the good family
Ok, I’m going to be perfectly honest here. I was feeling pretty sick on the day of this shoot and was heading up to Great Neck for the first of 3 seperate shoots in Great Neck over a 2 day period. All of which = not a great mood. Then, I saw three boys hop out of the car and thought I was going to get my butt kicked cause I would have to be running around after them all over the park feeling so crappy already. I was not looking forward to the whole thing which isn’t really like me.
But then…
The boys were SO good and cooperative and cute.
And the family’s coordinating outfits were so perfect.
And mom and dad were such nice people and fun.
And the nanny was kind and helpful with the smile procurement. And the location was so pretty. So before I realized it, I forgot that I was sick and was having a great time and getting some awesome shots.
Mom is originally from Russia. That’s one of those languages I could listen to all day without understanding a word and still enjoy it thoroughly. Their nanny who has been with them for about 3 years is also Russian so I got a good dose of conversation.
Thank you good family- I had a great time meeting all of you. You were wonderful and I hope you enjoy the pictures. To view all of the images from this shoot, please click HERE.

the nitk family
This is my second time shooting for this cute little family, and I can’t believe how big their baby has gotten since I last saw them at Christmas. She’s gone from falling over while sitting to walking around like crazy. She was definitely easier to photograph at Christmas, but you gotta love the walking stage too. So cute!
Went to the local village green and tried to find a little shade to shoot in. There wasn’t much, but we made do.
A little mommy & daddy love.
And a pretty little bonnett.
A few back at her house in her favorite chair.
Great to see you all again. To see all of the pictures from this session, please click HERE.

the turn @ parkside lounge nyc
On a Friday night my favorite band had a show at the Parkside Lounge in waaaaaay downtown NYC. I was more than happy to go along and take some pictures, dance a little, and try out my new lenses.
The Turn put on a fabulous, rockin show and everyone really loved it. There was lots of cheering and encore requests and two new songs that were awesome. Can’t wait to hear those again so I can start singing along next time.
If you’d like to check out some of their music, please visit them here: http://www.myspace.com/rocktheturn I would definitely suggest going, you won’t regret it.
Some of my favorites from the evening (it was only an hour show, but I took a zillion pictures).
Apparently, everyone in the band except Brian got the “wear black t-shirts with dark jeans” memo…
Pat’s “guitar face” on the left.
Finally got some decent shots of Chris doin his thing on the drums. He’s always squished in the back with bad lighting but this time the lighting was a little better.
Love some singing from Pat!
And no Turn shoot would be complete without my favorite picture of Brian during the screaming part of Sex on Fire. I think I’m gonna see how many of these shots I can get over time- I have an excellent start already!
Maybe my favorite angle…
You guys rocked it– hard!! Great show and I’m continually so proud of you! You just keep getting better and better!! Can’t wait for the next show….

the mulv family
Hope everyone had a great weekend! A fun, happy, and colorful family to start off a new week.
The mulv family was gifted with a bsquared shoot by a mutual friend. After a few (really, a lot!) of cancellations & rescheduling due to weather and stomach viruses, we finally got our shoot in on a Friday morning when the kids had a day off from not using a snow day.
Visited a new location in Garden City which I really loved (good call, B). Think I will be suggesting this location to future clients. It’s so pretty.
The kids were great although the littlest ones are always tricky to catch!
And for a reward (and for more good pictures) Mom broke out the huge lollipops. I think we were all pretty happy with them.
Thank you for your patience on the rescheduling. Hope you think it all worked out as well as I do! To see all of the images from this session, please click HERE.

the butl rehearsal dinner
Ok, I know I usually don’t post client images on the weekends, but with last week’s record number of shoots, if I don’t post over the weekend I’ll be even more backlogged than I am!
This almost newlywed couple ( actually married for a week + now) came to me thru the bride’s sister (in the green dress) as I had done her family pictures a few times. I was asked to shoot the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. This dinner could’ve been a wedding itself! So many people helping to celebrate the couple with speeches, slide shows, laughs, toasts and tons of love.
The bride was sick (what a bummer, huh?) but you could never tell by looking at her. She was fiercly fabulous and a real trooper. I got about 5 minutes with the bride and groom outside before they had to return to their guests and the evening commenced. I loved the gold wall and couldn’t pass it up.
The bride’s family and friends were great and so happy for R. A big thanks to the bride’s sister R for all of her coordinating and help during the evening. Their speeches were sweet and funny.
Turns out that the bride is a bit of a photographer herself but is very, VERY picky about how she looks and often has the owner of the camera erase photos if she dosen’t like the way she looks in them. I was told during one of the speeches that I had the toughest job that day. Hope you like the pictures, R and don’t make me erase any!
The groom’s dad, brother, friends and family had quite a lot to say during the speeches.
There was a crazy story about poop and grandma’s car during the groom’s brother’s speech. Grandma laughed so hard she was crying.
Love the reaction shots, always my favorite!
Hope the wedding went as well as the dinner and everyone had just as much if not more fun! To see all of the images from the evening, please click HERE.
