Ridgewood NJ, People say, “It’s not the camera that takes good photos, it’s the photographer”, and this is completely true. Yet there’s a reason professionals use expensive gear – they are better for the job.  However that doesn’t mean you need to go out and spend $10k on a set-up! Definitely not. Many of my clients express an interest in going beyond the cellphone for travel photos, but don’t want to be a professional, so here are a few suggestions for you.  Note:  Take cameras with you as carry on and remove the batteries as well.  I made the mistake in the past checking my gear in and they removed my batteries. I ended up paying a fortune to replace the batteries – ugh.

Reader says it time to take Photos parking spaces all over Ridgewood CBD on different days of the week, ordinary and holiday

Ridgewood CBD

I wish people would take photos of parking spaces all over town on different days of the week, ordinary and holiday, and at different times to show in aggregate that parking IS AVAILABLE. A large number of photos documented at various times and days of the week would tell the story. Walking a couple of blocks is good for your health! And unless you’re going to a Hudson St. or S. Broad Street venue, you’ll walk a couple of blocks (or much more) from the garage anyway. Please VOTE NO on June 21 and get an absentee ballot if you can’t.

Ridgewood NJ , braving the snow and the cold,some residents took a walk yesterday during the snow storm. Our ace photographer Boyd Loving hit the town to capture some idyllic snow scenes in the Central Business District in Ridgewood .

How much snow residents report anywhere from 11 to 24 inches.The Village posted 20-28 inches forecasted .

Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld said in a Facebook post , ” We have plowed the mains at least twice. We have about 40 trucks out on the roads working, So far we are keeping up with the snow which is now estimated at 15 inches into the evening…..where we need help is for residents to not park their cars on the streets – it really hampers the clean up effort and unfortunately we have hit this situation too many times since we started early this a.m. We just sent a Nixle message out and we will communicate as things change or progress. We would love for more people to sign up for theses as well as e-notices…..stay safe, Roberta”

And now weather advisory would be complete with out a ROBO call from the Mayor : 11:15 – MSG from the Mayor: (Reverse Call)

Good morning.  This is Ridgewood Mayor Paul Aronsohn, and I’m calling to give you a quick update on the winter storm.

The Governor has declared a State of Emergency … and the National Weather Service has increased projected total snow accumulation in our area to 10″-15″.  This includes heavy bands of snow.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect, which means that the roads are dangerous … the winds are strong … and you are urged to stay off the roads and stay at home.

Village crews and contractors have been out in full force with about 40 vehicles on the road.

On-street parking throughout the Village is prohibited until the streets are cleared or until further notice.  This is very important.  To effectively plow the roads, we need all cars off the streets.

Please check the Village website for storm-related updates … and please sign up for email notifications.  And to the extent possible and necessary, please check on your neighbors.

Thank you and be safe.
Paul S. Aronsohn, Mayor
Village of Ridgewood

Portraits for Business and Lifestyle

Portraits for Business and Lifestyle

In today’s modern age with all the social media:  facebook, linkedin, twitter, Instagram and so on its critical that we showcase ourselves as we wish the world to see us.  People tap into your life through these social media websites and peer into your world.  I offer Business and Lifestyle photo sessions to showcase the way you want to be viewed.  Its a natural photojournalist approach that has a modern contemporary feel to it.  No one wants to see overly posed photographs that appear to pretentious, but rather natural and artistic photographs.  Images say it all.  If you are running your own business, looking for employment, getting back into the dating scene, or simply longing for images of you with your loved ones for memory keepsakes this is perfect solution.

A simple headshot might seem like something anybody could do, but there are a lot of nuances that people don’t think about. What kind of lighting do you want? What should be in the background? Do you want to present yourself in formal attire or in something more casual? Should the image show you working or just smiling at the camera? These are all questions that a skilled photographer can answer, and  be able to put you in just the right position to get the perfect shot.

If you have a business to promote, a good headshot can give your company a personal touch by giving customers a chance to identify with the person you choose to be the face of your business. If you are searching for a job, you can use a commercial picture to draw more attention to your application, and give potential employers an idea of whom they will be hiring. In any of these scenarios, having a commercial photographer on hand will help you make these decisions and properly promote yourself. You will be able to set just the right tone for anything you want to do.

I offer on location and or in studio sessions. Suggested packages are listed on our website:  www.ArtChickPhotography.com – Call Kristine 215-650-7052
