Winner Best Family Photographer in NYC 2009 - Michael Jurick Photography

Whoo-hoo! Today, I was presented with the award for best NYC family photographer 2009 by Nickelodeon's Parents'Picks! This is incredibly exciting and I genuinely thank each and every one of you who voted for me - and especially to those who made voting for me part of their morning routine! This contest was a testament to the power of cyber marketing and social networking - the good word about my photography even reached my close friends & family down in São Paulo, Brasil and reached the other side of the planet in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. I hope that you had a chance to review my portfolio and find that my photography work had a little bit to do with the award as well ;)

I sincerely appreciate everyone's support & well-wishes and look forward to giving each of you personal high-fives and a toast of gratitude. Finally, a special thanks goes to Nickelodeon for the opportunity to participate in this fun contest.

Green Day @ Madison Square Garden

Sometimes you are just in the right spot at the right time - and that's exactly what happened to me last night at Madison Square Garden. I was shooting the band for the Bowery Presents (the promoter) and near the end of the last song we could shoot, I slipped into the front of the catwalk and nailed these killer shots.

Emily once again rises to the occasion to crush the competition - both in tennis and in front of the camera. Here are a few great pix from our portrait session on a secret rooftop tennis court overlooking the East River.
