What an honor to be invited to shoot little Amara – it’s so intimate to shoot a baby with her parents.  I always encourage parents to shoot in their own home…especially with infants…I think it’s more comfortable for everyone including the baby and all the backgrounds and props have special meaning. 

Here’s their little cutie:

I LOVE living this close to New York City.  It’s amazing to be a two-hour drive from the city (I know the native New Yorkers are laughing at me).  I go in with my family several times a year and for work 2-3 times a year.  Anyway, last week I went in to do a portrait session, meet with a potential bridal client, attend a two-day commercial photography workshop and cocktail party, and see two of my dearest friends.

First, can I just rave about my friend and my University of Florida college roommate, Lisa Lindgren.    She’s a great friend and a great artist  I bought a painting of hers about two years ago and it’s  more than tripled in price!  That’s how great she is!  She just spent 6 weeks in Iceland at an all-expenses paid artists’ retreat where she had to be selected from a zillion applicants.  Check out her website:  www.lisalindgren.com.   See "drawings" for her new stuff (from Iceland).  Her work is currently in a show at the SevenGaits Gallery in Southbridge, MA.

I then had a lovely evening with my great friend Hilary (from Boston College) who is 1000% involved in the New York corporate life and lifestyle and has just kicked booty since B-school.  We had a great meal and then I got to experience my first Hanukkah candle lighting which as it was happening, I wished I had my camera in my hand.  It was very cool to share someone else’s traditions (guess that’s why I like weddings!)!

Below are a few shots of the beautiful Hilary:

I also only need to attend one of these New York workshops every once and a while to be reminded what a small world photography is – to have access to the amount of talent there was just amazing.  There was a portfolio review/cocktail party with photographers and art buyers Monday night.  It was great seeing what everyone else was showing.  I got totally motivated to redo my commercial logo and update my commercial site.  Here’s the new logo…

What fun shooting Jen and Dan’s family with a Christmas theme.  Here are some favorites:

Thanks Guys!
