A Look Back at Our Favorite Images from 2022!

2022 is over, and what a year it’s been for Petruzzo Photography’s wedding, portrait, and commercial photography business. We’ve been absolutely swamped with work, which has been both incredibly rewarding and a little overwhelming at times. But we wouldn’t have it any other way – we love meeting new people and seeing so many new faces. It’s always a pleasure to be a part of someone’s special day, capture a beautiful family portrait, or know that we’ve contributed in some way to someone’s professional dreams and aspirations. In 2022, we made the decision to upgrade our camera systems. It was

A lot of parents have an impulse to expect their c A lot of parents have an impulse to expect their child to cooperate just because mom or dad said so. And, while debatably that might be reasonable for something like putting shoes back in their cubby or climbing into bed, a portrait session is different. 

For nice photos, the kid needs to *decide* to cooperate. It doesn't much matter if a kid grimaces through the rest of their broccoli, but if a kid grimaces through the portrait session, well grimace-portraits are what you're going to get. This is why I often whisper to the adults at the start of a session "Play it cool. You can pretend to be in charge, but you're really not. That kid has absolute power to hold these photos hostage."

This little girl was so stinkin' cute. She was feeling shy when we first got started, but warmed up before long. Every kid is different, and in this case, she needed to feel a sense of autonomy and control. Bossing her around made her feel uncomfortable, and made her clam up and cling to mom, but when she was involved and asked to "help" she brightened right up. She had lots of good ideas for pictures, and with a little technical help from yours truly, she gave us some really nice portraits and was more than willing to help me make some of mine, too.
