    kellenberg pre {not a prom} prom party

    I have to say how awesome and polite and well mannered all these kids were! Everyone at the party was all “please” and “thank you so much” and just easy and nice! I loved that they just went as a big, fun group- no actual dates- just a lot of friends having a lot of fun. We luckily missed the torrential rain for the pictures but I hope it didn’t mess up their boat ride that night. Best of luck to all of these graduating seniors and their parents- they’ll go on to do great things! Oh, and the funnest part was my beach neighbors were at the party too! Its always weird seeing beach people in clothing. You know what I mean.

    maya’s bat mitzvah {the luncheon}

    Another fabulous part of this fabulous girl’s bat mitzvah. They held a lovely luncheon at Limani in Manhasset with just a few of Maya’s friends and lots of family. It was really lovely with everyone important to Maya and family there to celebrate. Maya’s grandpa had all of his 60+ year BFFs there (they all grew up in the same building in Queens) and then one of their daughters and Maya’s mom coincidentily became BFFs in college! Great story, right?! Stay tuned for one (or possibly two) more installments of this Bat Mitzvah celebration.

    catie & austin’s baby shower

    Of course this was a beautiful shower, decorated to the 9’s, with every last thing coordinated. Not a detail was overlooked. It was all “beary” beautiful (see what I did there?). I can’t wait to meet this little boy so soon! Many showers of happiness to the whole family!

    the rockville centre breast cancer coalition gala

    When my friends asked me to photograph their 5th annual (well, minus Covid years) Rockville Centre Breast Cancer Coalition gala, of course I volunteered to do it! Especially since my friend Kathy was one of the two amazing honorees (and now I finally met Laura!) and many of my friends are on the board of directors. Erin put together an amazing party for such a worthy cause. There were a TON of people there and I think everyone was so happy to be normal, together, dancing and celebrating. Congratulations to the awesome honorees and everyone involved with this organization- you rock!!

    isabelle’s sweet 16- part 2

    I tried to capture the energy and total fun of this party. There was a dance mob, a video with some famous people (including Fran Drescher- the nanny and Dance Mom’s Miss Abby and some young person I didn’t know) and Isabelle’s reactions were priceless. Such a fun night! (and i heard it got even crazier after i left).
