Therefore........I am proud to now offer gift certificates!
Photography gift certificates are a perfect and unique gift for baby showers, weddings, birthday gifts, or just because.  Gift certificates are sold in any amount and are customizable.

Renee+Sean

Renee and I used to work together. We lost touch over the last few months so I was completely stoked when she contacted me to tell me first, that she was engaged, and second, that she needed some engagement photos.  I have always known Renee as a coworker (an awesome coworker!) but over the last few weeks, I got to know Renee as a part of something bigger.  Renee and Sean are an amazing couple.  They are funny, easy-going, giving, and totally in love.  Thanks for letting me into your world long enough to capture these great photographs.
Congratulations Renee & Sean!  You guys are perfect for each other!






























Mom+Ray

A few weeks ago, I went to visit my parents in Atlanta.  One night (after eating way too much Mexican food!) we headed to a park to hang out (and walk off some of that food!).  I was able to capture a few photographs of my parents being very sweet with each other.  Here are few of my favorites.

Play Promotional Pictures-Flesh-Light Stories

My close friend Michel Chahade is directing an original play entitled Flesh-Light Stories for the New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC) in August.  FringeNYC is the largest multi-arts festival in North America, with more than 200 companies from all over the world performing for 16 days in more than 20 venues.  Needless to say, I am super excited and proud of Michel!  I was also honored when he asked me to take some promotional pictures for Flesh-Light Stories.  The photo session was different from anything I've ever done.  It was a lot of fun!   Then we worked together to design the advertisement below.  The ad will be featured in the program guide for FringeNYC.
Michel and I are also busy designing posters and postcards for the show.  Please check back for information.

I have to say thank you to our model Lilian Tulande for being so very brave and incredible.  It was a very a bizarre shoot and Lily was up for anything, no matter how strange it seemed!  She is also incredibly gorgeous!  Look at those eyes!
