baby session: baby avery at 7 weeks

i had the wonderful opportunity again to take photographs for such a beautiful family. the session was held about a week ago in NJ for baby avery who was 7 weeks at that time. she was such a good baby, although like all the other sessions i've had, we had some breaks for baby avery to relax and be comforted.

we were lucky to blessed with a nice summer weather that day that we were also able to take outdoor shots in their backyard. by the time it got really warm, we were ready to take photos inside their sweet home. i specially loved the yellow baby room where i took most of the shots. kudos to mom and dad who tried to make avery smile for the camera too. i was lucky to catch some of those cute moments when she flashed her adorable baby smile. it was also fun to have their dog around who followed avery's dad wherever he went. i think the dog was jealous some times when he was not included in the photos that he tried to sneak in and join the family. :-)

i'd like to thank again the family for welcoming me into their home. avery's dad didn't get enough sleep the night before since he had to work the night shift and had to go back to work a few hours after our session. thanks again for your time and patience. it was great meeting such a nice family as yours. i hope you like this sneak peek and that you will like the rest of the photos. i hope to see you all again soon. enjoy the rest of the summer. :-)

lots of love...

'The NY Waterfalls' by Olafur Eliasson

i just wanted to share a few pics that i took during our office summer boat cruise. of course, i took the opportunity of taking a lot of photos of the famous NY Waterfalls by artist Olafur Eliasson that will run 'til Oct. 2008. there are four of them along the east river but i specially liked the one under the Brooklyn Bridge which you see here on the photos. for more info, visit the official website: http://www.nycwaterfalls.org/
i included some photos of other views that i took during the cruise. i am also organizing a mini photo exhibit in our office of photographs taken by some people during the cruise and few of these will be images included. :-)

enjoy! :-)

baby session: sweet caroline

this was another special session held a few weeks ago in long island , new york. the little cutie is my niece, Caroline. she was 5 months old when the session was held. she is actually the 1st cousin of my other niece and adorable goddaughter, Amber. i guess cuteness runs in our family :-) click here to see to amber's sessions.

this was the longest session i have done so far and was so much fun. it was the 1st weekend of summer so my cousin had prepared a nice BBQ lunch at their backyard in between the session.
we had a couple of breaks in between too since the perfect time for her to be in a good mood was after she had taken a short nap. then right after she would wake up, her mom and i would be so busy trying make her show her smile. she was just so adorable every time she would flash her cute smile. :-)

to my cousin, alison and caroline ... thanks again for a great session and inviting us to your beautiful new home. thanks again too for the great BBQ! we are looking forward to more summer BBQs! i hope you like the photos and enjoy this sneak peek. have a nice summer weekend!

lots of love..

me and caroline :-)

i hope all of you had a great holiday weekend. i just wanted to share a few of the photos that i took during a trip to washington, dc. the amazing fireworks show was held at the mall. we had a great spot right under the washington monument complete with our beach chairs and cooler packed with food and drinks and waited for the show to start. it rained and poured a couple of times but by the time the fireworks show started, there were only a few showers. it was a lot of fun. :-)

on the pictures, you will see the lincoln memorial in the background. enjoy the photos. :-)
lots of love...
