Welcome

Hello!

Welcome to my blog. A relaxed and casual chronicle. A sprinkle of me and a dash of you: the engaging, fun, funny, wonderful families that I have been privileged to photograph, and that consider me their family photographer.

Brittany Sweet 16

Long Island teenager, Brittany has celebrated her Sweet 16 with a dinner dance party she planned all by herself! I think she will become an event planner. She was so beautiful in her pink ball gown and only removed her platform shoes for a few minutes so that I could photograph them. Intense fuchsia platforms that remind me of the  Azalea flower.

Golden Birthday

A very Happy Birthday with lots of nachas, was celebrated with family, at the legendary Friars Club in New York City.
