04-26-08 Cinderella Story: Wedding of Laura & Alex




April has started off with a big bang. Every week has been busy. So, we have lots of photos for your guys to check out.

I can't wait for Laura & Alex to see their photos when they get back from the honeymoon! This was such a sweet couple. The venue was grand, the band was incredible, and the food & cake were yummy!  Thank you Laura & Alex for allowing me to be a part of such a wonderful celebration. 








04-25-08 Wedding Photos for Rachel & jason




I had the pleasure of assisting one of my best friends, Jose Reyes, on one of his weddings. Here are just a few of my faves from this wedding.

Eileen & Erik will be getting married during the July holiday week at the Liberty House in New Jersey. Since, their puppy won't be able to make the nuptials, we thought we might include him in this shoot!

This was a fun wedding with my good friend and fantastic artist, Jose Reyes. These are some of the images I managed to capture throughout the evening.  As you can see Melissa & Chris were quite demonstrative and loving with each other. Lots of PDA! Way to go guys.

04-13-08 Photos from Bridal Week for Kirstie Kelly & Disney!


This fashion show was a fashion-photojournalist's dream! Instead of the normal runway show that most designers use for fashion or bridal week the folks at Disney with the creative minds of Kirstie Kelly, & the talented ladies of Designer Loft created stage scenes (vignettes) from the Disney classic stories (Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, etc).  The fashion show was held at Loft Eleven in midtown and at about 7:30 the press and media made their way in and the gorgeous gowns were being photographed at a frenzy.  

Of course, I had the best job out of everyone there, because not only was I shooting  the fashion, but I got a special backstage pass to shoot all the behind the scenes stuff as well!  Check out the details, the decor, and the PINK cocktails.

Now, besides all the glam models and fashionistas that came to the show, I had the rare opportunity to photograph the uber popular wedding planner extraordinaire, Mindy Weiss with the ultra talented and very photogenic "it" designer, Kirstie Kelly. Super lucky me!

Now, in case you are wondering, I NEVER drink on the job, but once the camera was put away I did get a chance to try one of the colorful cocktails at the fiesta, and boy was it awesome! The folks at PINK sure know how to make a delicious drink.  You have to buy a bottle of PINK. they're the sexiest bottles on the market!!!! How great is my job!



03-21-08 Toronto, Canada for corporate headshots


This was definitely one of the coolest assignments because not only did it involve flying on a plane to Canada, but I also had the chance to do both makeup and photography for one of the coolest families I have ever worked with.  Debbie Goodland is creator and owner of Mixis.



Her company creates these incredible contemporary dolls accurately representing the many wonderful &  diverse cultures and ethnicities found today.  If like many moms or aunties, you have had a difficult time finding a doll to gift to that special child in your life, look no further.  I was lucky enough to bring two home to my two gorgeous nieces. Oh my gosh, I was almost run over by my little niece Rianna who absolutely loved her "Rosa" doll.  And, not only will children love the dolls and the hip clothing Debbie designs, but the children will also learn about their doll's culture. How smart is that?

Debbie & Richard, thank you so much for flying me out to work in your wonderful town and spend time with your beautiful family. This was definitely a trip worth taking and one to be remembered with new friends!

03-16-08 Photo Shoot with Headpiece & Jewelry Designer Nancy Redisch








When local headpiece and jewelry designer Nancy Redisch, asked us to assist her on one of her shoots for her upcoming and very anticipated website, we willingly jumped at the chance to assist her. For those of you that haven't had the opportunity to meet Nancy or purchase her one of a kind masterpieces, she is such a warm and nurturing person. And, not only was she hysterical to listen to, but she was a heck of an assistant. Nancy, thanks for letting us be part of your day and we can't wait to see your beautiful pieces on display on your new website.
These group of models were so much fun to work with and as you can tell Magda outdid herself yet again with the hairstyles. I loved them all, but I think my favorite hairstyle was the red haired model because all the hairpieces looked amazing against the color of her hair.

03-14-08 Another awesome Boudoir (b-session)!





On Friday Magda, Jessica, and I worked on one of the friendliest and most energetic brides for another HOTTTT b-session! She was just so full of life and of course it totally helped that she trusted us completely. And as you can tell she ROCKED the shoot. This hottie bride just did everything we asked of her and I think you'll agree, her husband to be is going to love these photos. Luckily for all of us, our awesome client gave us permission to use the body shots on our blog to share with all of you. Special kudos to my hair and makeup team and collaborators Magda (Susie) & Jessica. And, although you can't see the makeup and hair for this shoot, remember that the hair and makeup for the b-session is SOOOOO important. The hotter you look and feel the hotter the photos.
