    ronnie’s birthday & bar mitzvah anniversary

    One of the best ideas for a party, ever! It was Ronnie’s birthday but instead of just celebrating a regular birthday, Ronnie decided to throw a joint birthday/anniversary of his bar mitzvah complete with games and a candle lighting ceremony! The party was in the penthouse party room of his apartment building with amazing views and lots of family and friends to help celebrate. I was so happy my aunt Mardi asked me to photograph the day! And if I lived in this apartment, I would get absolutely no work done because I’d be staring out the window at my favorite NYC building- The Chrysler Building. Happy birthday and Bar Mitzvah anniversary!!

    cassie’s graduation party

    I know it’s been a little quiet around here- I was away on a 10 day Ireland vacation and I’m just catching up.And there’s a LOT of catching up to do!

    I feel like I just photographed Cassie’s bat mitzvah a few weeks ago and now she’s off to Penn State in a few weeks. So glad to see this extended family that I”ve had the pleasure of photographing for many, many years. Weddings, babies, occassions- you name it, we did it!

    ethan’s bar mitzvah {the party}

    They had the party at Simplay which is a simulation space for basically all sports. So fun and kept all the kids (big and small) busy and happy. If that wasn’t enough, there was a dancing robot, a ton of giveaways, a candy and snack truck,dancing and a few celebrity videos including one from Ethan’s all time hero- Tom Brady! Mom somehow pulled off a personalized video message from the GOAT himself. Ethan’s reaction was priceless- he was beyond excited and so thankful! I hope the family enjoys reliving the party thru the photos for years to come!

    ethan’s bar mitzvah party {the details}

    The theme was Rangers (and if you know me, you know how i feel about that. In one word…no.) but the invitation read as jerseys and jeans as attire. So you know I had to pull out my Islanders jersey as a “statement”. Regardless of my hockey loyalties (and the fact that Ethan actually plays for the Junior Islanders- but thats only because if he played for the junior rangers, he’d have to play all the way in Connecticut) the party was beyond awesome and the styling was amazing! And true to form, Ethan was a perfect host, making sure everyone was having a great time (which they were).  Here are some details from the party- the party itself to follow. Stay tuned.

    dr. palmieri’s summer party

    So glad to be asked back again for photos this year, so the staff could actually enjoy their event! As usual, the kids (and adults) had a great time with delicious bbq, the carousel, facepainting the ice cream truck and games. Its so great they put this party on every year and I’m glad I got to participate again! I even got my hand painted (it was awards night at the high school and i didn’t think Timmy would appreciate me showing up with a full face of facepaint, but it WAS VERY tempting) and had some soft serve chocolate from the ice cream man/truck. I’ll never grow up!
