Hamptons Summer Highlights 2008

Every year I look forward to my week in the Hamptons. It's arguably one of the most beautiful places in the country (especially in the summer) and I get to work my magic under sunset skies and lush green landscapes. I get to capture kids and family portraits that truly and visually communicates the essence of summer. Here's a few of my favorite images from this year. Enjoy!

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!
