A few weeks ago, a lovely young lady named Sabrina became a Bat Mitzvah, and I was the lucky photographer who got to capture all the memories from that evening with my camera.  The service took place at Temple Emanu-El, the largest house of Jewish worship in the world!  Sabrina read from the Torah flawlessly, […]

Last week I was asked to photograph the National Kidney Foundation at the opening night of the Harlem Fine Arts Show.  It was a wonderful event with a fabulous crowd.  The art was so unique and beautiful, and the lovely ladies from the National Kidney Foundation did a great job of educating passersby of the […]

A week or so before Christmas, during a photography lesson with one of my students, we stumbled upon several hundred drunk and giddy Santas wandering around Bryant Park.  I had completely forgotten that the gorgeous day we chose for our lesson was also the day of the annual SantaCon.  I scrapped my original lesson plan […]

Maria and Matthew make me smile.  They are such a lovely couple, and I was so lucky to photograph their wedding earlier this month! The ceremony was very intimate, at a Russian Orthodox cathedral in NYC, and it was just beautiful to witness Maria’s Russian heritage embrace Matthew and his family.  The following day, Maria […]

Abbey turned 30 recently.  Her family threw her a really wonderful party in the West Village.  She was surrounded by her closest family and friends, who came from as far as Texas and California to celebrate.  Everyone ate.  And drank.  And danced.  Abbey’s little niece, Harper, almost stole the show.  But Abbey shined as the […]

New Yorkers are known to work hard and play hard, and they sure know how to throw awesome parties.  My photography services were recently “gifted” by a group of friends to capture an amazing 4 hour yacht cruise around Manhattan their good friend, Ed, booked for his 30th birthday. Once aboard the boat, the sun […]

My friend Tom asked me to be his “Second Shooter” at a wedding in the East Village.  I jumped at the chance because I think 2nd shooting is even more fun than being the primary photographer!  You see, while Tom was making sure he captured all of the important traditional photos a bride and groom […]

Last Friday I had the privilege of not only photographing a very private marriage ceremony, but to be the witness, as well.  Lezlie and Mitch met about a year ago, fell in love, and decided to get married at City Hall in downtown Manhattan.  Lezlie is a born & bred Texan; Mitch is a native […]

Not too many couples seal the deal with a big smooch AND an enthusiastic high five after they are announced husband and wife, but then, not every couple is as uniquely cool as Kat & Chris. In the adorable seaside town of Sea Bright, NJ a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing […]

It’s that time of year again — kids are hearing their school bells for the last time before summer vacation!  Ahh to be young again… I totally miss summer vacation, don’t you? This past weekend I attended the high school graduation of a lovely & talented young lady, Amanda, who has become my “little sister.”  […]
