    erica & rich get married {the reception}

    The last part of this awesome wedding with lots of family and friends to help celebrate the happy couple and happy family. A speech by one daughter (bride’s), a song by another (bride’s), and special parent dances with a son (bride’s) and a daughter (groom’s). And so, so much dancing and celebrating! Congrats to Erica & Rich- wishing you both many years of happiness!!

    Brendan & Luke graduate

    More of my favorite Manhasset crew (and one of the families that I said I was just going to move into their pool house) had a graduation luncheon for their boys and families. Luckily, Brendan and I have finally come to an understanding. He loathes me taking his picture every year but this year we came to an agreement. Just in time too, because he was at like every Manhasset event I photographed in the last few weeks! Congratulations to both boys (whom I’ve been photographing since they were really little!) and good luck at Villanova and Michigan!! (And sorry to them for having to put with me for all these years and future apologies for the future too for more shoots, hopefully!)

    christina & despina’s graduation party {on a boat}

    These two families held a giant joint graduation party for their girls on a yacht around NYC. It was quite the event and everyone had a great time with lots of dancing, fun and WIND. The skylines were a gorgeous backdrop for the gorgeous girls and their families. I’m sure you’ll see lots of my favorite Manhasset families in attendance and I want to thank them for recommending me to Christina & Despina’s families. Congratulations to the girls and all of the Manhasset graduates!

    dr. palmieri’s party

    Both mine and the boys’ orthodontist Dr. Palmieri and staff throw a big party for all their patients every year. Since they missed the last few years due to Covid, they changed it up this year to an outside, not at an arcade at Christmastime party and they asked me to come and take some pictures. We have a lot of mutual clients/patients, but I’m not posting their pictures here- just the staff having some fun. The party was so fun- races, the carousel, kickball, face painting, tabletop games, bbq and the ice cream truck at the end was the best!

    nate’s graduation dinner

    Big congratulations to Nate and family on his graduation from Friends Academy and his acceptance to Cornell! Big things happening for this young man! The dinner at Toku looked amazing (I had sushi there another day and it was deeeelicious!) and I was so happy to hang out with this awesome family. Please send them some good thoughts today- all is well, there’s just some stuff going on they could use some good juju for. Can’t wait to hear all about Cornell at our next session!
