Marianella, Lily, and Cecilia too - Christmas

Cecilia's first portraits, and I think she did a great job! We got some smiles and waves. Was easier than the 3 year old's portraits. But I think I captured my favorite Christmas portrait EVER at this session... take a look below:

Isabelle & Sammy - Christmas

Isabelle and Sammy are just too cute! The cousins joined their elders for a Christmas photo session to decorate their home for the season, and Papou's too! Unfortunately Sammy's dad couldn't make it.... next time he'll be there! :)

LCNJ Hurricane Sandy Benefit VK

Partnering with Artist Enhancement, I was able to be the official photographer at the Latino Coalition of New Jersey's Hurricane Sandy Benefit show in Freehold, NJ. Performers included: Veronica Kole, James Marchioni, Jimmy Clark, Gene Gambuzza, Mark Nettleingham, Wil Deynes, Giana Isabella Petrone, Emily Capolupo, Briana Autiero, Edwin Feliciano, as well as many others. Donations were made to the three families this event was raising money for, including a free photography session for each family by Katy Ann Photography (Jamesburg, NJ). 

Mr. Vinnie Smith ♫♪

It's always good to see old friends you haven't seen in a while. Especially when they're practically your neighbor! And also to have the chance to photograph them with their really cool musical instruments. ♫♪ Glad we went with the blue!

Erin, Luke, & Kyleigh - Christmas

Kyleigh is growing up so fast, I remember when she was months old, and I went to her house and took some in-home portraits, lots of smiles!. Now, she's walking, talking, smiling, and will soon be running her own website. :P "Smiley Kyleigh"  Got to photograph her with her mom and dad, and of course the two pups! I love photographing animals! They'll do anything for a treat! :)

 

Seth Pincus, Sound Healer

Was able to see and take pictures of my good friend Seth, while he was visiting the garden state from way across the country, in California. I think we got some good shots! :)

 

Chris' Surprise Party!

Chris' family and friends got together to surprise her two days after her 60th birthday, at her favorite local restaurant, Ciro's Italian Restaurant, in Jamesburg, NJ. She was shocked!! Yay... success!

 

Scott Family - Fall Photos

I got to photograph the family of one of my swim lesson students this past weekend! I think it was weird for him seeing me out of the water, with a gigantic camera in front of my face. I've been working with him in the pool on and off for about 2 years, and he now loves the water! Him and his cousin had such a blast "swimming" through the leaves!

Amber Blues' Final Show... at The Old Bay

Amber Blues performs their final show as a 4-piece band, on Saturday, November 10, 2012, at The Old Bay in New Brunswick, NJ. The same town where it all began back in 2003. The show also marked the 5th year memorial show for Matt Cronce, a friend of the band for many years. ♥
