Why hello!

September 8, 2010 – 10:45 pm

It’s been crazy busy. Summer is coming to an end and fall is nearly here (bring on the pumpkin pie and sweater weather, I’m ready). I have been shooting nonstop, which feels amazing, but I know I’ve been neglecting my blog and that doesn’t feel so nice. I know, I know, it happens…

So I wanted to post a peek at a few of the shoots I’ve done over the past few weeks. Lots of variety – which is lots of fun! Surprise proposals, teeny tiny newborn, huge wedding parties, vineyard weddings and shotgun weddings! It’s been a real blast. I promise everyone will get a dedicated blog post, but for now…

Meet baby Aviva:

And the above is only the beginning, there is lots more to come. It’s been a lot of fun! But yes, sometimes I do feel like this little one:

Baby Photographs – Layah!

July 15, 2010 – 1:02 pm

I wanted to quickly catch up on blogging before I shut the old laptop down for a few days as I head to Mexico for Stacey and Chris’ wedding!

Meet Layah. She’s the absolutely adorable daughter of my friends Jamie and Matt. I was really excited when they asked me to photograph her and, even though she was due for a nap, Layah was all smiles for her shoot. I had a wonderful time both photographing and catching up with old friends. Thanks for a great shoot!

Newborn Shoot – Eli!

June 15, 2010 – 1:35 pm

Meet Eli! Eli was only eight days old when these photos were taken. I had a wonderful time working with him and his parents. Usually during newborn shoots, the babies are fast asleep. Parents are always trying to get them to open their eyes, if only for one photo. Eli was the opposite! He would not fall asleep and it was adorable. He was wide-eyed for the first hour and a half of shooting, until he finally fell asleep in dad’s arms. Once he did, he was out and we were able to capture some adorable sleeping photos! Enjoy…

Will

April 21, 2010 – 12:32 pm

Meet Will! He is an adorable four month old who you will be seeing more of throughout the next year, as he’s a ‘Grow With Me’ baby. I had so much fun photographing Will and his parents (and Olive) on Sunday. I also was melting over all the baby things, such as knitted cowboy boots, baby uggs, and converse. Okay, maybe it was just baby shoes?

Will was so happy the entire time and we got so many adorable images that I’m excited to share!

Noah

April 19, 2010 – 3:47 pm

This is going to be a week of many blogs (I hope). In four days, I did six shoots and I intend to blog them all…

We’ll start with Noah! I first met Noah when he was just born and it is amazing to see how much of a little person he’s turned into in just six months! He is totally adorable and was such a trooper the entire session – I don’t think he got upset even once! Here are a few shots from our session together on Saturday morning. Enjoy!

2009 Best of Babies…

December 22, 2009 – 2:30 pm

Wow. When I started going through these baby photos, I was amazed at how many babies I’ve photographed this year! Obviously photographing babies is a total joy and picking a ‘best of…’ selection was really hard. All my favorites ended up being black and white images, which I found interesting. I’m going to try to keep my ‘best of…’ posts to ten images. So here are my top ten favorite baby photos of 2009…

Fayez, Mira & Sami

November 14, 2009 – 6:05 pm

Oh my! It’s been a crazily busy time here, but it feels fantastic. I spent the past week filling lots of holiday print orders (hooray for people thinking of things early!) and posting hundreds of preschool photographs in their galleries! On top of that, I’ve been photographing newborns and families and booking weddings for 2010 – I’m just having a wonderful time.

I’m also happy to mention that I have a minted storefront. Anyone who did a 2009 shoot can visit and order holiday (and other) cards directly from Minted using photos taken during our shoots. If you aren’t familiar with their work – check it out (click me)!

But now onto the title of this post… New Yorkers were so lucky to have such amazing weather last weekend (as it pours outside my window while typing this). Last Sunday I headed uptown to photograph Fayez, Mira and Sami. We spent some time in Central Park (further north than I usually visit – which was great!), their apartment and then at a nearby playground. I think we got some great holiday card shots. Here is a sneak peak at a few of my favorite shots – thanks you guys for fun morning!

24 Hours

November 4, 2009 – 10:25 pm

I really, really, really love my job. Some days, when I’m on my way to ‘work’ I get the urge to pinch myself, because it’s hard to believe that I actually get to do what I love to do for a living. There many things I love about being a photographer, but the best things of all are the people I get to meet and the places I get to go.

I’m also luck to be a photographer in New York, because I have an endless supply of amazing ‘backdrops’ and I try to never take that for granted. I also think its amazing that I get to interact with so many wonderful people! From musicians, to new parents, to couples in love, to aspiring actors, to hysterical pre-schoolers… how could I ever get bored?

I’ve been super busy lately, so blogging is going to have to take a bit of a back-seat. But here is a peak at all the fun shoots I had in the last 24 hours (minus all the film I’ve been shooting, which I hope to post soon!).

Meet ‘baby girl’

October 16, 2009 – 2:33 pm

Sigh… This little one is so new to the world that, when I photographed her yesterday, she had yet to be named! She is just beautiful (with some really awesome hair!) and I wish her family all the best. Stay tuned, you’ll be seeing lots of newborns as I’ve begun to photograph for Gaga Baby Photos, which is just so exciting! Being around so many newborns and excited moms and dads, it’s an amazing feeling. You can’t help but smile nonstop – which is a pretty nice thing to be doing at ‘work’!

Enjoy!
