merry christmas {in nyc}
Cannot even believe it’s Christmas Eve. So much to do, so little time!!
Two weeks ago we went into the city for our annual Christmas traditions- seeing the tree, the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City, FAO Schwarz and dinner. A few of the photos from the day (all taken with my new Fujifilm x100- love my little point and shoot!)
Bob didn’t want to stay home alone, especially after he heard we were going into the city for Christmas adventures!
We ended up going to the tree much earlier in the day than normal but it was getting so crowded that we didn’t go back after the show. 
A visit to FAO- after waiting on line to get in (!!!). Timmy was all about the Legos and chocolate. Jack has an issue with down escalators. 
Which of these things is not like the others…
I could have left them just in the lego section for about a month and they would’ve been perfectly happy.
Some cool window displays. Anthropologie.
The Chrysler Building- my favorite.
Louis Vuitton. That red suitcase is amazing!
A dog in a ridic outfit. 
And dinner at the midtown location of Peking Duck House. I had no idea there even WAS a midtown location, but it was delicious and exactly like the one in Chinatown. And a lot closer for boys who were exhausted after a long day. 
Eagerly awaiting the duck. 
It was the Christmas we were introduced to Chinese Turkey. It’s staring at me. Fa ra ra ra ra. (you better know what movie this is from!)
Can you find the little Christmas tree?
Hope all of you have a very merry Christmas tomorrow filled with love, family, friends, blessings, good times….and pictures. The blog will probably be quiet for a few days while I regroup and enjoy my long, long awaited vacation. I’ll be posting again before the end of the year, so come back and visit. -
bob needs some aftercare
My favorite Bob to date I think. Hoarder Bob. Complete with Flat Dead Cat, and something that may or may not be Junior Mints.

bob says “mooooooo”
The pictures speak for themselves. However, the funniest part of shooting this was my friend and around the block neighbor driving by and seeing me do this and just laughing…

10 for tuesday
Wow, it’s been a looooong time since I posted one of these. So busy with client sessions, no time for anything else.
1. Well, as of Sunday night around 2:30am I finished editing all of the 2011 shoots to date!! I’m so excited and relived!! And maybe even a little sad too that it’s over. I do have two sessions left for the year before vacation begins on Saturday. One sweet 16 and one family session for a soldier who is coming home on R&R from Afghanistan. Really, really looking forward to that one!
2. A while ago I was contacted by a friend’s sister who is also a TV reporter. She also happened to be someone I photographed in the past as part of her extended family session. She was putting together a piece on women who started their own businesses and she wanted to feature me! Craziness! So we scheduled a date and had a full session with some of my favorite models and an interview on camera and the whole works. I don’t know if it’ll ever air, but if it does I’ll be sure to let you know. Or not, if I look like a giant ass.
3. Some cool moon shots from my back deck.
4. Timmy was bored one day and decided to get all his animals together, and I was instructed to photograph it. He kinda reminds me of that scene in ET.
5. Between working on all the 2011 session, stuff around here for the holidays and just life, I’ve been working on a whole new bsquared for 2012. New branding, new packages, lots of changes. It’s all really exciting and overwhelming and I really can’t wait to share everything with you all. I’ll be working on rolling everything out by mid to late January- probably a little at a time. So be on the lookout for all of that and send me some good, productive thoughts.
6. Just a few Christmas scenes from around here, including the holiday brunch at the club and our awesome Hanukkah wreath from the equally awesome Sullivans. More to come.
7. After receiving my new Kindle Touch in early November and having it sit in the box it was shipped in since then, I finally got to open it. Loving it and how tiny it is. Looking forward to finally reading in Florida. I don’t have a really good book list to share yet because I haven’t been reading at all lately. But am hoping after the trip I’ll have a few books to share.
8. Some photos from my recent shoots in central park. My photografriend Amandarelli came along for the day to help me out and keep me company. I didn’t feed her but other than that I think we had fun! (I didn’t eat either, I’m not that mean!!)
9. I posted this on Facebook, but I am officially losing it. I bought Timmy a few Wii games last month and hid them so well that I cannot find them. So I spent yesterday morning in GameStop buying the same games. Twice.
10. I had a great Christmas party last week with my photografriends. We had some awards that night and I won a few: Most Energetic, best logo (a 3way tie but I’m glad I didn’t change my logo afterall!) and Most Likely to drop the Fbomb. That last one is definitely true!!
Back tomorrow with some Bob posts. Have a great day!

sarah’s bat mitzvah
This post has been a long time in coming since Sarah’s Bat Mitzvah was at the end of October, but I think it was worth the wait. It’s going to be a long blog post so get comfy. I’ll try to keep it to a minimum on the text so you can just enjoy the pictures from this fabulous (and I do mean FABULOUS) event.
Sarah had her Bat Mitzvah at Central Synagogue and I met them there before the ceremony since no photos are allowed during the service.
Sarah and her family lived in Hong Kong for a long time (in fact she was born there). Some of her friends from HK came in for her special day. 
The whole gorgeous family over at Temple Avodah where the party was being held. 
Sarah’s theme was “Life is a Fairytale”, and let me tell you that the party sure was!!
A few of the amazingly gorgeous details. 
The cocktail hour was unbeliveable with a hotdog stand, hamburgers/sliders, a tapas and shot bar, sushi station (with Sarah’s name spelled out in sushi!), gourmet ravioli, and on. 
And the main room of the party. Drop dead gorgeous, right? They did not miss one single detail. 
The kids area.
Let the fun begin!
Watching the video.
Just some of the desserts offered. They also had a whole ice cream bar, a Hagen Daaz cart and about a thousand other little goodies.
All the kids also went home (exhausted) with a favor drawstring bag which included a Sarah’s Bat Mitzvah sweatshirt and custom water bottles and custom cookies. See what I mean about not missing a trick!?
Thank you so much for letting me photograph your day! I’m calling you to plan my next party!
