What’s it like on the day of the shoot with Natalie Licini?

I’m so grateful that many of my clients have become friends over the last few years.  They often tell me what a blast they had working with me and that it was such a great experience.   It’s something you can’t describe so I thought I’d show you what a day in the life with ME is like.  Adam, owner of Pennylane Productions and famously known as being the BEST videographer in the world, helped bring this video to life.  It really wouldn’t have been possible without him!

Here are a few of my absolute favorite portraits taken during our shoot!

Making this video was very special to me. I wanted future friends to see what a day is like with me. Throughout the process of creating this video, I had such support from friends who I truly love and trust!  Adam was such a source of inspiration on the day of the video.  He really pulled everything together.  I’ve admired his videography since we worked together last year.  He is by far the # 1 videographer, not just because he filmed this but because he’s a pioneer in the industry and an international award winning videographer.

What made this video EXTRA special was having two of my dearest clients join me.  Denise and her 3 year old son James who have become wonderful friends this last year, drove from Brooklyn nearly 2 hours.  She was so excited for our shoot that she bought about 16 outfits for her and James, not to mention loads of toys that he loves. I had so many ideas for this little angel.

I’ve become friends with Christine & James during the last year while they were planning their wedding (thanks to a Facebook recommendation).  I was THRILLED when they booked me as their wedding photographer for their 2012 wedding.  I was so happy to be able to photograph their engagement session at the Old Westbury Gardens, not only because it’s beautiful, but because they would be a part of this video.  Christine and I had so much fun looking for the perfect outfit for the shoot, although she could wear anything and still look like a supermodel. Here are a few of my favorite portraits of Christine & James.

A sincere thanks to everyone for their support in making this video. I truly appreciate it and hope you sleep with these photos under your pillow like I do sometimes.  hehe
