About Us

Welcome to the contemporary photo studio of Paul Grupp and Brenda Rose. We are partners in life and business, and we create all types of “social” photography – weddings, engagements, beauty, portraits, headshots, musicians and bands, maternity pictures, and glamour photography. This website (http://mybpix.com) is dedicated to glamour, beauty, and boudoir/b-pix photography. http://upstatephotographers.com is where to go for our wedding, engagement, and maternity photography. http://albanyheadshots.com is where to go for our professional headshots and photography for musicians.

We know you have many choices for photographers. We think what makes us special is our unique combination of photojournalistic storytelling and fashionable art. Our photographs capture spontaneous, real emotions and feelings, not some stiff pose that’s simply not you. Most importantly, when your event or session is over, we don’t just burn a CD of unfinished images — we specialize in beautiful presentations ranging from DVD montages you can play back on any TV or home theatre, to elegantly-designed fine art-quality coffee-table books, to large custom prints you can hang on the wall.

Whatever your needs, we can provide photography that fits you perfectly! Our studio is conveniently located at 353 Broadway (between 3rd and 4th streets) in Troy, NY 12180. We also work on location in Albany, Troy, Saratoga Springs — anywhere throughout the Capital Region and Upstate New York.

Paul Grupp: Photographer

Paul is a full-time photographer working on location and in our studio in Troy, NY. After 20 years in creative services, publishing, high-tech marketing and product development, he left the corporate world in 2003 to follow his life-long passion for photography on a full-time basis.

Paul has shot dozens of assignments for newspapers, and spent two and half years as staff photographer for the NY State Senate. His work has appeared on the websites and in the catalogs of many companies and organizations, and in a diverse set of publications ranging from 944 Fashion magazine to Landscape Architecture, to The Saratogian, The Troy Record, and The San Diego Troubadour newspapers. His photographs were featured in the book Erotique Digitale published by the Ilex press. Many musicians use Paul’s photography on their websites, promo pix and CD packaging. Today, weddings, headshots, and portraiture are Paul’s primary work, and he couldn’t be happier! Paul is based in the Troy/Albany/Saratoga Springs area of upstate NY.
