Tips For A Creative Arts Party

Creative Arts Party

This past weekend we had a creative arts party for my little one’s birthday. She loves to paint and draw so that was the perfect theme. And in my book, ya gotta have a theme!  Makes party planning so much easier! Party planning takes a while. Even though the final result may not look like [...]

Photographing “The Boys”

Photo session with Leo

Each year around this time my sister requests a photo session for her boys.   I have slideshows of Roey and Leo from last year if you want to check them out. First we started with Little Leo. I used to call him Baby Leo but he graduated to “Little”.  As soon as I got there [...]

How was your weekend? Did you do anything interesting? Last week I had a photo session with the Riverdale Rising Stars (Juniors) – a theater company here in Riverdale NY for kids between the ages of 6 and 11.    Their show Fiddler On The Roof, Jr. opened this weekend. These kids are so cute [...]

Family Activity NYC – NY Aquarium

NY Aquarum

Fleeting Moment – NYC Subway Ride

Fleeting Moment - Subway Reflection

This week I was working on a new segment for my blog called “Fleeting Moments” where I would talk about having your camera ready and being aware of your surroundings so you’ll be ready to capture those fleeting moments. Then a weird thing happened. I was at B&H Photo on Tuesday for a workshop on [...]

Family Art Project

Family Art Project

Sometimes on the weekends we take the girls to Wave Hill for their Family Art Project. They have a different project each weekend and it’s usually somehow tied in to nature.   Since we were basically homebound all weekend due to threats of a hurricane, we needed to come up with different projects to keep [...]

Photography Camp

Today is my little one’s last day of preschool and my older daughter finishes up her school on Tuesday. This school year went unusually fast this year! There’s not even much of a break until the end of the summer because camp already starts next week. Even though it’s day camp and not sleepaway there’s [...]
