. It wasn’t a perfectly clear day but the sun was nicely filtered through the thin whispy clouds. It was a really nice day out and we had a great time with the two of them. We will be traveling up to Wappingers Falls NY (which I hear is beautiful) for the wedding next October and I’m really looking forward to it. As always, here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

Robin & Family

A friend of Robin’s gave her a portrait session as a gift so she met Kim and I on the Ocean City beach with her two girls Madison and Rylee. This was actually the third try for all of us because Robin’s family had a bad luck streak of broken bones (2 I believe) that forced us to reschedule but it was completely worth the wait and I have to thank Robin for hanging in there.

I think the girls came to play so that’s exactly what we did and it turned out awesome. Robin seemed so excited that her girls were having fun. She had asked us for some not-so-posed pictures as she already had plenty of that style, we were happy to oblige. Rylee, the little one was hilarious, at one point specifically requesting that Kim take her picture and kicking me to the curb, haha, which was fine because I was able to get a few great shots of Madison then. We ended the evening with a gorgeous sunset and a few silhouettes of the girls playing in the ocean. Over all it was another great family portrait on the beach. Now on to the pics:

Some Sun for All

I haven’t seen much of the sun for the past 2 days so I figured it’s time to post some pictures of the sun, or sunset, or sunrise. Well at least they all involve the sun and that just makes it all better, Enjoy!

Stacey & Dave – Trash the Dress

Ray Hennessy — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:04:33 +0000

The day after my sister’s wedding Kim had the idea to take them to the beach and have a little fun. Kim had brought a wedding dress with her just for the purpose, we actually stuffed this thing into a tiny ball and shoved it in the luggage, it was hilarious when we were packing and I was sitting on this ball of a dress for 10 minutes trying to make it as small as possible. Anyway, as you can see this was the end of the dress, after it was in the ocean, we had Dave pour wine (actually some sort of cran-grape juice) on the dress and then we tossed it in the trash. Here’s a few photos from that day and you can see some of Kim’s shots here.

Worthington State Park, NJ

In the fall of 2007, I went to Worthington State Park with my father for a weekend of nature and landscape photography. There are a lot of small waterfalls from small stream flowing down the sides of the mountains which make for some awesome long-exposure pictures. Here are a few of the waterfalls:

I also found this really cool old red barn that looked awesome in the first morning sunlight streaming through the trees. I got up way to early that morning, but through my half closed eyes, I still managed to get these, so I guess it was worth it.

Swimming & Diving update

As promised, here are some more images from Charles and time Kyle as well. These two did a great job for Glassboro High School and I was glad I got the chance to go photograph them. The pool was awesome and had a ton of great light shining in that day, which really helped with the photographs. There were even spots where the sun was shining in on the water, which made for some really interesting effects, as you can see below. I’ll have more posts coming up with winter track and wresting.

Swimming & Diving

Well, I finally have some new pics to post. I went to Gloucester County Institute of Tech for a swim meet to photograph two Glassboro students. Charles Boltz, (who is in this post) and Kyle Banks. Kim came along and we both got a few great shots. Charles and Kyle were great and they both swim and dive, which is pretty impressive. After the swim meet Kim and I went to Toms River to photograph a winter track meet. It was a really busy yet fun Saturday. I’ll be posting some more images from both swim and track meet soon, but for now here are a couple of shots of Charles swimming and diving.

Here is a of photo of the small river and waterfalls that I saw on my trip with Kim to north Jersey. They came out really great, and I love how the on this one, you can see the ice in the foreground. I should have some of the photos of Kim’s friend and his daughter very soon.
