Stanley Scouts Jewelery Cocktail Night

On warmer November night, in Greenwich Village, Laura Stanley (StanleyScouts.com) hosted a vintage and one-of-a kind jewelry sale. Laura has traveled from the Roundtop Antique Fair in Texas and to the markets of India, where she’s been collecting extraordinary pieces of jewelry to share. Laura carefully composed and set up a section for each of the pieces to be displayed. It was a wonderful night, full of delicious catering and cocktails by the Little Owl and excited shoppers to check out some special pieces of jewelry from all over the world. Check out some of the photos from the night!

Moy Family

Last month I spent a morning with the Moy family in midtown. They have a three year old son, named Evan. We started at FAO, but it seemed that Evan was more of a mechanics, trains, subways type of guy. He was attracted to fast moving objects, buttons, stairs, escalators and coin machines. He did not particularly seem to enjoy rocks, grass or stuffed animals as much….and when he saw Ironman, his eyes completely lit up. He’s definitely going to pursue a career in engineering…his curiosity for all things mechanical is too overwhelming– and it’s great! He was so fun to work with– completely open with anyone. He was holding my hand 15 minutes into our session and it was easy to hang out with him. The Moy family was such a friendly family and you can tell that Evan is truly a huge joy in this group! I loved working with them and photographing with them! Here are some highlights from our session:

Piper Yuen!

I like the name Piper.

Jen, the mother of a family I shot last year (the Yuen Family) asked me if I would do a portrait session of her new niece, Piper. It would be a gift to her brother and sister in law. I was excited to go see this 3 month little girl and was lucky enough to be able to do the shoot comfortably at their home. Piper was such a sweet, quiet little baby who was willing to give us smiles. Her favorite item of interest was magenta colored flowers and she didn’t let them out of her sight. But she also was enthralled with the camera. She couldn’t stop staring at the big black box with the round protruding glass. It was actually good that she was so interested in the lens, because that gave us good some great chances to get some beautiful photographs of her. She was such a happy and patient baby. I know it’s tough for newborns to keep working so hard, so she enjoyed her quick power naps throughout our time together-and they made for nice photographs too! Her parents, Roger and Quyen were also really sweet and kind throughout the entire shoot. I was really happy to have worked with such a wonderful family

Eng Family Portraits

Last weekend I spent the morning with the Engs. Jenny is a good friend of mine and is a huge sweetheart. It was her father’s birthday and her parents have always wanted to get a good group of family photos to frame and hang up… so I was lucky enough to be asked by Jenny to take part in preparing their present Her parents chose to shoot at the High Line in Chelsea because her mother was a huge fan of the greens, scenery and markets around the area. We started at Chelsea Market and made our way across the highline. It was a busy day, with a ton of tourists over-riding the place, but we were able to get some fun shots– with the help of some tourists staying out of our way!
