    sara & ryan get engaged!

    Ryan is a longtime client and to say that my head was spinning when he asked if i could come shoot his proposal photos would not be an exaggeration! I mean he’s still a little kid in my head who HATES getting his picture taken! Time does fly by! Here is our lovely and artistic rendering of how we were positioning the proposal. And here are the resulting shots from the actual proposal. She said yes! Congratulations to Ryan & Sara and thanks so much for having me along for the ride!

    kipper the puppy

    When I heard they were getting a new puppy after losing their beloved Henry, I knew I had to meet him and photograph him as soon as I could while he was tiny and fluffy! And he was sooooo fluffy!!!! I’m sure that by now he’s already so different looking and so much bigger. But this puppy phase was the best to capture!

    the leho family

    I’ve been photographing this family for years and years and I’m so sad this may be their last shoot with me. Well, it’s definitely their last shoot with me at this house. They just made a BIG move to Colorado, permanently. I’ve watched all the kids grow up and now I’ll probably only get to see their next adventures on Facebook. Hopefully, I’ll get to visit them out in their new home (I mean, pictures in Colorado? I’m so in!) and have some time to hang out with them. Wishing miss E the best of luck at Purdue starting next week! Wishing the whole family lots happiness in their new home!

    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!)

    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!
