This talented executive had so much personality and was a pleasure to photograph. It was inspiring to see her ambition and drive to succeed. Her warmth, style and open smile made this session a lot of fun.
One of my colleagues is a talented attorney and a published author. We recently got together to take a few photos to update her various business profiles.
My new camera arrived and here are some test shots of my friends.
Here are a couple of photos of our friends’ adorable daughter.
Halloween costumes were in full bloom over the weekend. Central Park featured children - both young and old - dressed to the nines, or slightly less if by design. My favorite images were snapped of children in the concrete jungle pumpkin patch, a truly unique New York experience.
See you Wednesday on West 69th Street for the main event!
I loved photographing my first adult model, a lovely and talented hedge fund executive.
This past weekend we went to Forest Hills to spend time with Eric and Julia and their adorable daughters Ella and Sophia. Although Eric and I work for the same company, it was the first time all of us met. It was also the first time Adam met twins and he couldn’t stop hugging them. Ella and Sophia generously shared all their toys and impressive library of books written in English and Polish. Both Julia and Eric speak several foreign languages and have had some amazing experiences - living and teaching in Japan, and commuting between Boston and New York City while Eric was completing two Master’s degrees at Harvard. Our children were well behaved and we were able to enjoy a delicious meal and engage in thought provoking discussion. We then went for a stroll to soak up some gentle fall sun and capture a few fun images of the twins at a local playground in Forest Hills Gardens.
Eric and Julia, we can’t wait to see you again to do some family portraits.

Following our Maryland vacation, we headed to Fairfield, CT for a weekend visit. While there, we got a chance to enjoy several beaches along what’s called the Gold Coast of Connecticut. It is remarkable how the scenery changes from one state to another. While cruising down quiet picturesque roads of Fairfield, we noticed that some trees were already bursting with color. Manhattan colors come later and it is one of my favorite times to take photographs, as foliage in Central Park is truly spectacular. Let’s hope for a few more days of brilliant color before the grey days of winter arrive.
Following a sun-baked two-day stay at Tyson’s Corner, Virgina, we headed to my aunt and uncle’s for a much needed break. This was our second annual trip to Maryland, a welcome respite from routines, and an opportunity to see our family again. Cousins Alex and Jordan look great, they were a lot of fun to be around.
We also spent a day with Erika and Jason at their beautiful new home in DC paying tribute to their amazing culinary skills. Erika and Jason, we hope to see you in NYC at our annual holiday gathering in December.
We met our friends Emily and Scott at their beautiful pre-war home on the Upper East Side, complete with an arched ceiling that we once owned at our former coop on 72nd Street. Sutton’s one year birthday party was a blast! Adam enjoyed it too as evidenced by the tequila he poured over his head. It shouldn’t be long before he pledges a fraternity. Your intrepid baby photographer spent a good part of the evening on the ground and/or soil snapping pictures of Sutton’s family. We enjoyed meeting his grandparents and cousins. What a pleasure it was to watch Sutton start to walk.
Thanks to Sutton’s parents for lending Adam some dry clothes for our long ride down to Virginia after the party was over.
Here are two pictures:
