For the past few years, I’ve photographed the incoming president and officers of the New Jersey Education Association.

We photograph corporate headshots of each person, individual portraits, group photos, and candid photos of each person working.

We always try to show someone’s personality in a portrait. Sometimes photographing someone who is in certain professions such as law enforcement or judges is difficult because they are very guarded.

I had photographed this judge previously so I knew I’d be able to capture a nice portrait. It worked out even better than I expected and we collaborated on a great set of portraits.

It’s always exciting to see your portraits used so well on the cover of a magazine.

For this portrait session, we photographed executives of the New Jersey Education Association inside a school in Union.

I have been fortunate to photograph the association’s leadership for a number of years.
