Just a quick blog with a few samples from Chris’ recent sessions. First up we have some recent “Star for a Day” sessions:

Next up we have a few recent engagement sessions!

Lastly we have a concept style image with Mike!

If you don't know us, Sawicki Studios is a husband & wife team with me (Jen!) and Chris. Our studio is located in Amsterdam, NY, but we serve the entire Capital Region from Albany to Saratoga Springs, NY. Chris specializes in High School Senior portraits, we both photograph weddings together and now do only a limited amount of baby/children/family portraits to try to keep up with the demand of our growing senior portrait and wedding business.
Chris is a master of lighting. His images are always way out of the box, cinematic and unlike anything you've ever seen. He is without a doubt a photographic "Rockstar" in this area! I like using as much natural lighting as possible, staying simple, yet beautiful, clean and timeless. This is why we make such a dynamic team!

We had one of our 2011 wedding couples in for their engagement session yesterday. Looking forward to shooting the wedding next year.

Awesome couple that had a beautiful spring day for their engagement session. We went to a few different locations, they were good sports and were down for anything we threw at them. We are looking forward to shooting their wedding this July.


I have figured out that being out of commission for even a short amount of time brings on a very tough game of catch-up! I would really like to keep all sessions in their own blogs, but it is so hard as there are just far too many!!! (not that I’m complaining!) The studio expansion is coming along, though I must say it was a risky decision doing this during the season of holiday portraits! Everything just seems like it’s in such disarray. I will be posting a blog with images of the finished product when it’s done. We can’t wait! So here we have children, babies, families, seniors, engagements, trash the dress, CHI promotion and Beech-Nuts grand opening images all rolled up into one big blog! And one more announcement- we’ll be in the Gazette for a featured article in the Sunday paper, so be sure to pick one up!!!!



And the commercial stuff!

And the busiest is yet to come! I apologize to everyone for neglecting the blog for so long! Kids are home for the summer, weddings are in full swing, and portrait season is at it’s peak! I have noticed some issues with our email. Occasionally it seems we are not getting emails. I’m not sure what is preventing certain emails from reaching us, or from reaching those we respond to, but every so often someone says they have written and we didn’t recieve it, or vice versa. If you have contacted us and haven’t received a response, please either try again, or give us a call! We apologize to anyone this has happened to!
So today was mine and Chris’ 8 year wedding anniversary! We had a great day and despite our being busy than ever, we are trying to do a lot of fun things as a family as this tends to take a back seat sometimes, sadly. We’ve also had lots and lots of rain lately. Bummer, huh?!! Well without further ado, here is a collection of collages featuring Chris’ recent work!!

Here is Amy, who modeled for the Ugg’s promotional shoot Chris was hired for. Yes, THE Ugg boots company!! And also an underwater one since Chris has been experimenting with underwater.

Here are Becky & Adam. They are one of our wedding couples for 2009 and as you can see, they are an awesome couple who are clearly fun to work with!!! Adam loves the Batman series, and Becky loves vintage!

Here is Eric Luper- an author in the area who writes novels for young adults. If you’d like to check him out, you can get to his website here:

And lastly, just a few non-people images that Chris took- a few of the many he has taken for the Amsterdam website for the Mayor Thane:



Whew! I think I need a nap after putting together this blog! And this isn’t even including any of MY recent sessions! I think I need to hire a full time person just to blog for us! (in time, I’m sure we will!!)
A couple sessions complete with stylist service as well as a beautiful engagement couple!!



Here is one of our 2009 wedding couples. Are they not gorgeous?! April owns a great upscale salon in Albany- A&Co. We can’t wait to work with them on their special day!



Here’s a few of the stunning April:
