Some more engagement photos...

I knew Angela and Rudy were going to be fun within the first 10 seconds of meeting them. They had so much energy and just did not stop! Again, I had such a hard time choosing my favorites! They kept each other (and me!) smiling for the entire shoot, and it made for some seriously amazing results! I always tell my couples to let go and have fun to get the best photos possible...these two are my proof!! Also, I think Dumbo is one of my new favorite places to shoot!












Party Time!!

First of all, let me just say that Barbara and Michael certainly know how to have a good time!! These two celebrated their engagement with a fantastic party that was elegant, classy and FUN! I took close to 1000 photos at the event (this was after working a car show in the morning!), and had a hard time choosing my favorites! Barbara and Michael are both so sweet, and so great to work with. I can't wait to work with them again when we do their engagement photos!!















Family Portrait

Working with Laisha and her family was so much fun! This is one absolutely beautiful family, and I'm not only talking about their appearances! It became obvious to me almost immediately how much the members of this family truly love and care for each other. They all worked together so nicely, and seemed to be having a lot of fun doing so. It was such a pleasure working with such a nice, fun family!








Sisters

Val contacted me to shoot a portrait of her and her sister to give to her parents as an anniversary gift. We met up at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, and the girls brought their boyfriends. We found some really great sites for photos, from a view of Manhattan, to train tracks and even an old train car. We even managed to get their boyfriends in on the fun! Enjoy!





The First of Many...

...updates, that is! Here are some photos from a pre-wedding shoot I did back in May. Meninder booked me just a few days before his wedding, when he realized that there would be no photographer to document him getting ready. I shot for about 1 1/2 hours while he and his family and friends participated in the ceremony preparing him to be wed. It is always really amazing to see how different cultures celebrate events, and this was definitely a beautiful site to see. The garments being worn created such a beautiful scene of so many vivid colors, but my words do them no justice.

Basically, during the ceremony, guests would come up to the groom and give him their best wishes. The photo of Meninder with his head in his hand was taken after we had been taking photos with each guest for a while. His head began to hurt, and he was waiting for someone to get him aspirin. Everyone else had cleared the room, and when I spotted him sitting there, I had to take the shot. The result was even better than I had anticipated.

Some New Photos

This weekend I did a family shoot at the Central Park Conservatory Gardens. I had never been there before, and I can't believe how many gorgeous sites I missed! This part of the park is so quiet and peaceful, and there's plenty to look at. I was able to get some shots that I consider some of my best so far. Photos from the actual shoot, and shoots from the past couple of weeks, will be up soon.

I have a LOT more photos on the way...Just have to find the time to upload them all! I'll be updating all week, so check back often :) I also have some new special promotions to announce within the next couple of days, so look for that as well. I'll be bringing prints of the below photos into Hidden Talent Art Gallery for sale, so please let me know if you'd like more information. I also accept custom orders.
