River and Rory celebrated their birthdays together at Crossbar NYC on September 27, 2026, and I photographed the party from eleven until one. This is Crossbar NYC birthday party photography from a real family celebration: kids on the indoor soccer turf, a bounce house in steady use, two cakes, and a small group of friends […]

On October 2, 2026, I photographed Morticia’s Ball 2026 at James Ward Mansion in Westfield, New Jersey. It was one of the most visually distinctive events I have worked, with masked guests, candlelit mansion rooms, themed entertainment, and an eclipse-inspired atmosphere built around TOTALITY.

These two chose one of my favorite spots in northern New Jersey for their engagement session, and honestly, I couldn’t have been more excited. There’s something about Verona Park in winter, the bare trees, […]

When Ana Paulina stepped into her Winter Wonderland Sweet Sixteen at The Elan Lodi NJ, you could feel something shift in the room. I’ve shot enough celebrations at this Route 46 venue to recognize that moment when a night goes from good to unforgettable—and I knew within the first five minutes this was going to […]
