Lady Friends

I am very lucky to have taught with a group of ladies who are now producing photo material for me! They have brought having lunch to a whole new photographic level!



Caleb



Anna- Rose



Jack



Hayden. Hayden is a very talented musician just like his parents. He plays the drums like his dad- here he was playing for me a Beatles song. Did I mention that he is 3?





Hayden is getting a special treat from one of the best women ever created- Sr. Kathy! Sr. Kathy works at St. Francis, the school where we all taught together. Sr. Kathy has more energy than any other person I have ever met- she is so incredible and always on the move! I used to joke at school that we needed to put a GPS tracker on her!



Here is the whole group of ladies! Its hard to tell, but Stef on the right is currently cooking up some more photo material for me!





And they sleep...



sleep...



sleep, just like little angels! Thanks ladies for the great lunch, freindship and allowing me to snap away!

Baby Jackson

Remember these two? Well now there is three, welcome baby Jackson!










(Jackson's Dad, Lucas, is an incredible, successful painter. He grew up in Brooklyn and for those of you that know Brooklyn, you can really feel the influence of that borough in his work. His pieces are amazing, complex, generally large and saturated with layers of color. This painting is actually for sale as are others. If you are interested just let me know and I can connect the two of you!)





















I am not sure if these images can even begin to capture the love buzzing around these three. Missy and Lucas since I have known them have been clearly in LOVE- deep love, storybook love. And now their love for each other is overflowing onto this beautiful baby. The three of them make one happy, gorgeous, and lucky family. Congratulations to the three of you!

Vagina Monologues

Last Night Greg and I went to go see the play, Vagina Monologues, co-directed and acted in by a friend of ours Pia Padukone. For those of you that don't know, the play is an assortment of monologues from various women on the topic of their vagina. The play brings you on a ride of emotions from hysterical laughter to complete society disgust and sadness, back to laughter again and all the other emotions along the way! The play is a wonderful experience for both men and women! These women (Samantha Deka, Asia Drag, Ann Fisher, Suzette Freedman, Hannah Kim, Jessica Krause, Nitika Nadgar, Nina Padukone, Pia Padukone, Cathy Sun, Ilona Walldid) did an amazing job putting on the production- the house was packed! It was an incredible way to kick off Valentine's day weekend! Below are pictures of each of the women as they acted out their monologue. All proceeds from the show went to Women for Women. http://www.womenforwomen.org/





























The directors! Bravo to all!!!!!!!!!

Cousins

One house, 3 homes, 4 adorable children! The first two are siblings and twins and the second two are siblings! To each other they are cousins. Each had their own little personality that was so much fun and sometimes challenging to capture! Who is in the third home?? Grandma! Lucky kids!

A Proposal in Central Park

The plan was discussed. Maps were laid out. Times and locations exact. Gustad had thought of everything for his perfect proposal to Tanaz on Bow Bridge in Central Park. The proposal was so beautiful, I will let the emotions of these two speak for themselves.

















After some time Gustad pointed Greg and I out to Tanaz, surprise!! After congratulations were given we went into a full on engagement shoot! It was great to play around in the park and take pictures of these two as they were flying so high with so much happiness and love for each other!













Tanaz and Gustad, we are so honored that we were the ones given the great privilege to document this special moment in your lives. We wish you a lifetime filled with the love and happiness that we saw on this day. THANK YOU!!!
