Sarah Hempel Irani - Artist Portrait

It's always an honor to be complimented by other artists, let alone be hired by one to help her promote her business.  I was so happy to be able to help the ever-fabulous Sarah with a photo shoot to help revitalize her website and professional imagery.  (As of 1/22/15, the images on her site are not mine, but check back in the future for updates!)

Sarah is an inspiration in our little town.  She was a major driving force in the founding of Grove City ArtWorks, a gallery and artist studio space in Olde Town Grove City, PA.  It's a place where artists, myself included, can have their very own solo gallery show and where community members can come to talks, plays, concerts, camps, and workshops, all of which make Grove City a more beautiful place to live and visit.

In her own work, Sarah is an award-winning, classically-trained sculptor.  In the images below you'll see some of the works in progress in her studio.  She's done a number of sacred art pieces that now grace Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church in Maryland, among other places. For the month of February, her work will be featured at Grove City ArtWorks, and Sarah will be hosting a number of events during the month to round out the artistic experience for visitors.  Check the ArtWorks website often to stay up-to-date on what's happening when.  You can even join their mailing list by emailing grovecityarts @ gmail . com if you're interested in regular updates about upcoming events at the gallery.

Mercer, Pennsylvania Family Photography

Well, it's been a busy summer so far, and once again, things have been quiet on the blog.  That does not mean I haven't been busy with various photography projects, though.  I met Nicole, a fellow artist in the area, a little less than a year ago, and I was delighted when she asked me to photograph her family on their beautiful land in Mercer, PA.  I was even more excited when she told me that her family was interested in incorporating my editing style into their portraits.  Using photoshop to bring out a romantic, ethereal quality in my images is one of my favorite things, as you might guess by looking through my fine art work, so the opportunity to take portrait photography into that realm was a challenge I was more than happy to take on.  I enjoyed working on these, and I hope you enjoy them too.
