Maddy’s 15th Birthday Event!

Last week I was lucky enough to photograph 10 wonderful girls on a shopping adventure in Soho to celebrate their friend, Maddy’s 15th birthday.  It was definitely a lot of fun, starting off with a lunch at BREAD (2o Spring St.).  The girls were super friendly, energetic, adventurous and definitely enjoyed each other’s company.  Maddy wanted the shoot to be natural– to be comfortable with her friends on her birthday.  My job was to capture some fun creative shots of them doing “their thing”.  It was a little cold and windy outside, but that didn’t stop us from laughing our heads off, jumping up on high walls, running down cobble street and trying on thousand dollar fur coats….  It was a blast.  Maddy even had all her friends pick out the ugliest thing they could find at Top Shop and try it on in the “Personal Shopper” Room.  It was hilarious!

Here are some pictures from the shoot.   (PS: Let them load, some of them are moving pictures ! ;D)

I’m an Aunt! (again!)

My wonderful older sister just gave birth on Wednesday to Baby Lucas Chang! He was 7lbs and 14ozs! I was lucky enough to get a moment to visit her at the hospital and get a few first glimpse at this newborn cutie, Lucas.  He is so sweet and round and his older brother, Joshua seemed to LOVE him to death.  It was so adorable watching Joshua have this heart to really want to hold his baby brother.  Joshua had been so excited for his brother’s coming for awhile!  Luckily my sister had a very complication-free birth and was feeling great very soon after.  Happy mom, happy baby:)

Don’t Walk By

I volunteered last Saturday with a homeless outreach called, “Don’t Walk By” where we scoured the streets of Harlem searching for those that needed shelter, emotional support, help or just a warm plate of food.  They set up base at a local church, send out teams of volunteers that do a few many different things.  They have a transportation team that goes around and picks up those homeless that are incapable of walking, or just need assistance in getting to the base church.  They have a hospitality team that interacts with the homeless to find out what has been troubling them, and just lending them an ear to hear their stories.  They have a street team (which I joined) and we walked around our area searching for the homeless to speak with, and there is also a subway team that goes and rides around in the subways looking for people who need help as well.  It was an enormously uplifting event and they are doing them for 6 weeks- every Saturday.  Check them out here.  I served as their volunteer photographer as well, but mostly ended up talking to people (and my awesome team) more than shooting- just so happened that way.

MetroMix – First Bite: Pera Soho

I know it’s been quite some time since my last update.  I’ve been pretty swamped with work and shoots but consider this a great thing!  Recently shot for MetroMix, Ryan Skeen, head-chef of Pera creating his newish salmon dish, ending with a sweet little smiling portrait of himself.
