    grace’s sweet 16

    Happy birthday to Grace! She celebrated with family and friends at her house on the North Fork with lots of fun, games, food and swimming. It was a hot one and it looked like all the kids (and adults too!) had lots of fun while I was there, and hopefully more fun was had after too. And the best bonus for me? I got Elbow Room on the way home!

    kim’s baby shower

    Nevermind the fact that the three sisters could all be hair models, how adorable and fantastic does mom-to-be Kim look!? Her family and husband threw her a lovely baby shower at the Links (it was actually her second shower, smaller scale) and you could just feel the love around her and her new baby to be. They don’t know if the baby is a boy or a girl (i can’t wait to hear!) so it was a very neutral palette for decor and gifts. And the games were fun and had everyone laughing. Wishing Kim & Aaron the best of luck with their new addition coming soon!

    maddie’s backyard bat mitzvah

    Not even a lot of unforecasted rain could put a damper on this awesome celebration! A brand new to bsquared family who I was so happy to meet and photograph, and as it turns out I photographed one of their best friends son’s bar mitzvah a few years back too. I love small world stories like that! They managed to get the hora in between raindrops and Maddie did a beautiful job on her readings. Her mom & dad surprised her with her friends coming to the party and she was definitely surprised! I hope they enjoy reliving the night thru the pictures!

    daniel’s bar mitzvah

    This lovely family was referred to me by a photografriend, and I’m so glad they were! What a great group of people with a special son/grandson/nephew/cousin/friend to celebrate! We took some family pictures outside of their venue (Lombardi’s on the Bay) on the water and then hit the party for a few shots too. Please note the awesome shark candle holder made by dad! Mazel Tov Daniel and family!!

    16 years to doctor!

    I got a FB message for a last minute shoot-a doctor finishing his residency and reaching his dream job after 16 years- his family was surprising him at the hospital on his last day of residency with a banner and 16 balloons. So cute and creative! Dr. Durrant will be a general surgeon at a new hospital on Long Island, let’s wish him the best!
