Newborn photography in the city!

Virginia and Charles – once a wedding couple, now a family portrait couple.  Here’s their little bundle of joy, dreaming happy thoughts in the big city.

I was searching for their wedding photos on all of our servers but they have long since been archived so no luck.  I did find this jem of Virginia getting ready that landed Eric a first place award with the WPJA!

Lew - That has got to be the CUTEST baby photo I’ve ever seen! OMG you can’t help but grin along! Very sweet image!

Newborn Session Winners through Destination Maternity / Prenatal Yoga

Welcome sweet baby Emmett!  Emmett’s parents signed up for a newborn session after hearing about us through Destination Maternity in Paramus, NJ!  Congratulations on your precious little Emmett.  He is absolutely adorable!  We had such a good time with this family and really felt so connected to them since our own pregnancy and birthing experience was so fresh on our mind.  We shot the session at their house in the most unexpected little nook – otherwise known as their doggie Truman’s sleeping spot.  Who would have thought.

Now I have to give a little shout out to the wonderful classes available through Valley and Destination Maternity.  Brooke and Marlie absolutely love their yoga classes.  She took part in the prenatal yoga classes at Destination Maternity as well as the Mom and Baby Yoga at Destination Maternity and the Kraft Center.

We’d also like to give Jane Silane, Brooke’s yoga teacher, a special thank you for all her guidance throughout Brooke’s pregnancy and beyond.  She is such a wonderful yoga instructor and advisor!  Go take her classes, you won’t be disappointed.

Canon SALE!!! Everything must go!!

Well, after a lot of deliberation, I (Eric) am switching to Nikon.  It’s been a very tough decision, but for my shooting style it just makes sense.  Brooke, she will be staying with Canon (she claims Nikon cameras were designed for mens hands).  So we are a bi studio:) Yowzers!

All equipment are top quality optics, receiving yearly calibration.  Whenever I buy a lens, I buy three of them, test them and pick/keep the one that is the best optics, the rest get returned (yes I’m that crazy about sharpness).  Everything is in very good to perfect condition, some have with minor scuffs but all are working perfectly.

SOLD – Canon 5dmkII – $2100   (Excellent condition, includes box, strap, 2 canon batteries in excellent condition)
Canon 5d – $975  (Good condition, minor scuffs on the bottom of the camera in the corners, includes 3 batteries which are so-so condition)

ebphoto | photographe Bruxelles - Darn, too bad it’s so late. I was interested in a few of your lenses. Funny though, I also want to switch to Nikon but my wife/partner/second shooter doesn’t want to. I’m hoping for a wonderful 1DsmkIV by the end of the year, otherwise, a D3s (or even D700) would be VERY tempting.

Nirav - Dang it! I wanted to 5D Mark 2. Haha.

Joseph Bayot - Ah, I really wish I had some extra money lying around. I would LOVE to finally upgrade my 4-year-old Rebel XT to the 5D2 (or even the 5D classic…)

By the time I save up enough money, the 5D3 will probably be out!

Good luck with the sales!

Jenny J - So tempting! Arrrrrrrghhh. I want it all.

Sarah & Andy’s Wedding at Oheka Castle

Here are a couple photos that jumped out at me as I was working on Sarah and Andy’s wedding.

Sarah and Andy had an amazing wedding at the Oheka Castle.  Oheka is one of my favorite venues on the planet, I could shoot there for days!

(to see more Oheka Castle photos, click here to see Crystal and Chang’s wedding.)

I just LOOOOOVE this photo…. my 45 tilt shift lens has a dreamy effect on this image

Classic, fun and beautiful, thess two are madly in love and it shows!!
(I also have to give huge props to Sarah for not blinking for a second when I asked her to sit in her dresss.  Sarah kicks A**!)
Sarah and Andy held the dinner outside on the castle lawn (look carefully, you can see the tables).  I don’t think you can ask for more, an amazing couple, lively guests, the most gorgeous castle, and weather to make you feel like you are on vacation.

I’m looking forward to showing you more pictures soon!

Sincerely, Be Creative Photography

Jimmy - Nice use of tilt shift. I’m so over the little people effect. Really nice shot in the hedge row too.

Designer Scarves - I just found your blog, and I like it very much! I like this set, the reflections are very good!

Nirav - Beautiful shots! Lovin’ it.

Joseph Bayot - I love how clean and timeless these are. My favorite kind of wedding photos.

These will “wow” your clients now, and they will “wow” their grandchildren 60 years from now. =)

Wedding at Helen Greek Cathedral & Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

Lara and Aaron were married in the most amazing church, SS. Constantine and Helen Cathedral. Followed by a gorgeous reception at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  One of my favorite weddings in long while!  More pictures to come…

Poor lonely blog, taking a backseat to everyone and everything:(

Putting together a blog post is a tremendous amount of creative energy and work.  Because of this, it often gets pushed off.

That said, everyday, we are working on photos and have to yell out to everyone in the office “this is a sweet photo, we need to blog this”… but usually never do:(

So from now on, we are going to post single photos whenever the heck we want!  So here we go:)

Photo from Clare and John’s backyard wedding in Princeton, NJ.  This was shot in their BACKYARD!!  Yummy!

Tim Wild - Awesome photo, I love the tilt shift effect! What a great back yard too!

Eric - Christine… no more pressure of these huge full posts!! yes!
Sarah, this is the bride’s backyard where she grew up… amazing isn’t it!

Sarah Ward - Looks like the clearing in Twilight! BEAUTIFUL!! I want to live there :)

Christine DeSavino - Love it! And love the post…I totally hear ya!
