Taking a little Break - Happy future New Year Everyone!

I am taking a little break until Jan. 3rd 2008. There are many great happenings to look forward to in 2008. I am going to be spending the last days of 2007 going to the MET in NYC tomorrow to see the Baroque Christmas Tree along with the Rembrandt Exhibition with my hubby and friends. Then I am off to work on cleaning up the home for the big New Years Eve Party on the 31st.
I can't wait until 2008, 2007 was just such an amazing year for my photography business. Its amazing to see it grow so much in the last 6 months. I can only hope for amazing things to happen in 2008.

Merry Christmas to All!

Just want to wish everyone a Merry X mas, I had a great day and I couldn't help but to take photographs of my niece. We had a blast, played with some barbies, she posed for my camera with her new red coat and doll..I remember vaguely about the details of my 3rd Christmas in 1981, all I remember is a shiny Strawberry Shortcake bike. Well my niece got a ton more than that and this doll. Here she is investigating it.

Happy Holidays to all !

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday!!! I will be off seeing my family and having my first newlywed Xmas with my hubby. As you can see we got along with our decorating style, Keith put his Star Wars Tie Fighter hanging out in the xmas tree. ( I really don't mind at all) And I bought this really interesting Folk art Christmas sculpture by the artist Becky Geis. We are going to have a interesting Christmas collection.
Anyway more blogging to come in the next week and recap of the year!

Art Exhibit time -- Info on 2007 and 2009 Bookings

Its the time again.. I will be in the Firehouse Gallery Art Exhibit in Bay Shore, NY with some of my fellow artists. The opening is Dec. 14, 2007 at 4pm.
Here are some previews of photos that will be on exhibit.. I usually include one or two wedding photos that I have done in the year 2007 along with some personal work. I have been taking alot of photos of children lately. Being that my niece is getting older and more photojournalistic. In addition to that I have been slowly exploring child photography.

Just one annoucement on weddings, due to the overwhelming response to my recent website launch(which is great) I am going to be limiting the amount of weddings I will be doing in the year 2008. That way I can give proper individualized attention to the brides and grooms I book with. There are some dates left but not many. I will be booking for 2009 at the beginning of March.

Anyway here are some of the images going into the art exhibit:

a Private 80th B-day Party

A 80th Birthday Party is a milestone in ones life and this birthday was a special one that the whole family planned. This shoot was for a friend I know, this is not something I do often (since I do weddings 99 percent of the time) however it was alot of fun.
