    kaylee’s sweet 16 {part 1- the portraits}

    Kaylee and her family came to me thru my photografriend Heather. She is their normal photographer but she had a family issue come up at the last minute and asked me to step in. Always happy to help out a friend! Especially when the family I end up photographing are as awesome as Kaylee’s. She ended up having 3 dresses and a court of 12, so it gave me lots to photograph. So much so, I’m breaking the event into 2-3 posts so I can share all the greatness!

    a run to remember 2024

    Another fabulous event put on by Kenny & family benefitting many charities and foundations in our area (and beyond). It gets a little bigger every year with more runners and more foundations to donate to. I’m so proud of my friend for not only running 27 miles in 24 hours to honor the last 27 days of his brother’s life that he lost to cancer, but for being such a light to our community and people who are in need.

    better home health care gala

    After doing some shoots (both personal and business) for some of the better home family, I was so happy to be asked to photograph their gala where they honor some of the members of their team. Some of the family members of past & present patients that they have cared for spoke about the amazing care they gave to their beloved moms. All of the awards were so well deserved, kudos to the whole better home health care team- they are angels!

    chrissy’s final flamingle {aka bachelorette party}

    It was a crazy windy day but really, it just added to the fun, beachy, girls having fun vibe for Chrissy’s bachelorette party. And did they ever have fun! Chrissy’s fiance Tom booked me as the “surprise gift” for her party  to capture some of their fun before heading off to dinner. Such a great idea and so glad I was able to fit it in! The girls were told to be “colorful”- they totally understood the assignment. Congratulations to Chrissy & Tom!

    liz is a nurse!

    My very, very good photografriend Liz is now a full-fledged nurse! With a nursing job and everything! I’m so super proud of her and I know how hard she worked (and got like all A’s) for this while still running her photography biz, taking care of her family and still making time for her friends (especially going to Islanders games with this friend!) Liz is the kind of friend that everyone wants- she’s so THERE. So tuned in with her friends, compassionate, does nice things just cause and is fun af! I’m so lucky to have her in my circle (well, especially since she’s now my daughter and she is the mother of my grandchildren). She’ll still be doing some photography and taking some sessions and parties. But she’s going to be like the BEST nurse ever!
