Diana's Baby Shower

3/28/2017

Diana is having twin boys! She is so excited to be a mom and I was so excited I was there to celebrate her baby shower with her. The people in Diana's life went above and beyond to support her with some amazing gifts for her two little guys. She received some beautiful crocheted blankets, handmade stained glass sun catchers and so much more. One particularly meaningful gift came from her sister-in-law Lauren. She made two pillows for Diana's baby boys. One was made with a shirt that belonged to Diana's father and the other was made with a shirt that belonged to her husband Mike's father. Those got a very sweet reaction from Diana's guests. I'm very happy for Diana and Mike and I can't wait to meet their two little gentlemen. Today is also Diana's birthday, so I'm wishing a very happy birthday to her! Here are some photos I took at the party.

Product Spotlight: Gallery Wrap Canvases

3/20/2017

0 Comments

I recently added two more gallery wrap canvas samples to my studio wall that I'm very excited about! So here's a quick glimpse inside my humble little studio to tell you a bit about these great products. On the left is a 16x20 canvas of Addison and on the right is an 8x8 square canvas of Jack.

Canvases are my favorite way to showcase artwork on the wall. The way it pops out from the surface just makes it feel a little more impressive than a regular print. I offer options to frame these canvases, but I also like the look of them bare, which is what you see here. There are three ways to customize the outside wrapped edge of the image: with white, with black or with the outer edges of your image wrapping around. That last option requires a photo with a good amount of space around the subject of the photograph. My samples show a white edge wrap, which I think matches the light and airy feel of the room. This is the edge option that is most popular with my clients. All canvases are finished with sawtooth hangers on the back and bumpers to keep your wall protected.

The professional print lab that I order my products from uses museum-quality, archival papers and inks to ensure that my clients' prints will last generations. I'm proud to say that all the products I offer are hand-crafted in the US with recycled paper in a facility with solar power.
It's important to me to offer high-quality products because my clients are very important to me and so are their images.

Also pictured above are my press printed albums. Look out for a blog post highlighting them soon!
Feel free to contact me for any questions regarding the products I offer!

Tula Kitchen in Bay Shore is hosting a fundraiser this Sunday, March 19th, to benefit Little Shelter in Huntington. There will be live music, hors d'oeuvres, a Chinese auction, adoptable dogs to meet outside the event and more! I've donated the basket below for their Chinese auction with a free photo shoot and $100 print credit. I'm very happy to be able to help this great organization, which has been helping Long Island's animals for an incredible 90 years! So if you're looking for a fun afternoon of food and music, or even a furry new member of the family, check out this event and support your local shelters!
For more information, check out Little Shelter's website here.

Easter/Spring Mini Sessions

3/15/2017

1 Comment

Looking out my window today, it's not feeling very springy out there quite yet. Even though winter is still hanging on for a little while longer, I already have the warm weather on my mind. I've been setting up my studio for Easter and Spring mini sessions! Mini sessions are shorter in length than my normal sessions, but just as fun (maybe even more fun for Dad, because they're over sooner)! Although options for backgrounds and outfit changes are limited, a lot can be achieved in these 30 minute sessions. Sessions can take place at my home studio in Farmingville or outdoors at a location of your choice within Suffolk County. With a reduced session fee of $75 and a special mini session product menu, this is a great way to celebrate the new season with some beautiful photos of little ones, furry ones or the whole family.

Here is the studio setup I've put together for these sessions. I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of those bunnies on the wall. I traced and cut them out from thin sheets of cork and glued cotton balls to their cute little bunny butts. I love when I get to be crafty in my line of work.

Easter is April 16th this year! Schedule a mini session today! Email me at [email protected] or call me at (631)256-7476.

Photos from the Long Island Pet Expo

3/12/2017

I had such a fun time at the pet expo yesterday! I got to pet a hairless cat, meet a pig who was on tv, and see a dachshund race. I talked to so many great pet parents about their furbabies (and scalebabies and featherbabies and so on). It was also great to connect with some really dedicated and passionate owners of pet businesses. It was a really great environment full of love and respect for animals. Here are some shots I took in between nuzzling tons of animals and drooling over dog treats that looked good enough to eat.

The pet expo is still going on today until 5pm. You can find more information here. Have fun!

Long Island Pet Expo this weekend

3/7/2017

0 Comments

The Long Island Pet Expo is going on this Friday through Sunday at the Brentwood campus of Suffolk Community College. I've been to this event in the past and it's always a lot of fun. The first time I went to the expo, many years ago, I saw a cat training show. I was pretty amazed at what these cats could be trained to do, especially since I couldn't get mine to look at me when I said their names!

The event isn't only for dog and cat owners, either. There is going to be a lot to see there for owners of rabbits, reptiles, birds and more. One time I went and there was a man who kept Madagascar hissing cockroaches for pets. He had them on bedazzled leashes, I KID YOU NOT. He wanted me to pet them and I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm an animal lover, but sometimes you have to draw the line. Turns out my line is right before cockroaches on leashes.

There are vendors, shows, educational sessions and demonstrations going on all 3 days. I'm especially interested in learning about the pet CPR class that's being held, because I've been wanting to learn those skills, just in case I ever need them
(and I hope I don't)!
Leashed pets are welcome at the event, just not with retractable leashes.
If you buy your ticket online, you get $2 off the admission price.
You can find more information about the event here.
I'll be visiting on Saturday. If you see me there, please say hi!
I look like this and I'll probably have a camera swinging around my neck :)

Hope to see you there!
