Sometimes I work so hard at getting an image  that I love and other times….you have two seconds,  click the shutter and with the magic of Photoshop create an image that you just LOVE! That’s what happened just this morning. I was out to brunch with my family and one of my adorable nieces kindly posed for me. ( without complaining I tell you!!)  I’ll get the other two soon enough…watch out girls …you haven’t escaped me yet! XOXO.

I photographed these children at the end of the summer at a family gathering and was pleased to be called back for their own session. These children are just adorable!  I enjoyed little “N’s”  big smiles when Mom was being silly, and little Miss “G” with her beautiful Red Purse filled with….mmmmm candy!! A girl after my own heart!  The red purse  was a perfect fit for her vibrant personality. Thank you “E” for your patient help with the little ones and for  pulling out your guitar for us – I enjoyed  that! Keep practicing and you’ll  be so surprised what you’ll be playing by next year.:)

Recently, I’ve been taking photos for  Luisa New York located in Pleasantville, NY. I just love walking in the store and being drawn to the wonderful aroma and instantly feeling something special!  Gili Zilca the owner, has developed a line of hand-crafted, natural, aroma therapy  products that leave you feeling wonderful!  If you feel that you could use a special treat  for yourself everyday,  this may be the remedy!!  She has so many wonderful products: soaps, lotions, scrubs, bath salts and much more all made from the finest ingredients. The hand-crafted  soaps are made from olive oil, glycerin or goats milk and leave your skin moisturized and  feeling so silky smooth!! Each product has a unique aroma that leaves you wanting more.  I have to say,  I wasn’t one who thought there would be much of a difference between soaps but there is!!  I really love  her products and see a difference in my skin. Gili is in the process of  adding all her products to her website so be sure to visit  www.LuisaNewYork.com in the upcoming weeks and  treat yourself or  purchase  a gift for someone special for  the upcoming holiday. There are great ideas for your  family, friends and your children’s teachers. See her ad in the  upcoming issue of Westchester Family Magazine displaying her line of kid products!

OHHH the newborns!! They just make your heart swell!  Little Miss “E” was so good as we  photographed her! I just had to make a special tu tu for her seeing that her Mom is a dance teacher. I’m sure she’ll be a beautiful dancer someday!

Meet Chase….she’s an adorable German Short-haired Pointer just about  4 months old. She’s already been traveling from Long Island to the Catskills!  Lucky dog!  It would be impossible not to fall in love with her, she was so friendly and just loved everyone. Thanks JH for holding treats and helping me to get these shots from a very curious active puppy!
