Earlier this month I had the pleasure to photograph two lovely friends of mine: Rita Strough (who talks to Angels) and Mike Gross (a.k.a. “the Wingman”). They are co-hosts of Talk’n’Angels radio show which airs live every Wednesday night on 1460 AM radio from Florence, NJ and online on blog talk radio.
I had photographed the two of them a little over a year ago, but was never really happy with the photos. (Heck, I had a good excuse – I had a couple of cracked ribs and could barely hold my camera much less use any lighting equipment.) But this time I was nice and healthy, and we had a gorgeous spring day – who could ask for better!
The photos were shot outdoors at the Ryerss Museum in the Burnholme section of northeast Philadelphia at Central & Shelmire, just off Cottman Avenue. The cherry blossoms were vibrant and the sky was a rich blue, so although I generally love black-and-white, today was a day where color ruled! I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. Thanks Rita & Mike for being such fun and fabulous subjects!

Okay, I had to do some black & white!
Beautiful photography, beautiful subjects:)
Well done
I can only say beautiful so many times for your work, so I’ll just comment on my favorite shots. The ones at the beginning, AMAZING! Love the light and how naturally gorgeous they are together.
Hi I am also a photographer. I was on google and seen your link and just had to say hi. I am still in school for photography so I’m still learning. I really like what I see on your site, I’d love to talk photos.
– is this at the aquarium? i alomst thought the building in the background was the sky and that you were using gels to get it so blue hahahaha! anyway, great image, love the glow of the sun which appears to be very low in the sky hehe!
