    bella’s senior session

    We had to reschedule this session about a zillion times but it all worked out in the end! Beautiful Bella will be heading off to U of Tennessee in just about a month or so, it’s very exciting times for this young lady and her family! I had done a senior session for her older sister about 4 years ago and I am so shocked at how quickly the time went by for Bella’s turn. Wishing her nothing but the best being a Volunteer!

    the “vector academy” graduation

    These best friends parents put on a special graduation for them because one of the friends was leaving for the Air Force Academy prior to the actual Manhasset High School graduation. Since he’d miss graduating with his friends they made sure he did! How awesome is that?! The whole Vector thing is some big inside joke that I won’t even get into, but suffice it to say these boys are friends for life. The video montage was awesome- moving and hysterically funny as was the speech by the Air Force dad. Wishing them all nothing but luck in the future. It’s a bright one for these guys!

    jess trains people

    If you’re a bsquared follower, I hope you’ll remember Jess from her wedding and from her headshots/athletics in motion pictures I did for her within the last year. This time, it was a little more actiony shots with her training partner and all “her” kids. They come from all kinds of sport backgrounds but it’s all good for strength and agility training! She’s a toughy but a goody (although when she did yell “HEY!!” in her very teacher voice I did jump out of my skin and looked around like omg is she yelling at me- what did I do??) and motivates everyone with her amazing energy while keeping everyone in the best form. Some of these kids she’s been training since elementary & middle school and now their well on their way thru college. Thats definitely a testament to her training and personality!

    manhasset banner day

    I got a last minute call to shoot Manhasset High School’s banner day, as their usual photographer was unavailable. Being that like 1/2 of the graduating class are my existing clients (ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there’s a LOT of them!) I was so happy to participate a bit in another special day for them. Banner day is for all Varsity athlete graduating seniors- everyone gets a banner (great work by the photographer who took those pictures and put together these beautiful banners!) and their name announced on the track. And there was a very special presentation for one young man who missed the actual Manhasset HS graduation because he was off to the Air Force Academy, so they surprised him with a little psuedo graduation. That was so awesome! Stay tuned for many more Manhasset doings here, coming soon!
