christina & despina’s graduation party {on a boat}
These two families held a giant joint graduation party for their girls on a yacht around NYC. It was quite the event and everyone had a great time with lots of dancing, fun and WIND. The skylines were a gorgeous backdrop for the gorgeous girls and their families. I’m sure you’ll see lots of my favorite Manhasset families in attendance and I want to thank them for recommending me to Christina & Despina’s families. Congratulations to the girls and all of the Manhasset graduates!

erica & rich get married {the ceremony}
A lovely wedding for a lovely couple and their families! Since they both come from previous relationships, there is a lot of blending going on with them so when I met with Erica she wanted the entire wedding celebration to be for EVERYONE, especially all the kids. And it was! It was a beautiful ceremony- all so heartfelt and personal. Erica’s dad was the officiant, all the kids were the wedding party (also Rich’s dad as best man), a reading/speech by her sister. So many happy tears and laughter! Stay tuned for more from this beautiful wedding.

kenny’s run2remember dinner
I’m hoping you’ll remember my good friend Kenny’s Run2Remember in honor of his brother Kevin and a few other local families who lost other family members in untimely passings. Kenny ran (along with lots of friends and family- some for parts, some for all) 27 miles over 24 hours with the goal of raising $27,000 to donate to these families’ foundations in conjunction with the Tommy Brull Foundation. (The number 27 is for the last 27 days of his late brother’s life). $7,000 went to EACH of these organizations to help others. Kenny has the biggest heart and is dedicated to giving back in rememberence of all of these very special people. I hope even more people participate and donate next year!

jacqueline & craig
This couple came to me thru my faux niece Bitsy as Jacqueline is Bitsy’s fiance’s sister. Follow that? We only had this one day to do their session as Craig lives out of town and was only around for this date- so even though it was crazy windy and threatening rain, we went ahead and got it done. Loved Jacqueline’s request of bike riding on the boardwalk while holding hands! I’ll be photographing their wedding soon so be on the lookout for those pictures by the end of this summer. Congratulations to the happy couple!

dr. palmieri’s party
Both mine and the boys’ orthodontist Dr. Palmieri and staff throw a big party for all their patients every year. Since they missed the last few years due to Covid, they changed it up this year to an outside, not at an arcade at Christmastime party and they asked me to come and take some pictures. We have a lot of mutual clients/patients, but I’m not posting their pictures here- just the staff having some fun. The party was so fun- races, the carousel, kickball, face painting, tabletop games, bbq and the ice cream truck at the end was the best!
