the rvc education foundation gala-2012
I was asked to photograph the gala again this year and was happy to do it. It’s a great foundation, the honorees received well deserved awards, and I got to see lots of friends while working.
Darren & Tina- my goto people for the gala and the coordinators for the evening who did a wonderful job as always!
Mr & Mrs Masin. Mr. Masin was one of the honorees.
His lovely daughter was his speech stand in (he was losing his voice due to bronchitis) and did a wonderful job for her dad when he needed a break.
Mr. & Mrs. Murphy. Mr. Murphy was the other honoree for the evening. His speech was hysterical and he had everyone laughing.
Our mayor and his lovely wife. Always a pleasure…
And some of the friends I look forward to seeing at the gala every year.
I have this picture of these two gentlemen every year at the same table. Just a different location.
The pretty lady in the middle is my ‘daughter that I’ll never have’s’ actual mom. Love her.
Darren and two of the teachers from his school.

mason’s first birthday party
I’ve been photographing his family for a few years now and was thrilled when they asked me to capture their son’s first birthday party recently. It was quite the shindig with lots of family , little friends and entertainment to help Mason celebrate his big day. I loved the Cookie Monster theme and the birthday boy was as cute as ever!
Some faces in the crowd…

miranda’s sweet 16
Right before Christmas I headed over to Westbury Manor to photograph the lovely Miranda’s Sweet 16 party. I loved her gorgeous gold gown and how it totally coordinated with all the jewel tones they had the venue decked out in. I was only there for about 2hrs, but it looked like a rockin party with all the kids up dancing and having a great time. And although it was ffffffreezing outside, the family opted for some photos outside on the grounds. To me at least, it was definitely worth it!
Hope the rest of your birthday was wonderful Miranda! And may all your wishes come true.

tina’s sweet 16
Held at Leonards of Great Neck, it was quite the party! Tina was a princess and seemed to have a fantastic time at her “ball”. Loved the dress and all the coordinating colors throughout the venue and the family’s outfits, even the lighting! Thanks for letting me share in your day Tina! And happy birthday!!
Making her grand entrance on the arms of her big brothers. 
Proud mom.

Dancing with Dad.
The candle lighting was so lovely and you could see that Tina worked really hard on her speeches for each candle. She even made herself cry a few times!
Hoping all your wishes come true!

caroline’s birthday party
I was so excited when her mom asked me to shoot her dress up party. Since she’s such a fantastic girl who I adore, I knew her party would be a blast. And it was!! Loved the girls creativity and fun, spirited ideas. Lots (and lots) of pictures to follow. It was too hard to choose!
Happy Birthday Caroline!! (she’s the one on the right top row)
My favorite sisters!!!
