    sparkly snow

    January 26, 2013 /

    In all of the snow’s I’ve ever seen (and unfortunately there have been a good number of those. I’m definitely a summer girl.) I don’t think I’ve ever seen such sparkly, glittery snow. It was soooo pretty. I ran outside (read: bundled up in about 15 layers and walked reeeeeeally carefully so as not to slip and break the camera) for a few minutes in the freezing cold (it’s 18 degrees here tonight, and it feels about 10 with wind chill. Ya know, as an added bonus.) to get some glittery snow shots. Edited these MUCH differently than I ever would any people pictures, but they were fun to play around with.

    Trying to keep to my mental resolution to shoot more for myself this year.

    Almost a little creepy.

    See, totally glittery & sparkly. Love the curve on this one.A little pink snow.Can you find the snowflake on the top? So cool!

    ali’s beach birthday

    January 24, 2013 /

    Yeah, so this was like July. I’m aware how lame it is that I am this far behind in editing and posting personal pictures. Ali, an excellent bsquared assistant and babysitter celebrated her 21st birthday this past summer at the Ocean Club with lots of familiar faces. For my photografriends out there, all pictures taken with the Fuji x100. Gotta use that camera more often.

    I just did their newborn baby boy’s shoot this past weekend…They now own my puppy…You’ll recognize them from their newborn and holiday shoots…Grandparents…Celebrating the birthday girl. Moonrise/sunset.
    Stay tuned for lots ore summer pictures. And fall. And maybe even Spring. Well, at least the pictures remind us that it won’t always be below 20 degrees in New York.

    outtakes & rolls

    January 23, 2013 /

    I posted on my bsqured Facebook page a few days ago asking what you’d like to see on the blog while it’s slow with sessions during the winter months. Two people said outtakes- so here you go. A few from some weddings last year that Kate & I shot together.

    For those of you who don’t know the roll story, catch up on that nonsense here. I was a mess after a long day of shooting, including on a very windy beach.

    Uch, its so hot.Yup, I really do love my job that much!

    An old friend from high school emailed me (thru a mutual friend/client that was totally un-high school related. Small world.)  to ask about getting some headshots done for her son who is modeling and acting. Matthew is a total natural in front of the camera, and a really nice kid to boot. He has an audition this week, so please send this handsome guy some good luck vibes!

    visiting wrigley

    January 19, 2013 /

    For those of you who have followed our puppy saga here, here and here I finally mustered up the ability to make plans with her new family for a visit. Ya know, without being hysterically crying. I went over Friday morning to see her (bringing coffee and muffins for her new mom) and while I was wondering how much of a good idea it was to visit (would I just be too sad?) it turned out to be great! I’m pretty sure she remembered me and we had a very playful, lap sitting, bitey, cuddly visit.

    So now since I’m feeling much better about the whole thing and not in total meltdown mode anymore (make no mistake, if she could still be here I would have her here in a second. I still really miss my puppy girl who I loved even before I met.) I can share the great news of who her new family is. Wrigley now belongs to the “Powe” family. Mrs. P was Patrick & Timmy’s first grade teacher and they have been our friends (and bsquared clients!) for a long time now. Wrigley now has a biglittle Westie brother (big because he’s older, little because she’s going to WAY outweigh him really soon), two little girls and a great mom & dad to grow up with. She doing fantastically and getting so much bigger already- in just one week.

    She’s beautiful and sweet and crazy puppy. And now I’m told that she sleeps thru the night (you’re welcome!) from 10:30 or 11pm until around 7-8am. Mrs. P and family invited the boys over to visit tomorrow so more pictures will be coming. I’m not taking Timmy with us, he’s finally better from all his horrible allergies and really don’t want that to start up again.

    So a big thank you to the “powe” family for taking in our girl when we couldn’t keep her, and giving her such a happy, loving home where we can watch her grow up into a big beautiful dog. And especially for the open invitation to visit Wrigley.
