    audrey’s graduation party

    I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely young lady’s graduation party. I’ve known her mom for like, ever but glad I got the chance to meet her and her sister and the rest of the family (some of which I have also know for a loooooong time. This is what happens when you get old!) My other friend Christie’s (of make up by christie fame, recently featured here as well) husband and his band, Jerry & the Newcomers were playing the party so I got to see and hang out with them a bit too. This is what also happens when you live in the same town for like, ever also.

    magnolia dance

    A different kind of senior session (plus two juniors) but one i LOVED photographing. These kids have been dancing together for many, many years and are super close friends so they wanted to capture some special moments together at dance, at play and in some graduation attire. Mission accomplished! Wishing these kids all a wonderful senior (and two junior) year! I can’t wait to see where life takes them all.

    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!

    the “vector academy” graduation

    These best friends parents put on a special graduation for them because one of the friends was leaving for the Air Force Academy prior to the actual Manhasset High School graduation. Since he’d miss graduating with his friends they made sure he did! How awesome is that?! The whole Vector thing is some big inside joke that I won’t even get into, but suffice it to say these boys are friends for life. The video montage was awesome- moving and hysterically funny as was the speech by the Air Force dad. Wishing them all nothing but luck in the future. It’s a bright one for these guys!
