    ronnie’s birthday & bar mitzvah anniversary

    One of the best ideas for a party, ever! It was Ronnie’s birthday but instead of just celebrating a regular birthday, Ronnie decided to throw a joint birthday/anniversary of his bar mitzvah complete with games and a candle lighting ceremony! The party was in the penthouse party room of his apartment building with amazing views and lots of family and friends to help celebrate. I was so happy my aunt Mardi asked me to photograph the day! And if I lived in this apartment, I would get absolutely no work done because I’d be staring out the window at my favorite NYC building- The Chrysler Building. Happy birthday and Bar Mitzvah anniversary!!

    virginia’s 85th birthday

    As usual, still posting from this past fall, it I definitely couldn’t forget about this birthday! Virginia is just a force. Strong, smart funny, beautiful and just an amazing presence in the world. And there is zero way she’s 85 because she is so young at heart. She was super surprised (which is good cause it was a surprise party!) and her granddaughter namesake flew in from college which was probably her favorite surprise! Happy (extremely) belated birthday to Virginia!

    rosa’s 80th birthday

     

    Now that’s a birthday worth celebrating BIG! My friend/pilates instructor/massage therapist Denise and her siblings put together a great birthday party for their mom with family in from all over the country to help celebrate. Since many family members live out of state, they haven’t been together in a really long time because of covid. So not only was it a celebration of Rosa, it was a celebration of family. I was invited to stay for dinner (omg, such good food!) and hang out with the family and Denise said she was proud that I “survived” my first Dominican party. Not only did I survive, I had so much fun! And I made her promise to do some Salsa with her awesome hubby for me- which they did. That was awesome! Wishing Rosa the happiest 80th birthday. And I’m so glad no one beat me with their chancleta.

    alexandra’s 50th birthday

    When Nick (Alexandra’s husband) got in touch and asked me if I was available to photograph her 50th birthday party, I was soooo excited! Knowing Nick and his absolutely amazing taste, I knew it was going to be an extravaganza. And it really was!! The details were beautiful, the venue unbelievable and lots of my favorite clients were there too! Alexandra looked beautiful and I just love capturing her while Greek dancing. She is a dancing queen! There were a bunch of family shots too, but we’re holding onto those until after Christmas, but I’ll be sure to post a few here in the later winter. Hope Alexandra has all her 50th dreams come true!
