{Maternity} Carol and Ryan

I just don't know where the time goes. Carol and I have know eachother for almost 20 yrs and although there was a time where life pulled us in different directions, when we reconnected its as if no time was lost. We always just pick up right where we left off.

Carol and I may not speak on a daily basis but we keep eachother up to date in our lives. When they got engaged I had the pleasure of shooting their engagement photos in their home town of Westfield, NJ. I attended her wedding and witnessed her marry the love of her life and so it was only fitting that I capture the beginning of their new journey together as parents. Now in her third trimester, Carol can finally sit back and enjoy her pregnancy. Their new home is finally finished and all they are waiting on now is Baby Meo to arrive! Carol & Ryan, thank you for allowing me to capture such a special time in your life and most importantly, for being such wonderful friends!

Mali & Jimmy: Maternity

It was a beautiful day in Central Park and my cousin Mali and her husband Jimmy were in town for their baby shower and there was no way I could miss out on taking their photos. It meant so much to me to memorialize this chapter in their lives, more so because its a true blessing. This baby has no idea how long a journey it's been for both their parents and how much struggle their love has endured but he is finally going to make his appearance and we can't wait!! Mali & Jimmy, thank you so very much for letting me capture such an amazing moment in your lives. Come mid summer we will all have the opportunity to meet your Angel and we can't wait! I love you already baby Jojo!

Sandy + Tony = Zoey

This past Sunday I had the honor of photographing the lovely Sandy Jenete and her beau Tony in Prospect Park.  It was a beautiful sunny morning and the park was full of life as several obstacle courses were taking place but we were able to find a quiet spot and dove right in.  Thank you Sandy and Tony for the wonderful Bambo plant but most of all, thank you for allowing me to capture this special time in your life.  I can't wait to meet baby Zoey :-)

Joy & Keith - Maternity

I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely couple in their home a few weeks back and I had such a fun time! First off, I love their apartment :-) Second, Joy makes the most best tasting home fries I have ever had! So clearly, after devouring the best meal of the day, we kicked off our session. Joy was a bit nervous at first but by the end, she let out her inner Diva! You rock girl :-) Thank you Joy and Keith for allowing me to capture this moment in your lives, it was truly a pleasure.





















Have a Happy New Year!!
