    christina’s sweet 16

    It was a great night photographing Christina’s sweet 16 at the New Hyde Park Inn! Surrounded by family, friends, and lots and lots of love they celebrated the night bigtime! Christina’s court was filled with a lot of girls I’ve photographed in the past which is always fun for me, and I knew quite a few of the families and kids in attendance too. Everyone had a great time, dancing a ton and being a part of a great candlelighting celebrating not only Christina’s birthday but her family and friends too, even those that couldn’t be there. Wishing Christina a very happy 16th birthday and year! Hope all your wishes come true!

    julia’s sweet 16

    A family I’ve never had the pleasure of photographing before, but definitely one that I hope to again! They’re that kind of people that are so warm and welcoming that you feel like you’ve known forever. It was a great night at a fabulous location (The Harbor Club at Prime). I loved her shopping theme (I included only a few centerpieces here on the blog, but each table had its own “store” theme) and all the kids were just so nice and fun! Julia was a pro, handling the whole night with grace and smiles. Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!

    I posted Melina’s Sweet 16 a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, on the day of her Sweet 16 party it was like a total Nor’easter so there were no pictures taken outside. We remedied that a few weeks later with this reshoot with the family, the dress, makeup and hair. She’s still just as gorgeous!

    No, she didn’t really get a new car. But a girl can dream.

    melina’s sweet 16

    Loved this family since we first started working together, and love them even more now! I photographed Katie’s sweet 16 last year and now it was Melina’s turn for her big blowout bash! I was sooooo looking forward to it (for many reasons- the amazing cake, the beautiful family, Patrick & Katie, spending time with everyone, GREEK DANCING, and oh yeah, taking pictures) but especially for the gorgeous birthday girl who has a great vision of what she wants and a great way about her. Just like the rest of the family. It was a super fun, happy occassion. Sorry for the big picture overload but couldn’t narrow it down further.
