That's all folks!

Nope, I am not moving to California, but I have a new BLOG!!!. So after two years here I'm ready to move on - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

NEW BLOG-ITY, BLOG!. Leave me some love over there! :)

This blog will remain here for now, but please add me to readers!

behind the lens.

A little shy at first, both Cynthia (she's a make-up artist), and Nick (he's an events manager) are not used to being behind the lens. They warmed up quickly and we grabbed some fun shots.

Here's a couple of my favorites - instead of telling you where these were shot, how 'bout you tell me? Leave me a comment below! :)



...and of course the slideshow!

Happy Mother's day!

Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there! I hope everyone enjoyed a beautiful day out today. Here's a quick pic of Phoebe and Liz after a nice day out this afternoon. More on Phoebe's blog here.

Back from Raleigh/Durham!

My apologies for the lapse in posting, it looks like I am here for a bit longer. Ross and his dedicated team at Flosites have been working hard on my new blog and as with anything "from scratch", technical problems can sometimes take over.....

However, he has completed an AWESOME new splash page that I LOVE!!! Check it out here! If you refresh the page new images will rotate. Thanks Ross!

I have a bunch of posts coming so don't go far!

A-N-Y-W-A-Y. They say April showers bring May flowers, but it's not supposed to rain on any bride and groom's day. :) Unfortunately, it does sometimes. Lossie and Stephen had a planned to have their ceremony on the beautiful grounds of The North Carolina Arboretum, but gray skies and showers forced the move indoors. Not to worry though, they had a really pretty church all lined up.

Fortunately, the showers let up just long enough for us to run over to the Arboretum for a few pics. I am so glad we did! I was fortunate to have Abby Liga join me for the wedding. Thanks so much Abby for making the time to come up! You took some beautiful pictures, no surprise there of course. :)

Lisa and James

Lisa and James have been waiting patiently for spring to come so we could get some fun pictures in the park. They both love cherry blossoms and they're in full bloom now! Lisa has been looking forward to this for a while, but I know James was a little worried about the shoot. Lisa did a great job of making her hubby-to-be comfortable during the shoot!

....off to Raleigh/Durham!

One of the nice things about living in the Tri-State area is the options I have to fly anywhere in the country at a moment's notice. I know, I know, some of you may be shaking your heads smiling. Yes - traveling from EWR, JFK, and LGA are not the most fun airports in the world - or clean - or easy to navigate. However - I can fly ANYWHERE in the world and most times non-stop. I have options with airports and several flights to choose from.

Since I mostly fly from Newark, I find myself on Continental quite often. Given the recent events with airlines going out of business or canceling flights, I feel very fortunate to be able to have Continental as my main choice for flights and 99.9% of the time can fly direct preventing me additional delays.

The New York area may not be the most convenient, but an awesome "jumping off" point to travel anywhere in the world. If you live in NYC and planning your wedding "elsewhere", wouldn't it make sense to hire your photographer where you live? Remember, the wedding is just one part - you have the engagement shoot (and nothing beats NYC for these!), pre-wedding consultations and album consultations. I love to be able to meet with my clients in person for these....

Case in point - I'm off to Raleigh/Durham this weekend for Lossie and Stephan's wedding this weekend. They live in Brooklyn, but decided to get married in Lossie's hometown. Lossie wanted to wait for warmer weather to do their engagement shoot, but how awesome will it be to have NYC and her hometown for their pics!?


This morning I had an on-time departure even with all the delays across the country and the American Airlines debacle! I'll be joined one of Orlando's hottest photographers Abby Liga. More later!

April Fools!

LOL - they say the best practical jokes are the ones that have some truth to them. I think this was a good one. :) I love April fools day!


As my friends have pointed out - I'm a NY'er and I'm not going anywhere. However - truth be told, I do love the west coast, and am looking to shoot a few weddings out there each year. As an artist, it is always fun to change your surroundings. My biggest problem has been having a "home base" to meet clients - I don't do coffee shops anymore. :) So if you're a photographer on the west coast who'd like to shoot in NYC and want to do some "studio swapping" please contact me privately so we can chat!

...gift card goes to Colin's comment, he knows how I feel about lateness and from my experience, it's a little more "laid back" out there. :)

July 2008 blog post:
"I can't take it, I'm going back! Why is everyone always 15 minutes late to everything here!?!"

That is probably spot on. :) Thanks for all the comments everyone!

JasonG Photo moves!

I've been waiting to make the official announcement and I am proud to announce JasonG photo will be moving! Where?
