From Coast to Coast

Erblichs get together.


and in living color (see comments).

Color or Black & White????

Chanie was a doll. I don't get into the studio as much in the summer - this was a great treat!
What's your preferrance? I know what I prefer, but I want to hear from you!!! Post in the comments here!




Here is the whole gang.

Only one more Summer Special!

Call now! Slots are filling up fast!

The baby was very serious.

What a great contrast to his siblings beautiful smiles.



But he smiles too! Especially with Mommy & Daddy helping him walk.

Hershel the Energizer Bunny.

Hershel reminded me of the Energizer Bunny, he just kept on running.
But we got him to sit for a minute ;)

Or we put him up on the log (which he dove off of - no long term damage B"H).

And then I entertainted him (long story...)

Special thanks to Chaya, Dovid and Toby for making the rest a breeze!

Chaim's Bar Mitzvah

Chaim, you did an AMAZING job with the Ma'amer.

The lively Goldsteins.

Mendel can't wait until his Bar Mitzvah!

Lollipop, lollipop....

Check out the little one on the right - she has a lolly in one hand, but prefers the leaves!!

This is from the Hook Family reunion.

What a week!!!

This is just a little bit from this week. I know I will see comments wanting to know where YOUR families photo is. I am really working overtime here to get you a tease - I will get more up as soon as possible!!!!

Growing and watching them grow...

I love to see how the kids grow from year to year. Last time I photographed these kids, Shua was a 1 and a half year old and I was shooting in film. Well, so much has changed. Shua and his brother and sister have really grown. I am now shooting digital and that means that a few hours after the photo shoot I can share it with you.

Lifestyle Photos - Photo Journalism

These photos are lifestyle - journalistic photography. Set in the natural environment, capturing moments with lots of history and storytelling. These newborn photos tell their own stories.

Little Dovid Shlomo in his Great-Grand Father's chair.
Family members of this little newborn, less than 2 weeks old can remember Reb DSD sitting in this chair, one of his favorites. Now his namesake tries it out - these are big shoes to fill!



Watching a newborn stretch I captured this expression.



As I followed him from room to room he took a minute to check me out and see what the fuss was.

Tani's turning 3!!!

Hot doesn't describe what it feels like outside today - it's more like a sauna - my lense kept fogging up - that's how hot!!!

BUT, Tani was a trouper.

Surprise!!!

These kids are surprising their father who is traveling out of the country. They miss you!!! Can't wait until you come home!!

Don't mess with her!

I'm just kidding, Goldy is harmless!



Here are Goldy, Sholom and Shimon having a blast!

Meet Avi

Adorable!

Family Reunions

This past weekend I was very busy documenting family reunions, these rare times when extended families from various parts of the world unite and try to make up for all the lost time apart.

These photos are not always perfect - the youngest ones are often overwhelmed, jet lag, nap time - however - they are perfect for the grandparents and eventually even the youngest members will come to cherish these images.

Enjoy!

Rain, Rain, go away!!!!

and it did!!!

Savta (Grandmother) REALLY, REALLY, wanted the photo outdoors (so did I!!), the rain cleared just enough for us to get some photos in. Exhale Savta!!!

Customized Rosh Hashana cards

What a great way to keep in touch with family and friends. Customized Rosh Hashana cards are availalbe on art paper and make long lasting impressions. In order to have it in time for Rosh Hashana your orders must be submitted before August 24th.

FIVE ALIVE!

This lucky father has 5 daughters.



We had fun outside the house, then we went inside.



The girls changed into these wonderful color T's.



We had a lot of fun!

She was shy...

but I managed to catch her smile.


Her brother wasn't as shy - and it shows.

What a perfect couple!
