Bébé Hudson


Anyone who has ever taken pictures of babies knows that it is rarely an easy task.  They may be sleepy, hungry, or distracted.  Or they may just not be interested in having their picture taken at that time (hey, that sounds a lot like a husband that I’m married to).  Sweet Bébé Hudson was nothing but a joy to take pictures of.  His mommy had him nice and full (or milk drunk as I call it).  He was only happy coo’s and spit bubbles.  I can’t wait to take more pictures of this family!

Cold Spring, NY

Insanely early one fall morning, I left the house with coffee in one hand and camera in the other.  A short while later I was wandering around the quaint town of Cold Spring, NY.  Cold Spring sits on the east bank of the Hudson River directly across from West Point. There are some incredible views of the granite walls of the military academy from the town’s dock.  I was with a group of photography students and as we walked along the streets we watched the town wake up.  There was plenty to take pictures of - quiet coffee shops, antique stores that were filled with some interesting treasure (or possibly just junk), and the neighbors putting out their former collectables for a yard sales. Such a great town.  I can’t wait to go back to make more pictures and get the fabulous vintage coat I saw in the antique story. It was certainly not junk.
