Eyob and his Mom!

Eyob and his Mom seemed to have a bond created by years, yet it had only been weeks since Eyob had been brought home to Long Island from Ethiopia. The two of them are amazing together, each fulfilling a role to the other with so much love and happiness.





Eyob fell asleep on the way to the park to take pictures, he honestly looked like a little angel sleeping!









The above image is a little experiment with Photoshop to make the image look like a watercolor.



I wish the two of you a life full of continued happiness and great health! Congratulations to the two of you for finding each other!

Eileen and Kevin

Eileen and Kevin had an incredible fall NYC wedding! One of my favorite parts about this wedding was Eileen's dress. She wore her Mom's wedding dress but had it redesigned by a good friend of hers. The result- a 2008 version of her Mom's wedding dress. Brilliant idea and gorgeous execution by her friend! Eileen looked fabulous as I am sure her Mom did on her wedding day as well!





This was another one of my favorite ideas...fall leaves decorated the pathway for Eileen and her Mother to walk down! It was such a nice connection to the season!



Eileen takes a peak!









Moments like this are why we all love NYC.





Eileen and Kevin we wish you lots of love and happiness!!! Cheers!

Meghann and Kevin

Meghann and Kevin got married on Fire Island. The days before the wedding were wet and rainy and things were not looking good for the wedding day. BUT the rains stopped and the clouds created a dramatic background and beautiful lighting for photography! The shot above was taken of the church using the reflection in the flooded streets.











The storms had been so bad that there was hardly any beach left and they had officially closed it off!



Kevin and Meghann are adventurous though and climbed to get to this place on the jetty for some portraits.









If only all brides could be as relaxed as Meghann on their wedding day!!!



Meghann's family owns the general store in town and the two of them hammed it up for the camera pretending to be working on their wedding day!







Congratulations Meghann and Kevin!!!!!

NYC Marathon 2008

Every year I say the same thing, the New York City marathon is by far my favorite day in this city. It is one day where New Yorkers come together regardless of age, race or this year- political beliefs, to support those who came from far and near to run this amazing and challenging race. For the past 3 years we have been watching the race from our new neighborhood, Harlem. Harlem on marathon day is EXTRA well behaved as DJ Jazz plays great tunes to welcome the runners into Harlem for their last 5 miles. The following images were my pick to represent the runners of all abilities and humor and the locals that come to cheer them on!

















I had to add this one. Only in NYC, maybe even Harlem would someone push their groceries in a cart across the path of the runners!!







This man was absolutely adorable! He was there all day cheering on the runners by himself and having so much fun! I am sure the runners appreciated his enthusiasm and support immensely at this stage in the race!






Congratulations runners!!!
