Little Miss Aavya

I spent this afternoon with Aavya and her parents. This little princess was simply too adorable. LOOK AT THOSE CURLS!! She gave me and her momma a good workout, but we still had lots of fun.

TTFN!!

Mariah's Sweet 16

This was an AMAZING sweet 16 this past Saturday.  Beautiful cake by Sweet Sweet Sue's, ladies in tables, and a pair of awesome Converse. What a way to party it up. Here is a sneak peek at the party. I can't wait to finish proofing the photos so Mariah and her mom can relive the entire night all over again.

HEADSHOTS FOR AUTISM 10/1 - 10/31

Even though we are a small growing studio we always "Find A Way To Make A Way" to donate to charity. The charity that is closest to our hearts is Autism Speaks. This year a portion of our proceeds from our special events will be donated to our Walk Far for Naar team "AJ's Gs". We fundraise every year in honor of my oldest son Alexander (AJ). He was diagnosed with autism at 2yrs old. He has improved so much over the years but we still have alot of work to do to get him where he should be to have a productive and fulfilling independent life.

Autism is a complex neurological disorder. It effects an individuals behavior, language skills, social skills, and sensory processing system. It's causes are still a mystery to doctors and researchers.

Recent stats show...

* 1 in 94 children in New Jersey has been diagnosed with Autism.
* Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability.
* Autism is four times more prevalent in boys than girls in the US
* More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined
* There has been a 172% increase in Autism in the U.S. in the last decade
* It costs America $90 Million a year to take care of Autistic Individuals needs
* The divorce rate for families with an Autistic child is 80%
* Autism has been on the map since 1943

New Happenings

I'm working on getting my holiday/winter set together, and the props are all starting to come in. I can't wait to show you guys some of the new stuff I have. It's NEVER too early to book your holiday session. Winter mini-sessions will be available from November 1st-30th. More info to follow shortly.

Are you guys interested in pictures with Santa so you don't have to stand on line at the malls with screaming kids? If so send me a note and I'll see what I can do if enough people are interested. As always, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Autism Speaks in honor of my oldest son AJ.

Simply Beautiful!!

I am so excited to shoot Mariah's sweet 16 in about two weeks. I met with her and her mom yesterday for a quick shoot on the Perth Amboy waterfront. It was a beautiful overcast day with a bit of a strong breeze. Even though Mariah was a bit shy she gave GREAT face...lol. I can't wait to see her all dressed up and glowing for her party.

TTFN!!
