    the mart {greek orthodox} baptism

    A greek orthodox baptism is definitely one of my favorite types of religious events to photograph. The whole ceremony is so lovely and there’s so much to it. Plus, Greek Orthodox churches are beautiful! And the dunking of the whole baby is always an adventure! I especially love the look on the baby’s face prior to the dunk- like you’re doing WHAT with me?? Congratulations to the whole family!

    rebecca’s 1st day of school

    It’s so nice having awesome neighbors! It was Rebecca’s first day of school yesterday so I got up extra early to take some pictures before she went off to her very first day of Kindergarten. She was very excited and I hope she had a great day with lots of great school days to come!

    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!
