ivy & steve’s wedding- part 1 (getting ready)
Ivy and I have been friends since we’re 8 years old. Hebrew school, sleep away camp (yay Sequoia!), school, marraiges, kids, tons of inside jokes….everything. So I was of course beyond thrilled when she and Steve got engaged. He’s such a great guy and the two families have meshed so well. I was just so elated to see Ivy and the kids so happy!
And I was even happier that Ivy asked me to take pictures at their wedding last month. I knew it would be a bit of a challenge (but who dosen’t love a challenge) cause Ivy LOVES taking pictures but Steve? Steve does NOT love taking pictures. At all. He was good though and really was very patient with me and my camera. Thanks, Steve.
Ivy’s fabulous dress, and even more fabulous shoes. Her BFF from college came in to help her get everything ready.
The kids… (really, the girls look like they could be sisters down to the same coloring).
And the bride and groom.
The ride over to the reception was fun in the amazingly cheezyLasVegasZebraprintLasershowHummer limo. Love the reflection on the mirrored ceiling too.
Ceremony and reception (with all the pictures in an album) to come in tommorrows post.

happy 4th
Yes, I’m alive. No, I have nothing new to post really. Well, I should be posting a lot but nothing’s ready yet. Been editing like crazy and soon I will have LOTS to post. After the weekend. I hope.
Still to come: Ivy & Steve’s wedding, Garrett & Susan’s trash the dress session, The Atlantic Beach Club Opening Gala, two highschool friends shoots- one from CT the other from St. Louis, and a few shots from Timmy’s best friends little brother’s christening, and then I have two newborn shots tommorrow. So, if you just keep hanging in there, it should be worth it.
And in other news…Robin’s baby (baby Eoin who was born at 25 weeks) is doing so wonderfully. He’s now over 4lbs (born at 2lbs), almost completely off the ventilator (at the lowest setting on just positive airflow), and is now in a regular crib instead of the isolette. His grandma got to visit for the first time and hold him too! Here’s a new picture of Eoin (pronounced Owen- it’s the Irish version) I stole off their webpage.
And my good friend from college, Nate will be moving back to the US after living in Australia for the last 3 years. Can’t wait to see him, his wife Colleen and their two girls (one of which I met when she was about 2 weeks old and the other I have never met as she was born in Australia- how cool!) and take tons of pictures for them. Guess we’ll be heading down to DC in August!! So excited!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July. We’re off to the beach in a few…

the turn @ arctica nyc
Went last week to catch my favorite band at another 3rd Ave. gig in the city. But this time, it was the full band playing which is always a great show. Ends up that Arctica liked them so much that The Turn was offered an ongoing gig with the full band for something like 7 dates this summer. So awesome!
A few favorites (there are always so many) from the evening.
The collection is growing. All pictures taken during Sex on Fire.
To see all of the images from Arctica, please click HERE.
And here are some advertising materials Brian, Eric & I have been working on. More to come soon- they’re making the rounds and playing hard.
A 11×17 poster for upcoming acoustic Van Diemens shows.
A 5×7 glossy ‘calendar card’ for all their upcoming appearances:
See you at show along the way, I hope.

baseball bedlam
It’s everywhere…
My friend Lois came down from CT last night for a sushi dinner and a photography lesson. We had a great time and I really hope she learned something inbetween us catching up and laughing. She’s so sweet and a regular blog stalker so she brought the boys some awesome baseball cookies (which were devoured minutes after the pictures were taken). Thanks, Lois!! They loved them!
We are at a fever pitch level (pun intended) with baseball around here. John took all the boys to a Brooklyn Cyclones game last night, they’ve had baseball camp every morning this week (and next week too) , a travel team practice Monday night and an away game tonight.
I’m so behind in editing, processing orders, cleaning the house…everything. New pictures coming soon. And my shoot today for another highschool friend who’s back ‘home’ from St. Louis is in limbo with the weather.
Hope everyone is having a good day.

the pear baby
If you are a bsquared blog follower, I’m sure you’ll remember these gorgeous girls and their gorgeous mom (Dad was working this time around). Well, they have since added another gorgeous girl to their family.
This shoot was quite challenging (and not because of the subjects- far from it- they were great!) but because it was yet another day of rain with dark skies. The only room in the house that had good light for me was the baby’s room on the bed right at the windows. So we couldn’t move around much, but we totally made it work. At least I think so.
She is a beautiful baby. Pure and simple. Just look at that skin! And that hair! and that chub, too!
