2009 Best of Kids…

After a couple of relaxing days (ahhh…), I’m really excited to post my best of kids blog! It’s been tough choosing my top ten photos, but also really fun to revisit all of the family and preschool shoots I’ve done this year. Enjoy!!!

Stay tuned for best of engagement shoots…

Fayez, Mira & Sami

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!

(I hope to post more soon!)

Ed, Amy & Atomu

I had a wonderful morning roaming around DUMBO. It was (unseasonably) warm and kids were all decked out for Halloween! I saw some pretty adorable costumes. Before I head to New Jersey to celebrate the holiday myself, I wanted to post a few shots from my shoot this morning. I met up with Ed, Amy and Atomu in DUMBO. We had a great time together! Though shy at first, Atomu quickly warmed up and, by the end of the shoot, was using both the Holga and 5DMKII like a pro!

I’ll post more images soon, but these are a few of my favorites!

Brian, Jeanne & Sawyer

I wanted to quickly blog some photos from the first session I did this past Saturday morning. Bright and early, I headed to Queens to photograph Brian, Jeanne and Sawyer in Flushing Meadow Park. We were all really concerned about rain but, though we had a back up plan, the weather miraculously cooperated with us! Sawyer was a real trooper, as it was pretty chilly out. We got some great shots and had a fantastic time. I’m excited to share these images with you!

Meet ‘baby girl’

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!
