    grace’s kellenberg ring day

    I didn’t know what this was either so don’t worry if you have no idea what I’m talking about. At Kellenberg High School they have a ring day for all juniors where they receive their school rings and then have a party later in the evening. Unfortunately, it was raining horribly so all pictures were inside but their house is so nice so it wasn’t a total loss! Happy Ring Day to all Kellenberg juniors and i hope you had a fun party!

    chaminade preprom

    My great clients got in touch asking if i could shoot their son’s Chaminade high school pre-not-a-prom (or “aqua prom”) party. Of course I was game! The party was held at another one of the boys’ family’s home with 5 couples and their families in attendance. It was a super fun shoot (especially capturing the 5 boys goofing around) and I hope they all had a great time at their “not a prom”! And somehow managed not to be stuck out on the water for the monsoon we had later that evening!

    julia graduates nyu

    Big congratulations to Julia on graduating New York University! Although we have differing opinions on her employment (she works for the Rangers. So, no. I am a huge Islanders fan if that wasn’t apparent.) I wish her nothing but the best in her very exciting future!! We had to reschedule the session a few times but finally made it work. Washington Square park was crazy busy with other graduates, but we found some spots to shoot that were a little quieter.

  • beach,  couples,  engagement

    elvar & katie get engaged, but not really…

    Elvar & Katie came to me thru my photografriend Gina who wasn’t able to shoot their last minute session, so I stepped in. They have been married for 10 years (it was actually their 10 year anniversary on the day of our shoot) and Katie’s original engagement ring got misplaced someplace along the way. So Elvar picked out a gorgeous new engagement ring for her and set up (with the help of his brother and sister in law) a suprise “proposal” at Sunken Meadow beach. Katie was very surprised, they had a rather large audience of strangers cheering for them on the boardwalk, and we shot a few fun pictures for their engagement/anniversary/proposal/celebration. We unfortunately had to cut it shorter than we had originally planned as their daughter was home sick and they needed to get back to her fast, but I think we got some great photos in the time we had. Congratulations and happy anniversary to the happy couple!
