New York Glamour/Outdoor Portraits

NEW YORK GLAMOUR /OUTDOOR PORTRAITS

New York Glamour goes to the park……chasing cherry blossoms!  Yes…..spring is finally here after  a long, nasty and ruthless winter in NYC.  I don’t know about you but there is only so much white powder and cold one can deal with.  I photographed this lovely lady for her new headshots (her session will be posted in another upcoming post…..:o)) After we completed her headshots for her new website, I dragged her to this location to get some shots of her with these cherry blossoms.  I happened to stumble upon them the day before at a shoot and just had to take advantage since cherry blossoms are not in season for too long……usually they last up to about 2 weeks.  So if you love them as much as I do and want photos with them you will have to wait until next year since they are all gone now.  They usually bloom in late April, sometimes earlier, sometimes later.  With some flexibility and close attention you might be able to seize the moment.  If you like these flowers then I  recommend that you book your session in March for April and then we will just have to be a little flexible with a date as we wait patiently for them to bloom.  :o)

But for now here are a few  beautiful portraits for you to enjoy until next spring!  :o)

Long Island Sweet 16/Brienna’s Sweet 16

Long Island Sweet 16/Brienna’s Sweet 16

Sweet 16’s are always a lot of fun.  It’s a reason for a girl to get all dressed up, her hair and make-up done and invite all of her friends and family to celebrate her very special day.  She gets to feel like a princess and dance the night away.  And then there is the candle ceremony where she calls upon one person or group at a time to help light one candle.  She will do this sixteen times, sometimes seventeen times for good luck.  That is probably usually the slowest part of the evening.  After that dancing resumes…..

Here are some photos from Brienna’s Sweet 16 held at Vetro’s, sister restaurant to Russo’s on the Bay.

Long Island Dancer Headshots

Long Island Dancer Headshots

Spring is finally here and it’s time to wear those pretty bright colors again.  They also look great and make a great choice for what to wear for your headshot session as you can see from the photos below.  Jackie, a professional dancer from Long Island was in need of new Long Island Dancer Headshots.  She contacted me and I gave her some recommendations on colors to bring to her photo session.  One of the colors I always like to suggest to my clients is royal blue.  It always looks great in photos!  Another great color choice is green.  In this case the green also  worked since Jackie is a dancer for the New York Jets, so it definitely worked  for the headshots.  I love these cute tops and I absolutely love these colors.  We ended up using all three blouses that she brought because  they were just fun.  :o)  Of course after the long miserable winter that we had here in New York it is refreshing to see people coming in with more cheerful choices of colors.
