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!

Photo Plus Expo 2007 - Javits Center -NYC

These last couple of weekends have been a blast... I am having the time of my life and had an even bigger time of my life meeting some famous wedding photographer celebs.. So let me explain why! This past weekend I spent two days at the Photo Plus Expo. The Photo Plus Expo is one of the largest expos on Photography on the east coast. I attended two seminars on Macs Aperture & Adobe Light room. All really amazing stuff! My photography friend Kimberly met up with me and we had a blast.

On Friday I got to meet the world famous Harry Benson. Harry Benson is a well known photojournalist who shot extremely famous photographs of the Beatles, Truman Capote, caught Robert Kennedy's assisanation on film, many presidents and more.
I don't think he likes looking at the camera though:


The next day I worked at the Shootsac booth. I helped out all day long with selling the shootsac. An amazing lens bag designed by Jessica Claire who is a amazing wedding photographer out of California. (yes I read her blog often) This bag which can hold about 4 various lenses at a time, (this is a great lens bag if you have tons of prime lenses and yes it can easily hold the 70-200mm) is also very fashionable as you can change the types of covers you put on the front of the bag.The cover on the bag is also a lens cleaner!!!
If any photographer knows how it is a pain to have to change lenses, with the Shootsac you can just go into your bag put your lens down in the bag change the lens, etc. etc. I had a blast hanging out with Marissa and Keats all day long at this unique event. I was happy that I could help them out and had a good time selling the bag to customers.. I wish I could had met Jessica, she had went home the day before.
I will post pics of my new Shootsac in action in the upcoming weeks.

Seven hours later we were taking the booth down and famous wedding photographer Gary Fong who is well known for the Lightsphere walks up and I got a pic. Wow its just so strange meeting people who you read about online all the time!
Ok enough geekdom!
