The Coopers will be the first recipient of one of my brand new slideshows. I’m really excited to be offering these starting today. I couldn’t ask for a better way to show off my images. Click the play button below to take a look.

Jessi and her mom share a special moment before the service

The Zabrowskys blow out the candles

I had a great time with the Zabrowskys and congratulate Jessi on becoming a Bat Mitzvah.

I haven’t been updating the blog recently, but I will be posting a bunch of shoots I’ve done over the past two months this weekend.

We also have a Facebook page, where you can go over and become a fan of Ben Drucker Photography. You’ll get a lot of the same benefits as the newsletters: free stuff, discounts, and early notice of new offers.

We look forward to communicating with you!

• Speed. I can’t even say how much time I’ve spent tweaking things on this site so it gets to your computer as fast as possible. Despite all the images, my site loads in just 2 seconds on a cable broadband connection. Plus, it’s fully standards compliant, meaning you get the content you want with no errors, and no formatting problems.
• Design. Simply put, the new site is so much prettier than the old one. And who doesn’t like pretty websites?
• Blog. For the first time, I now have a blog. While most of the posts will feature images from a recent shoot, some posts will announce things like discounts and new offerings from Ben Drucker Photography. You can stay up to date by subscribing via the RSS link, or by signing up for email updates.
• Photos. And big ones at that. My new site features more photos and bigger sizes. Whether at the blog or the portfolios, my images are displayed in high resolution. Might as well take advantage of the broadband internet connection you pay for, right?
• Clients. Until you become a Ben Drucker Photography customers, you won’t see one of the best new aspects of the new website. All future clients will receive a free personal client page, where they can view important dates, an event checklist, click over to their proof gallery, or even pay their deposits and final payments. It’s a one-stop-shop for all the info you need as a Ben Drucker Photography client.

There’s so much that’s been added, I don’t even have the time to list all the additions. We’ve looked at what clients and potential clients wanted in a photographer’s website and designed our site around what our customers want.

Comments, feedback, or problems with the new site? Contact us and let us know. Or leave feedback by commenting on this post. Either way, we’d love to hear what you think!

Jessica and family

Jessica and her cousins had a great time posing and arranging themselves

Rabbi Cooper joking with Jessica before I started shooting. They didn’t know I was there and getting this shot until it had already been taken!

I really love this image of Jessica reading from the Torah

Jessica stands at the Torah with her two younger brothers. Her brothers were not exactly excited to be there, but we finished their shots quickly much to their delight.

Jessica’s parents watch their daughter with pride as she reads from the Torah

Josh plays doubles ping-pong with his friend. What’s really incredible is who he’s playing against.

Yes, that’s a Converse shoe in his hand. This guy was incredible. He’s a professional ping-pong player, who the Harmons hired to play against all the partygoers. And wow, was this guy good. When he used a paddle, he used one half the normal size. He used shoes, small frying pans, you name it, he could play ping-pong with it without breaking a sweat. It was truly incredible.

You can find the images from the Harmon’s family portrait session in honor of Josh’s Bar Mitzvah on my blog.
