Smile Greyson, smile please smile!

My little Greyson was some work. the second I put the camera down he had a smile ear to ear. The second the camera was in my hand little Greyson froze. It took a little while to warm up to photo shoot.

Once he warmed up all he wanted to do is hold the camera. Oh well, he is and will always be a delight. Greyson took couple of the shots with his lovely mother.

Anthony the Great!

You can't tell by the photos but there is a 14 year age difference between Anthony and his sister. The love between the two of them radiates.

Anthony searches every time he hears his sisters voice and clings to her the second he gets his arms around her. Given the opportunity he would ride around on her back like a little spider monkey.

His sister is a warm loving person, who truly loves her brother. I believe Anthony will be a very lucky boy growing up with his sister as a role model.

Love is in the Air! Fadia and Babak engagement.

A beautiful engagement for a beautiful couple.

Zoe and dots.

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Zoe and her little doll dots this past weekend. Zoe, her mother Tenika, and her grand parents were all at the shoot. I do not believe I have ever met warmer or nicer people. It was a little sad when the shoot was over and I had to leave.

Of course we ended the shoot about two minutes before it started pouring rain.

Zoe was changed four times and spent the entire shoot smiling, giggling and laughing. she rolled from person to person on the bed so, she could be tickled. Zoe was made to be in front of the camera where she shined.

Tessa under the Rainbow.

Tessa and her red umbrella played the entire shoot. She is a photographers dream with her slow spins, huge grins and vivacious personality. We must of played in the park for two hours. There was a small stream that Tessa played in, a very curious duck and lots of trees and grass for backdrops.

Tessa just turned four years old and I really look forward to the holiday photos in the snow. This year her Christmas photos will be in front of Rockefeller's after the tree lighting.

Alana like her Couture!

Fun in the sun! We did this shoot early in the morning right after Alana woke up and she was game for everything. Her bright blue eyes and long lashes stood out on almost every background. She laughed and giggled as she played with the pearls and flowers. Alana patiently accepted four outfit changes and then she was rewarded for her patience. Alana's favorite thing in the world is to sit in moms purse and play with the straps. We captured these darling images as she did just that.

I look forward to future sessions.

This is a shoot that you leave realizing how truly blessed we are.

Bahamas Baby!

Well, as much as I would like to keep updating my blog and work on websites.  It is time to pack and get to the airport and then off to Miami for a few days.  Then off to the Bahamas for a destination wedding and a few days r and r.

I am sure I will be twittering from Miami, The Keys, Nassua, and lastly CocoCay.  Actually, scratch that last part.  CocoCay will be all mine and the electronic devices will stay in the bag.   I will blog about my high jenks when I return.

The Art and Soul of Sedona: Best of Everything

Kelly and David allowed me to join them for their special day and photograph them at Tlaquepaque (translation: best of everything.)  Tlaquepaque is truly a wondrous work of art with the shops, chapel courtyards and old mexico feel.  When you add in the native flute players, flowers, streams, fountains, and a long white dress; it is simply enchanting.

I will gleefully travel any distance to be able to photograph a wedding in Tlaquepaque in Sedona, Arizona.  This time was no exception, I traveled from New York to be at this wedding and I am so thankful I did.

Kelly left most of us speechless with her beauty and bubbly personality, while David was understandably emotional.  We spent almost an hour running around Tlaquepaque like kids in a candy store taking photos and finding new locations.

I hope this marriage brings this couple all of the joy and happiness they so richly deserve.  Thank you both for the precious memories and keep sakes.  I look forward to the one year shoot and hopefully it will be back in Sedona.

Delightful family.

As I travel to four different states now for photography I find that I come across families that stick with me.I had the dubious pleasure of photographing just such a family.  The little girl was truly angelic and VERY fast.  I was attempting to capture candid photos of her in flight and only hoped that I had one I could use.  

Her younger brother has a smile that will simply melt you, along with his deep hazel eyes.  Michael is just learning to walk and was extremely curious.

The mother and father were delightful, kind and warm all at the same time.  I watched mom with the children and her interactions were beautiful.  The love she felt for them radiated around the room and came out in the photos.  I look forward to my next visit and capturing more gorgeous images.  Although next time I have to get dads red hair and freckles.

Jaycee is one month!

I consider myself to be blessed, I am able to do what I love and make a living doing it.  I enjoy all aspects of photography and the art of taking photos.  However, hands down my favorite shoot is fresh new life and watching the baby grow.

Jaycee is no exception.  I photographed her briefly in the hospital and then again at about one week old.  Now a month has slipped by and I was able to do more photos.  These hands down are my favorite photos to date.  Jaycee is much more attentive and is an absolute pleasure to be around.  I am looking forward to the two month photos.

Little Angel

This is precious Sophia in all of her splendor.  I have been photographing her and her twin brother since they were a couple of hours old.  They are both absolutely precious and the parents are wonderful.  Little Michael has always been the serious one and hard to get a smile from.  Ms. Sofia on the other hand is quick with a smile however, you can always see her personality shining.

This photo is my absolute favorite one of her.  She is 8 months old and knows what she wants and how to express herself.  I have printed this and placed it in my office, every time I look at it I have to laugh.

I look forward to many future photo shoots and watching this precious girl as she grows.
