Latest Album Covers

November 27, 2009 – 2:36 pm

My bookbinder has introduced  new cover design elements: one is a vertical or horizontal stripe using japanese book cloth. I am calling them “ribbon books!” There is a combination of color and texture available for every taste. They are offered to all of my special events clients as well as boudoir clients. Another cover option is the weave texture combined with a plain suede. This is a recent Bar Mitzvah album.

Michael at Guastavinos

November 16, 2009 – 10:43 am

Michael’s mother is a goddess, statuesque and beautiful, and she knows how to make a dinner dance party. She picked Guastavino’s tucked into a soaring granite arch of the 59th Street Bridge in midtown Manhattan. It was a dramatic backdrop to a non-stop dance party  by On the Move events. During the hora, Michael was lifted up in a chair by his brother Brandon. You can see the love in how they shook him up and down!

Michael Rodeph Sholom

November 14, 2009 – 8:55 am

Michael will read from the Torah today and celebrate with a party tonight. Yesterday we met me at the Synagogue for a few pictures before the big day.

I love his hair – so artistic. Michael and I met before, at his cousin Jamie’s Bat Mitzvah earlier this year, and he was very quiet. But I know Michael is a hunk in the making and he confident as well.

Jonny G

August 18, 2009 – 4:39 pm

Back by popular demand. Camp is over and I am back in touch with all of my Bat Mitzvah and Bar Mitzvah families…Word is, some of the girls are asking about Jonny! (Unsure how it became know I photographed Jonny for his Bar Mitzvah…) Seems, they all go to nearby Summer camps….and something must have happened at one of those Saturday night socials! So here is a previously unpublished Jonny taken on Fire Island several weeks ago (right before camp!)
