Happy Thanksgiving to all!
A wonderful time to enjoy time with family and reflect with gratitude on our many blessings.
One of my real joys of Thanksgiving is to say
Thank you, with warm appreciation of our association this past year!
Best Wishes for a wonderful holiday!

What an amazing day!
The weather was perfect today! I can't imagine better weather. I was able to indulge in an outdoor breakfast in the garden and enjoy my coffee while surrounded with freshly blooming lilies and sunshine. With my two pooches just hanging with me...serenity!

Portrait of the Week Family
I met Linda a few years ago as BNI members. We developed a camaraderie there. A few months ago, she asked me to create a family portrait for her. She chose the same park where she and her husband had been married. It was a lovely time, strolling around the different areas of the park and having so many gorgeous spots to create family portraits. They brought their cute dog and she was adorable. Their daughter is an amazing young lady in her early years of elementary school. I was so honored to be able to capture their love for one another to create pieces to hang in their home and share with friends and family. Touching moments of togetherness, that is what it is all about. Family is our journey to forever...creating wall portraits to capture those feelings warms the heart each time that they are gazed upon.

Portrait of the Week Sisters
It was so much fun to photograph these two sisters who obviously adored each other. The younger sister's giggles as they played around outside were so enjoyable to listen to. The affection the teenage sister had for her younger sibling was so evident in her expressions as she looked at her little sister. It was a fun heartwarming session capturing these two siblings. I love my job and am happy to have the opportunity to create these portraits for families to treasure.

Portrait of the Week tiny toes
There is nothing in this world quite so precious and miraculous as a new baby. A new baby is the beginning of a family. Birth is the beginning of the magical journey of life. I am honored to be able to meet so many new families and their precious new babies. It is a delight for me to be able to create beautiful images for them to cherish and capture this fleeting time of life that is so special and new. Especially to witness and record the love and pride of the new parents as they gaze upon their new infant.

Portrait of the Week Wedding
This week's portrait of the week is a very sweet couple who will soon be celebrating their first anniversary. Their beautiful wedding was held at West Park Winery in West Park, NY. A gorgeous place to select for their special day! Their love was so evident that day! The way they looked at each other, the touch of their hands as they walked down the path, they were "naturals" in front of the camera and shared many special moments that day. The flowers were beautifully done by Sara at Floral Fantasies in Rhinebeck. Many things came together that day to capture the beauty of this couple, especially their feelings for each other.

Fun with aTwo year old
This little sweetheart is back for her two year old session. I first met her as an infant when her Mom brought her in for a baby session. She enjoyed running around the studio and playing peek a boo. Although she preferred to be running around with just her diaper, we managed to get a few with her beautiful dress on.

Portrait of the Week High School Senior
The Portrait of the Week this week is a high school senior. I enjoyed the portrait session with this senior. She is very poised and self confident and does so many interesting things from cooking to horse back riding competitions not to mention soccer and excelling in school. Her true spirit came through in her portraits. The future is in good hands!

Respecting the environment has been important to me for my entire life. As much as possible, I follow green practices in my studio as well. Always recycling and conserving, I also offer green products to my clients. In 2009, I added a new line of wedding and portrait albums that made with organic materials in the USA. I also offer invitations and greeting cards, note cards and birth announcements printed on recycled papers.
