“What should I wear for my Engagement Session?”

February 23, 2018 by Armen Elliott Photography

Scheduling an engagement session with the same photographer that will be photographing your wedding is a great idea! You’ll get to know each other a little better, and after you see how wonderful you look in the photos you’ll feel more relaxed about having your picture taken on your wedding day. If you’re wondering what to wear, I would suggest an outfit you’d wear on a nice date. If you decide to wear a dress, just be sure it’s something […]

Sweet to Steamy Lehigh Valley Engagement Photo Session

July 30, 2014 by Armen Elliott Photography

Getting to know each bridal couple a little better is the real reason I suggest scheduling an engagement photo session. It’s a low stress, photographic adventure which will later remind the pair of how they looked and felt before they got married. Of course it’s important to get the sweet, close-up portrait of them that mom will carry in her wallet but capturing the chemistry between them is incredibly important too. Sarah and Frank grew up in the same hometown […]

At Monday night’s Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival, ICE (International Contemporary Ensemble) burned up the stage with the help of two luminaries of the contemporary music world: conductor Ludovic Morlot and pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard. The New York Times’ review of the concert was glowing. It was with great delight that I could photograph their rehearsals for the four days prior to the concert and watch such talented musicians work on these challenging musical pieces.

Senior Photo Session

April 13, 2010 by Armen Elliott Photography

Lafayette College‘s campus is home to a matching pair of magnificent 100-year old Japanese cutleaf maples. So when I discovered that my latest photo subject liked trees and climbing, I had to show him my favorite trees and get this ‘Avatar-like’ environmental portrait. It looks like he’s high up in the canopy of a tropical jungle. I also suggested that he check out the North Summit Climbing Gym in Wind Gap…the people there are kind, cool and knowledgeable. Lafayette’s five-year […]

Arshille Gorky Retrospective in Philadelphia

February 19, 2010 by Armen Elliott Photography

I was lucky enough to see the Arshille Gorky retrospective exhibit on its last day at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Gorky holds a place in art history as the last of the great surrealist painters and a pivotal precursor to American Abstract Expressionism. As a teenager he witnessed the Armenian Genocide by the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent death of his mother. His iconic self-portrait with his mother is shown in the museum’s pamphlet for the exhibit, displayed above. After […]
