Taylor’s Sweet 16 Long Island Event Photography.  I recently posted Taylor’s  Sweet 16 pre-event glamour photos.  Because Taylor’s party start time was when it was already dark, I explained to her family that we would have to meet three hours early on the day of the event in order to get the photos taken in the park that they wanted.  After explaining all the benefits of having a pre-event Sweet 16 photo session, Taylor’s Mom agreed.  We still planned to take some formal portraits of Taylor and her family on the day of the event.  Taylor arrived an hour early with her family and court in order to get these portraits taken in and outside Jericho Terrace.  It was a lovely night and Taylor had no problems going outside to get some cool night shots which I absolutely love taking.  She absolutely loved taking these night shots.  And Jericho Terrace certainly provided a beautiful backdrop for them.  Afterwards, we went back inside and we took some  photos with her court and her family.  A select few of those are listed below.  It was then time for the party to start and boy did this  family  know how to throw a good party.  All the kids had a blast and it was super fun capturing this event and being part of Taylor’s memorable day.

I am so excited that Spring is finally here and that the weather is getting warmer.  I am looking forward to taking more headshot sessions outdoors.  I absolutely love the diversity of backgrounds that you can get for your professional headshots outdoors.  This featured session is of a co-worker and friend of mine.  Nathalie is a skating coach and an aspiring young actress.  She came to me to get her headshots done.    We scheduled a date and took them outside the skating rink and captured a variety of looks.  Here are some of my favorites from her headshot session.

As much as I love doing in studio maternity photo sessions, taking maternity photos outdoors can also provide for beautiful pictures.  It can also provide a variety of backdrops.   This couple contacted me looking for a casual and rustic fall themed shoot.  The day of their session arrived and the weather was really unpredictable.  There was no rain in the forecast, however, it was raining in certain areas and not raining in others.  As I was driving to meet them I was almost about to cancel the shoot.  Fortunately the couple agreed to meet me at another location and we were able to still have the session.  :o)

I absolutely loved the simplicity of their outfit choices.  I loved Mama’s cowboy boots to!

Here are some of my favorites from their session.

Your wedding day is a special day in your life, one in which you have dreamed about for many years and one in which you will look back upon and cherish.   Many months of planning go into your wedding day.  And there are many details of the wedding day that need to be picked which include the flowers, the cake, the decorations, the jewelry, the invitations and of course most importantly, the wedding dress.

Last month I got to be a part of the ModShoot which allowed me to experiment and get creative photos of  the typical wedding day details.  The shoot took place at the Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, NYC, an old building dated back to 1909 that has been transformed as a creative venue for events, weddings, shoots and films.  This certainly was an amazing venue and made for a wonderful backdrop.  I am grateful for the delightful vendors listed below who contributed to this fun, creative and stylized shoot.

I love this beautiful hanger provided by Black Label Decor.  Perfect for hanging your bridal gown.

Long Island New York Headshots/Session with Shana

Long Island New York Headshots

 I had the pleasure of photographing headshot for actress Shana Kaplan last month.   Shana is a Long Island based actress and has appeared in various film projects, including Spiderman 2, Noah, and Gabriel.  We had a great time during her Long Island Headshots photo session, here are some of our favorite photos from her photo shoot.  I loved this blue blouse that she wore.  I usually prefer a more royal blue toned shirt for headshots, but this shade of blue complimented her  very nicely.
