monster racing - dover, de
|
|
|
|
Do you remember the 1990 Tony Scott movie, "Days of Thunder" with Tom Cruise (aka Cole Trickle)? Well, Sunday was the day of thunder for me!
|
| Today I went to Dover, DE to race on the Dover Downs Speedway in a NASCAR with Monster Racing . What a thrill! I rode 10 laps in a very fast hot rod! I have always dreamed of driving very fast on a race track and today my dream came true. It was awesome to ride the monster mile and feel the thrill of the road. I had nervous excitement that I won't soon forget. |
| Just before my ride. Tom Cruise - watch out. |
| After I pulled in to the pit , the tech told me that I did well on the track. |
| Helping me out of the car. No doors on these babies! |
| As you can tell , I enjoyed myself! |
| Monster racing was fantastic! Now what next dream can I reach for? :) |

jake's bar mitzvah
|
|
|
|
I had the honor of photographing Jake's Bar Mitzvah. The Bar Mitzvah, as well as the party, was held at Beth Israel in Northfield NJ.
Here Jake's father helps him get dressed before the ceremony. |
| Jake's parents as well as the Rabbi go over the details of the ceremony shortly before it began. |
| Jake reads from the torah. |
Jake is a really cool young man. He is a surfer and his entire theme of the party was surfing and the beach. It was relaxed, fun and hip. No wonder he wanted me to photograph his event! :)
|
| Jake was busting out his best moves on the dance floor with the DJ and dancers. |
Jake's parents put together an awesome slide show of Jake's life from infancy to the present. It was enjoyed by all.
Congratulations Jake! |

nikon dabbling
|
|
|
|
Well, here I am again...dabbling in the Nikon world. I was a always a Nikon shooter up until July 2006 when I decided to venture into the world of Canon. Canon lured me with tasty files and low noise ISOs (up to 1600 with the 5D).
Now I am being called back to Nikon with the beautiful D3. No noise ISOs up to 6400, 12.1 MP camera at 9 fps (frames per second). I am mostly an available light shooter and this camera may take me places where I dare not have ventured before. I am excited to use it and see what rockin' images it can produce for me.
I'll post some test images later and let you be the judge :) |

steven codella - head shots
|
|
|
|
| Steven Codella is a handsome young man. He has Tom Cruise looks with that killer smile! Steven is starting his modeling career and asked me to do head shots for him last week. We met at Ritten House Square in Philly. I had photographed his sister's (Beth) wedding 2 years ago and that is how he heard about my photography. |
| Steven's sister, Beth, came to the session with her beautiful baby boy, Tyler. He just turned 8 months old. |
As we ended the session, people dressed in green were running through Ritten House Square screaming as they whizzed by to the nearest pub for a frosty beverage to cella-brate St. Patrick's Day.
I think a few of these guys are aspiring to be future bridesmaids. |

happy birthday to me
|
|
|
|
Well, here I am cella-brating another birthday today. This is the first year without my parents. They are visiting my niece and nephew who live in Puerto Rico with their grandparents for 12 days. I usually send my parents roses on my birthday with a card "Thank you for the gift of life". Without my parents, I would not be here today. I love you mom and dad. xo
I was born at 4:38am in the morning. Funny thing is that last year I woke up at exactly 4:38am and thought...wow, I just woke up on my birthday!
This photo is me in the 3rd grade. Notice the white barrettes. My mom used to put them in my hair at night before I went to bed telling me this was to "train my straight hair to stay in place". uh huh..that worked like a charm mom! I remember waking up in the morning with an imprint of the barrett on my forehead.
I haven't changed much..other than I just don't like to wear dresses anymore :) |

adrien + matt - the carriage house
|
|
|
|
Adrien and Matt were married on March 1st at St. Michael's church in Atlantic City, NJ. They were my 1st couple to be photographed for 2008. When they booked me last year, they emailed with "We have met with other photographers who have come with great recommendations but have been disappointed upon seeing their work does not compare to yours. We hope you are available for our wedding date. We are two of your biggest fans!"
|
| Here is our beautiful bride, Adrien. |
| Waiting in the car outside of the church. |
| Matt sees Adrien as she walks up the aisle with her dad. |
| Big smiles as they are pronounced husband and wife. |
| St. Michael's church on Mississippi Avenue is beautiful. I love the marble floors. |
| Adriend and Matt are announced into the room - everyone on their feet! |
| I love the bird's eye view for the 1st dance. |
| There was laughter and smiles all night long! |
| Adrien was dancing to a "jump rope"! |

| This image is of Christine leaving her chair to invite you to sit down and enjoy her music. |
| Christine is quite an accomplished guitarist. I am such a huge fan of hers. I hope to one day learn to play a few of her songs! |
| I asked Christine what was the inspiration of "Really, Really Good Kiss". She told me...but swore me to secrecy! |
| Check Christine's music out on iTunes. |

miranda + mario | the engagement
|
|
|
|
Miranda and Mario are getting married October 12th 2008. Miranda is the event coordinator at Congress Hall in lovely Cape May NJ. I was so honored that she wanted me to photograph her wedding!
Our location for the shoot was the Cape May Zoo/Park. It was a very cold and windy day (high of 31) and a wind chill in the teens. Miranda and Mario were ready to brave the cold weather and go for it! It was so cold that after 10 minutes I could not feel my finger on the shutter release on my camera!
It turned out to be a great shoot as you can tell. |
| Miranda and Mario are so happy and so in love. |
| They went down the slide in the park. Miranda was surprised when she reached a puddle of cold water at the end of the ride! |
| Miranda said she had not been on a swing in years. I loved their playfulness. |
| Miranda and Mario said they were "jumping for joy" to be married this upcoming year! |
Mario asked for a piggy back ride and Miranda was happy to oblige!
Congratulations Miranda and Mario. I look forward to October 12th 2008! |
