New Site


It's a long time coming but I finally put up a new site for Virgil Stephens Photography. Couldn't be more happy with the results!

Suzanne Doig is greatly talented designer who I met working for the NYPL a few years ago. We became friends, and for some time she has been suggesting to me to redo my photography business' image/ branding. Early this summer we began meeting, discussing what the site should do, and how to showcase the photography best. Shortly after she worked up a few different looks to try, but I think the one settled on was the hands down winner.. A good look and an very easy interface. Katie Senft is another designer who worked with Suzanne to build the site. Along with this new website we've got new graphics and promo materials to share with prospective clients. The site went up just in time for Labor Day Weekend. Nice job Suzanne and Katie!

Summer Vacation

Just got back from a great summer road trip with Malissia & our dog Luna. We drove a big loop from Hoboken through North Carolina, stopping in Chapel Hill, and Waynesville in the Appalachians. On the return leg we went back up through Virginia taking country roads and checking out Charlottesville before wrapping up with a 4th of July cookout at our friends the Thomas' in the DC beltway town Oakton, VA.

I did a lot of shooting in the mountains and at the road stops.

Semi-refreshed, or extremely road-weary I returned home to Hoboken New Jersey appreciating all we have going on here.
