High School Sports Portraits

I really enjoy photographing portraits. The sports portraits are a lot of fun because the kids are so much fun to work with. They have a lot of energy and really want to have a good time. I have a good time with all my portraits because they look for me to make them feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the lens.

The light on these is a single lamp with an Octobox for softer light.

I love matching the sky so you can see the color and the clouds.

Godox Octobox as my main light source, but now I also have a “kick” light behind them for some added drama and it brings out the net for an interesting backdrop.

Holy Confirmation Photography

Photographing religious ceremonies like confirmations can be both a privilege and a responsibility, as you’re tasked with preserving important memories for those involved. It is a special experience to witness such a significant event and to document it for posterity.

I use a Godox collapsable Octobox to get a real nice soft lit subject. I like the affordability of the Godox product and it is very reliable too.

These kids are so fun to photograph. I have to calm them a little by telling my bad jokes, but it loosens them up for the portrait. They will soon meet the bishop who will then anoint them at the altar.

Confirmation is a Sacrament in the Catholic Church in which the one who is confirmed (confirmandi) receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the imposition of hand and anointing with oils by the bishop. It’s considered a sacrament of initiation which means that it brings you deeper into communion with the Church.

Fashionably Westport Photography

Hello, fashion enthusiasts and community supporters! Videler Photography is thrilled to bring you highlights from this year’s Fashionably Westport event, where style met philanthropy in the most beautiful way. As the official photographer, I had the privilege of capturing the essence of this special occasion, where fashion-forward Westport came together to raise funds for Homes with Hope.

The hairstylist were very busy.

So fun to see a library made into a fashion show.

Fashionably Westport isn’t just about showcasing the latest trends; it’s about making a difference. This year, the event outdid itself, with a runway show that not only highlighted the creativity of local designers and boutiques but also supported a great cause. Every twirl, every pose, and every outfit captured by my lenses represented a step towards helping Homes with Hope in their mission to assist people experiencing homelessness in our community.
