Wow, just wow! Lily’s Bat Mitzvah was an epic tour de force of awesomeness on every level. From epic portraits in the Hamptons (which became the invitation, to capturing Lily at the skater park and the Intrepid at Chelsea Piers – to the full-tilt boogie throwdown party at Chelse Piers… Lily was a superstar in every way.
But we can’t stop at Lily… her sister Devyn, her Dad Marc and of course the Belle of the Ball, Beth (of CatherineBeth Jewelry) were rock stars.
What a party!!! Thanks to Pat & Glenn at Pat Glenn Productions for creating a Lil’ bit of heaven inside Pier 60. Enjoy the photo parade…

Zach is one cool cat. From the dynamic sunset photographs we captured on the Highline to the stunning fall foliage colors at the Fresh Meadow Country Club, Zach turned on the cool charm throughout entire exprience.
What made our job so much fun was that Zach’s entire family looked so good and had so much fun – and their guests were partying like rock stars!
Pat and Glenn from Pat Glenn Productions created a shimmering, votive-jeweled, eye-candy masterpiece out of the Fresh Meadow ballroom. Great fun guys! What an amazing time all around – and so happy to deliver this collection to Zach and his family. Happy Thanksgivukah!

What an absolute thrill to photograph Charlotte’s spectacular Bat Mitzvah at the Brooklyn Museum! The vibe inside the Lewis Miller designed, Baz Luhrmann-inspired Gatsby golden-age room was off the hook! Charlotte read from the Torah during a gorgeous Havdallah service in the theater inside the museum designed by beautiful stark white trees.
The cocktail hour in the museum was insanely awesome – Smorgasburg Brooklyn artisanal food tents – just salivate at the food in these photos!
Then, Charlotte and her fun-loving family threw down a dance party on an epic scale! As if the party couldn’t get any better, pop star Cher Lloyd appeared for a super high energy set. Mazel Tov Charlotte – you are a star!

I would also love to give a huge shout out to my super team, Paolo Ferraris, Bia Sampaio and Mark Sweeney – you guys rock!

A pristine sunset at Greenwich Point Park enabled us to create a masterpiece set of family photographs for Elliot and his family leading up to Elliot’s big day. What should be noted here is how close Elliot is with his sister and parents.
This is a wonderful family that is so kind and respectful of each other – it’s inspirational.
Elliot read perfectly from the Torah and led us by trollycar to his home for a luncheon celebration before leading a raging dance party at the Greenwhich Teen Center. Even though it was a monster dance party, Elliot’s friends were absolute gems and so well-behaved and fun! What an amazing time we had creating these photographs. Thank you so much to Elliot’s family and a very hearty Mazel Tov!

I want to give a shout-out to my good friend and blogger Alison Lambert Voron who was featured on the homepage of AOL.com today to tell her story of life with autoimmune diseases.
Despite all of what she’s experienced, Ali remains a ray of sunshine and has an energy like no other, and her warmth and beaming smile light up every room she’s in.
She is truly special. Her story makes you never want to complain…about anything. Photographing Ali, her amazing husband Mike and their angelic little Joey was an incredibly rewarding and super fun dose of autumn family photo goodness. I’m proud to call them my friends. Here’s a sneak peek at some photos and the her story on AOL.com.

When the uber-talented photographer
Paolo Ferraris excitedly told me he got engaged, I was thrilled beyond belief. I was honored that he asked me to create some beautiful portraits of him and his lovely new bride, Brandy. We had a gorgeous late afternoon sunset which added a little extra mother-nature magic to these photographs. Congratulations Team Ferraris!

What an amazing thrill to present such a complete collection of photographs for Hope and her awesome family!
We began with a stealth photo shoot at Hope’s favorite place… none other than Camp Laurel in Maine! What could be better than making beautiful and timeless portraits on a camp sailboat!
Hope read perfectly from the Torah at the magnificent Temple Emanu-El during a Havdalah service before leading us through a massive dance party at the Mandarin Oriental. Sometimes I kid that editing down the photos to tell the essence of the day is the hardest part of the job – just too many great photos. Mazel Tov to you and your family Hope – what a wonderful celebration!
