I know that I have said it many times before how much I love taking headshots.  I love working with interesting people, whether that person is a professional, business person, athlete or an artist, they  teach me about themselves and their industries and/or hobbies.  I had the pleasure of working with pop/rock singer, Amy Leo.  Amy is a passionate Long Island, NY based singer that has also traveled the US and internationally.

Many times when I first meet a client at a session they are almost always a bit nervous.  It usually takes a good 20 minutes or so before their shoulders relax and their faces soften up.  Once that happens, that is when the session really starts.  It is usually why most headshot sessions take about 30 minutes or more, especially if you need or want more than one headshot and a couple of different looks.

Amy immediately warmed up in front of my camera, she was ready from the very beginning to rock her session.   Every now and then this will happen.  Some people are just tend to be more relaxed in front of the camera.  After about twenty or so minutes into the session, Amy got even more relaxed.  The best images almost always happen about halfway through the session to the very end.  We did several looks both in studio and outside.   Here are some of my favorites from her Long Island Singer Headshots shoot:

After I finished taking  her headshots we did a few fashion/glamour inspired pictures.  Feel free to follow the link to view more of Amy’s New York glamour photos and when is the best time to book a shoot if you want pictures taken with the cherry blossoms.

Thanks, Amy.  I enjoyed working with you, you totally rock as a performer and as a person.  I wish you continued success in all your endeavors.

One of my favorite weddings of 2015 was the Wedding at the Metropolitan in Glen Cove, NY.   I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet couple’s special day.  They kept their wedding simple and threw a big celebration to celebrate and share this special occassion with their family and friends.  And it certainly was a party!  Everyone had a great time.  I was truly honored to have the opportunity to capture these memories for them.  I wish them all the happiness as they embark on their new life together as husband and wife.

Below are some of my favorite photos.

Recently I blogged Part One of Olga and Gino’s NY Wedding.    The getting ready/bridal prep and portrait all took place in Forest Park, NY.   After all the formal portraits were completed, we traveled to LaVue, which is located in South Brooklyn in the town of Sheepshead Bay.  Known to be a very modern and eclectic looking bar and lounge including rooftop lounge that is open during the summer months, LaVue also holds ceremonies and parties for all special occasions, including Weddings.  If you would like to  read more about LaVue please click here.  Olga and Gino got married in front of their closest friends and family on the rooftop of LaVue.  Fortunately the weather held up nicely.  There were some severe threats of heavy rain and flooding in the forecast but that all cleared up as the sun gods looked down upon them on their wedding day.  After the ceremony finished, we moved on downstairs an we got to capture some fun moments.   Everyone just could not wait to get the party started!  Below are some captures from their Brooklyn, NY Wedding that include the ceremony and some highlights from their reception party.  A special big shout out goes to Charles Eames, who was my second shooter for the day, some of whose photos are sprinkled in with mine.

I can’t forget Olga & Gino’s Wedding Day.  For months prior to the big day, I spoke with the bride about outdoor locations in Queens where we could take the formal photos.  Since she wanted an outdoor park setting, we decided to use Forest Park.  It also happened to be very convenient since it was near her mom’s home where she was planning to get ready.  It turned out to be quite a wedding day!  A few days before, we were promised to get heavy torrential rain.  Fortunately the torrential downpours came the night before their wedding day and the sun gods looked down upon us.   The sun magically came out at exactly the moment that I arrived at the bride’s for her bridal prep.  Since we were only minutes away from Forest Park  we had sufficient time to take some photos along the trails, near the bandshell and we even got to take the wedding couple on a ride on the carousel to capture some beautiful images.  These happen to be some of my favorite images from their wedding day.  Below are a few of my favorites from their prep, their first look and the formals taken at Forest Park in Forest Hills, NYC.  A special big thanks to my second shooter, Charles Eames, for coming out to help me and take some amazing images, a few of which are mixed in here along with mine.

Congratulations again Olga & Gino.  You are an absolute sweet and adorable couple and it was such a pleasure to be a part of your special day.

Cheers!

Long Island Sweet 16 Photography

I love taking  Sweet 16 photography as well as photos of Weddings, Mitzvahs and other parties at the Westbury Manor.  Not only do they have a great outdoor setting to host your cocktail hour (weather permitting of course), but they have some of the most beautiful lush green gardens, flowers, bridges and paths which serves as a beautiful backdrop for photographing the formals of your special event.  You definitely don’t want to skip out on getting professional photos taken of your Sweet 16 here.

I was thrilled to  take these photos of Sydney’s Sweet 16.  She wore the most prettiest pink dress and looked absolutely stunning.  Her court was all dressed in white and they all wore matching pink shoes.  I began by taking some photos of Sydney by herself and then of her with her court and her family.

Then it was time to party.  Sydney opted out of having the traditional candle lighting but she still had her special dance with her dad and  everyone sang happy birthday to her and then had a cake.

After that, we proceeded to take some night photos of her outside before it was time for me to go.  So glad that we did them.  I love capturing night shots.
