    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!

    devin & cameron’s first communion

    My good photografriend Amandarelli recommended these lovely people to me, as their regular photographer wasn’t available for their day so I got lucky enough to step in. What an amazingly nice group of people! Easy going and fun (right up my alley!) and we ended up with a beautiful day for some pictures outside. The cousin communicants were the sweetest, cutest boys and I extra loved their donut wall (especially the tiffany blue chocolate one which I got to take home as a party favor).

    jerry & willie’s 50th anniversary

    Just before I left for my trip, I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful milestone anniversary for this awesome couple. Their family and friends came from near and far to help them celebrate. The cake topper was the original cake topper from their wedding 50 years ago to the day (it was stored in a ziplock bag and wasn’t even yellowed in the slightest!), and they found a baker to replicate the cake exactly. It was so great meeting them and their family, some of which I have photographed in the past and be there to see their amazing marriage and all of the love and happiness it created.

    cassie’s bat mitzvah-the party

    My favorite part of posting this today is that I was with all of these fabulous family yesterday again! It was another family member’s first communion yesterday so I spent a bit of the day with them, which is always a good time for me! Cassie’s party was super fun and everyone was having a great time. Even me! Hope you enjoy the rest of Cassie’s special day(s)- she’s a lovely young lady who is sweet, beautiful, talented and just a joy to be around and photograph!
