Lauren & Brian’s Engagement Session in Hoboken, NJ

Even though there is a lot of spontaneity with my work during engagement sessions and weddings, some careful planning makes the end result even better! I always appreciate and love to talk to my clients beforehand about many different things, such as style, personalities, their backgrounds, the bride’s hair and makeup, and the end-use of the images. These things are crucial to successful photography. I really do photograph from my heart, and having the opportunity to talk to my clients makes this so much better – and is the reason I love it so much! Lauren and Brian did give me this opportunity, and what I discovered is a really beautiful relationship, a sense of confidence, true friendship and love with one another.  We had a beautiful day in Hoboken, where they both live. There was a sense of quiet and calm, and I was so thrilled to be there with them. Lauren and Brian, it is such a pleasure to know you – I can’t tell you how excited I am to be photographing your winter wedding at The Venetian!! 

A special thank you to Adriana & Adam for referring me to Lauren & Brian xxoo

October 13th is Etched in my Heart Forever

With hope and faith that someday the disease of breast cancer will be eradicated. Every year in October since 2000, a project I have proudly worked on with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation of North Jersey, entitled “Journeys of Courage”, is on display throughout the Mall at Short Hills. These are portraits of breast cancer survivors and people I greatly admire. I photograph them with love and admiration, and in honor of my sister, Karen, who lost her battle on this day in 1988 at the age of 34. It is so encouraging to see how far research has taken us. It’s also a time to remind our sisters, moms, and daughters to get their mammograms!
