Personal - Home Sweet Home

So my trip to PR is over and I am back! I had a lovely time with my family as well getting to explore and share with Michael the beautiful island that was my home for almost a decade. It felt awesome to be there and part of me didn’t even want to come back to this cold, but something was pulling me back to New Jersey…. I had to get back to my kitties! I missed them dearly. We walked in and being greeted with their manic rubbing against our legs, purring and meowing, it felt like we were finally home again. ^.^ So, this post is dedicated to my lovely, beautiful, cute even when they use our couches as scratching posts (!!) kitties Valentino and Niko. ^.^

Heading to the Caribbean- Out of the Office

The holidays are a time to spend with your loved ones, so I decided to take this time and go visit my dad and family some of which live in Puerto Rico. It's going to be nice to spend time with them as well as get away from this freezing cold heading our way! So, to anyone sending e-mails, please know that I will have limited access to internet and I won't be able to respond to any e-mails until next weekend. See you guys when I get back... hopefully with an awesome tan!

Family Session- More of Stony, Paul and little Hudson

I spent my afternoon with the P family at a cafe near their apartment. Because it was so cold out that day, we didn't shoot much outside and instead headed back to their apartment. We ended with some casual shots of the cute, cute Hudson. Thanks Stony and Paul for such a fun time! You guys are awesome! Here's how I spent my time with this fun family.

Wedding- Meet Marissa and John

Marissa and John got married at The Palace at Somerset Park. Their wedding was beautiful and filled with gorgeous details. Their attention to detail was not limited the wedding planning, Marissa and John bought each other special gifts that were exchanged during the first look. John is a huge hockey fan and Marissa being the awesome, supportive wife gifted him hockey tickets and cuff links in the shape of.. why the New York Rangers emblem of course. ^.^ In return, John got her a beautiful necklace. Their thoughtful gestures towards each other really resonated with me and I would like to wish them the best in their new life together. As usual, it was a great experience to assist my friend Inku during their big day.

Personal- Day trip by the Countryside

If you follow me on my fb page, you know that this past Saturday was my first free day in what seems like ages. During this time, I wanted to relax a little by doing something I haven’t gotten to do because of my busy schedule. Michael and I put our walking shoes on and summoned our adventurous spirits for a day trip to the country side of Hunterdon County New Jersey equipped with our cameras. Our initial plan was to visit an apple picking farm (I love anything pick your own) but as plans have a tendency of not working out, we got there to see the sign in front of the gates reading “closed for the rest of the season”, which by the way was completely opposed to what their website stated! So disappointed but not beaten, we drove around some more trying to find some way to salvage our afternoon. That is how we ended up hanging out at an ancient cemetery with ironically beautiful fall foliage and trespassed into some kind neighbor’s property for some photos in their corn field. The afternoon was filled with ups and downs, but totally random and in the end a perfectly fitting way for us to spend our day off. Here are some of the photos from Saturday!



This is an ancient cemetery and church that we found while driving around. The building was pretty uninteresting but the grounds had really beautiful vibrant maple trees, so we had to stop by for a bit!

Me just having fun.. did not feel creepy at all but we just stuck by the trees. hehe

This photo reminds me of my early photography days. I used to go around everyday looking for pretty nature stuff to photograph so it felt nice to go back to my roots. ^.^

hehe That's his shooting pose. You do not want to see mine. I look silly!

Beautiful corn field...

...the corn was the greatest quality for eating, but I love the different colors and textures of this corn. Makes for a great photo and that's what I'm all about! Hope everybody has a great week!

Engaged- Meet Clara and Bill

It was cold and cloudy the day Michael and I met up with Clara and Bill for our afternoon in Central Park. However, the weather didn’t dampen their enthusiasm one bit, in fact it was almost as if nothing else mattered or existed as long as they were together. No, really! They were all over each other the whole time and I almost felt bad breaking them apart after each shot. Here are some of my favorites from that session. Congrats to Clara and Bill!





















I am ending the post with this image just because it's just so them... ^0^
