Israel Summer 2008 Highlights

On our travels to Israel this summer I set out to capture the ancient city of Jerusalem and the old Arab market with a unique view. I used my Lensbaby selective focus 50mm lens to give the images an ethereal almost otherworldly feel. We also spent alot of time on the beaches of Tel Aviv (and played hours of Matkot / beach paddle tennis), and of course enjoyed time with our cousins and extended family in Natanya and Jerusalem! Enjoy!

Eeeddie Bear Hits 7!

It's an Eeeddie bear blog posting week as I share more pix of my gorgeous party girl. Eden celebrated at the world famous Dylan's Candy Bar and ate more candy than any 7 year old should! The party was a blast and people had so much fun that we partied deep into the afternoon at the NY Spa Castle - where all the kids went swimming and soaked in the spa. Check out NY Spa Castle - it's a New York hidden gem, for sure! Meanwhile, here are some really fun pix from Eden's 7th birthday party, enjoy!

Heading to Israel, Here's a Look Back

As I get ready to vacation in Israel this week, I was reflecting on one of my past trips to Israel back in 1995. I was telling the kids this story last night before bed. I hiked to the top of Masada starting at 5am so that we could see the sunrise at the top of the mountain. When we arrived at the top, these doves landed on top of the mountain to watch the sunrise along side of us. I took these pictures and treasure them for their serene beauty and of that magic trip to to the top of the mountain on my first trip to Israel.

Golden Summer Light

Some summer nights are just grand aren't they? Last week I photographed beautiful Emily in Atlantic Beach under the glorious golden sunset light. Emily was an angel and the reults of the shoot are pretty amazing. Check out some of these highlights:
