Engagement Picture Offer

Well, the time has come for my free engagement/portrait/family photo offer to end.  I'm booked for most weekend days through July!!

The good news is...if you missed the offer, I'm still offering these types of shoots at a great discount.  $75 gets you a shoot that will last about 2-3 hours, and all of your images in high resolution on a DVD.  Please contact me for more info!

I was honored to shoot the Christening of the son of my very good friends, Glen and Celina.  Some photos will be up on the site soon, but here's one to hold you over:

How gorgeous is he?!?!  He was so good all day, this moment was snapped while he was getting ready.  More to come soon!

Back again!

Due to some unforseen circumstances, I was away for a couple of weeks...But I'm back now!

My free offer has expired (and my calendar for May and June are pretty full!), but I am offering some great deals on portrait and event photography, so be sure to ask!

5 of my photos are now on display, and for sale, at Hidden Talent Art Gallery on Staten Island. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by! www.hiddentalentartandframing.com. They've got some great work in there by some very talented artists.

Recently, I had the honor of shooting the Christening of Matthew, who is the son of my good friends Glen and Celina. The day was perfect and Matthew was so good! I'll post some proof soon :) This weekend I'm working (weather permitting) with a lovely model in Central Park. Can't wait!

It's going to be a busy couple of months for me, but I'm excited for the challenges to come! Looking forward to bringing you some new photos soon!

Some news...

Since I finally remembered to start blogging again...why not two in one night!

I'll start off with some exciting news...My website is 100% up and running!!

Check it out: http://www.amandapicone.com

Special thanks to Glen for making it happen!  You put together an awesome site--thank you!  (Check him out, too, click on the link for Lucid Paradigm at the bottom of my page.)  I hope to be adding a lot more photos within the coming months. 

In other news...

I'm currently offering FREE engagement/family/couple shots within the NY/NJ area.  Contact me if you're interested.  This will include a shoot (around 1-2 hours), and a DVD of all images in full size format.  Hope to hear from you!  Feel free to pass this along if you know anyone who might be interested :)

It's been a while...

I apologize for not being around!  There's been a lot going on, but I promised myself to start blogging again.  Here's the latest in my girly things series...

My husband and I took our dog to the park today, and I decided to bring my camera along to capture some of the first signs that spring has indeed arrived.  The flowers on this tree caught my eyes, and I got a great series of shots.  The one below is my favorite.  Enjoy!

New plan!

Okay, so it turns out I've been given a lot more to do than I had when I set out on my photo-a-day project.  Rather than toss the idea aside, I've decided to do a photo-a-week instead.  Stay tuned for this week's picture!

I'm back!

Well, here I am again! Sorry for my extended absence, but as promised, I have returned!

Here are a couple of photos from the photo-a-day project. I got a little behind, so I'm going to extend it.

Normally I shoot with a Canon Rebel XT. For Christmas, my husband got me this pink Casio point and shoot. I'm in love! It's much easier to carry around then the digital SLR, and takes great pictures. Plus, it's pink!


Another gift from my husband, though this one was for my birthday...also pink! I ride the bus in to work every day. It can be a long ride, and listening to people chatting on cell phones and snoring isn't the most fun thing in the world. Now I can listen to what I want to hear.

That's it for now, I'll be back tomorrow :)

MIA....

So sorry I've been MIA for a while.  It's been one of those weeks...well, okay...two of those weeks!  But I promise to be back very soon with all of the photo-a-day blogs I missed!  (I've been taking the photos, just haven't had the time to upload and post.)

I'll be back soon!!!!!
