are we having fun yet?

Yes we are!! 2009 was our first offical year "in business" as franklin photography, and we've been blessed to have had such a diversity of shoots to kick off our first year. Keith and I have had some great fun - and unexpected opportuntities - with

• jazz pianist Bob Baldwin at the Hartford Jazz Festival and with Bob and Marian Meadows at Trumpets in Montclair, NJ, and most recently -our faves - the Average White Band at BB King's in NYC;
• Keith's action photography shoots (the Barclay's FedEx Cup golf tournament in Jersey City, NJ, the US Open in Flushing Meadows, NY, & the Jets at the NJ Meadowlands (thank Carl!), as well as Plainfield HS volleyball & soccer, Cranford HS field hockey and Westfield HS tennis),
• Alberto Urmana, who gave me a glimpse into the hard owrk and efforts required in the world of body building as he competed at the 2009 OCB MidAtlantic Bodybuilding Championships in southern NJ - I saw not a steroid in site, just lots of glistening, PERFECT bodies!!
• Brenda and Tony who had us memorialize Marley Grace's Christening day - what a beautiful, beautiful family she has been blessed with!
• Dancing on Air, hot air ballooning company based in NJ, and a very serendipitous hot air ballooning sequence,
• Harry, Jake & Nola - who helped me prove animals are just very small people with fur coats on (sorry PITA - I don't think they have a choice!)
• and who can forget our Freerunners from "down the Joisey Shore" - keep up the medical insurance guys!

2009 has been a wonderful year for us - both personally and professionally. We are truly blessed, and if you are reading this, we hope you have been doubly blessed in your life as well.

As we move into 2010, we are delighted to be working with the Morristown Recreation Travel Basketball Program, and look forward to capturing some great action shots for the girl's and boys' teams.

Happy Holidays - may your New Year be filled with more love, laughter and joy than you can handle!
